The Eagles are going to try to get Nick Foles back.

The Eagles might be a bigger train wreck than the Niners.

 

[Jakology]

This has got to be a joke. There's just no way this is true.

 

[bksballer89]

I don't see why that's so funny. Foles actually performed good in Philly so that is actually not a bad idea

 

[bksballer89]

Eagles were well on their way to their 2nd straight playoffs appearance last season until Foles went down for the season

 

[Jakology]

I don't see why that's so funny. Foles actually performed good in Philly so that is actually not a bad idea

He performed well in a system that was still fairly new to the NFL that teams weren't sure how to defend yet, and he thrived on the quick reads. He goes to an offense where he has to do more, and he flops. I liked him at first, but now it's clear to see that he's game manager material at best. And to bring him back after trading him away, is just hilarious to me.

 

[Jakology]

Does this mean Sam Bradford to the LA Rams?

 

[bksballer89]

He has one bad season on a shitty team and all of sudden he's some awful QB....OK

Its hard to say but I'm skeptical. Foles basically can't throw the ball more than 10yds down the field. You can scheme around that but you really, really shouldn't. The only argument that would make sense is if Foles was intentionally tanking on the Rams.

I'm just not ready to declare him as some bad QB already. I need to see him struggle for more than one season before making that decision

 

[Jakology]

He was bad in 2014 too once teams had keyed on how to defend that offense. I never said he was awful. He can manage a game if he has a running game and some nice weapons to throw to, but he's not someone who can win big games. Basically. Poor man's Alex Smith.

Basically all we have with Foles is one season where he was the most efficient QB in the NFL, one season where he played 50/50 with Mark Sanchez and one season where he was the worst starting QB in the NFL. The trend suggests that he is getting worse not better.

Alex Smith with head trauma to where he can't read NFL defenses at all, maybe.

You're comparing a great game manager to a guy that just throws it because it seems like a good idea

Yeah, that's why I said poor man's. He's not on his level at all.

Alex Smith is also way more mobile than Nick Foles.

Alex Smith isn't Aaron Rodgers or anything but he is has been a solid QB in the league for a few years now. I think Nick Foles has to be seen as a backup QB with potential to get his old glory back at some point.

Tough year if you're looking for a starting QB either through FA or the draft. There are some solid back up FAs just not sure I'd want them starting on my team. The best FA options in no particular order for me are: Curt Cousins, Nick Foles, Sam Bradford and Oswieller. All have had moments of potential greatness as well as total duds. As for the colege ranks you always have to factor in itxs a crap shoot. You could get a Ryan Leaf or Johnny $ type? Wertz, Goff and Paxton Lynch maybe the only three you could feel good about drafting? They could dud out just as easy, and maybe someone finds a gem in the late rounds? I'm glad NE is relatively solid at QB going into next year.

 

[Duffman]

Can anyone tell me who the guy on the left is? I know the one on the right is Nick Foles.

 

[Harry Seaword]

Does this mean Sam Bradford to the LA Rams?

NO

 

[Jakology]

NO

Aww come on. It would be a fun story.

 

[tducey]

If I'm the Eagles I stay away from Foles and draft a QB this coming draft.
