As Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach Chip Kelly announced last week, there will be a quarterback competition in Philly which will include a battle between Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez and even Tim Tebow.
However, the last quarterback to officially play in the lead role was Sanchez who started for the Eagles’ last eight games in 2014. Probably feeling somewhat territorial, Sanchez seemed secure when asked if he thought he had a chance to win the starting role (via CSN Philly).
Absolutely. That’s the way I understand it.
Sanchez explained that the reason he signed a $9 million two-year deal was to continue to play with the Eagles and compete for the starting job.
