A coaching job....

I stopped reading right there. I presume you're speaking about Rosen? I have yet to hear any credible scout call him 'generational.' Let's not get carried away on the talent pool available this year, even though it looks likely the Bills are going to draft a QB...

Hey, OJ was in that movie wasn't he....

LOL. I'm not telling Roseman what to do any more than other posters on TSW tell Beane what to do. But in investments and pro sports, it's almost always better to sell too soon than too late. Getting two high draft picks for an expiring asset just makes sense to me, more so than having an insurance policy that might not pay off. After all, if Foles is so pedestrian, he probably could never pull another playoff run out of his a$$ like he did this year...

Those are COOOOOOOL!!! Me wanty....

That game was a coin flip. Just as likely to lose the next one with a year older roster....

We'll see, but I look at the Pats approach to SB runs and the one thing they are is ruthless about churning their roster to keep the draft capital flowing. Standing still and hoping to recaputure lightning is an iffy proposition...

Not expensive in money. Expensive in the lost opportunity to have two good players via draft picks to keep the team stocked after Foles leaves next year. 3-D chess, not checkers...

I think McD wants young legs at the position. I'd be surprised if they target an older guy who's only going to get slower...

Pretty expensive insurance policy. Maybe Roseman should call Geico. All I know is that he'll have spoiled milk on his hands if he goes into the season with Foles on the roster. At best he'll get a team with an injury during the season to give him a pick for a playoff rental Foles--and that probably would not be a 1st and a 4th. His trade value is at a premium now, before the draft. Roseman should seriously think about signing a guy like McCown for his "insurance" QB and getting as much as possible for a guy like Foles who he's going to lose for nothing if he gets too cute...

I'm with you. This QB class is not 1983 2.0. We need a QB, but we also need to be realistic about what the cost/benefit of a Rosen or Mayfield is. If you think they're potential HOFs, then 4-5 draft picks can be justified. If you think they're Wentz, Goff, Marriota, then 2-3 picks are OK. If you think they're just average starting quality NFL prospects, then I don't want to give up more than 2 picks...

Correct: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000422133/article/eagles-nick-foles-broken-collarbone-out-68-weeks

Yep, the bench saved them. There were some really tight staters there tonight. And still they scored 76...

As a Stanford guy?? No way, he'd go for Rosen IMO...

Not tin foil, but is this what you're referring to?? https://ikippahs.com/products/show-me-the-money?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=33013473423&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8cKA6_Di2QIVWrjACh2j8wL4EAYYASABEgKDgPD_BwE

No way!!! That's way too much to give up for any QB, let alone the guys in this draft class. I'll be breaking out my pitchfork and torch if Beane pulls a stunt like that....

How about #65 this year and next year's second? That's like saying Foles for TT and next year's #2. That's a deal I do eight days a week. And one very few teams could likely top...

Easier to use the ignore user feature...

Philly can huff and puff about wanting a first or more for Foles, but they're over a barrel. They'll get nothing if he's on the roster at the end of 2018. Now they could hold off and hope another team has an injury and gets desperate. But IMO, they'll eventually jump on something like this year's #2 and a 2019 second round pick--which I'd be happy to oblige...

Foles makes less than half that ($6.1 million per year through 2021) and has accomplished more. He'd be a better mentor to a Rd1 QB pick as well. If it took less than a first to get him, I'd rather go that route than AJ...

Philly did the most "unlike the NFL-thing" they could possibly do when Wentz went down and they were forced to rely on Foles--they changed their offense to suit what he was most comfortable/able to do. Virtually to a man, NFL coaches are about hammering round, square, triangular and oblong pegs into round holes. They are infatuated by their own expertise and ability to play a system and get the roster to follow suit. It took an iconclast like Pederson to shrug off that straitjacket. Now I may be wrong and have not followed Foles career enough, but he seems like the classic square peg in round hole guy. Played his best football under smart offensive-mined guys like Pederson and Reid and struggled under boneheads like Jeff Fisher. He also seems like the proverbial plain-jane little sister that the guys all ignored until she put on some makeup and filled out her blouse. I'd be fine with Foles as the bridge guy if none of the first round picks are involved in landing him Daboll could steal from Pederson's RPO playbook and build an offense that would accentuate Foles' strengths and help a rookie draft pick learn the ropes. Foles also has a cap-friendly contract that runs through 2021 [ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/nick-foles-9898/ ] that wouldn't be that hard to carry if the heir apparent comes on faster than anticipated...

Let's add a fourth: waste of good server space....

I'm a Rosen fan (which worries me since I'm wrong more often than not in my old age) But IMO, he's head and shoulders above the rest as a pure passer (I see so much of Brady in him). My worries stem from his intangible leadership/fire in the belly traits. I just wonder if his personality has enough steel in it to be a franchise-type lay-it-on-the-line kind of player in the NFL. If those questions could be answered, he'd be the answer, IMO...

Philly's RPO was a pretty good offense. I woundn't mind copying it...
