The Frankish Reich Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 5 years, $27.5 million with certain incentives and "escalators" that could add another $11 million. So if he performs well, the top end is 38.5 million. And if he performs poorly, it is essentially voidable by the Eagles after 2 years. Tyrod: 2 years, $30.5 million. And he is obviously a better fit for the Dennison offense than Tyrod was. For those of you who'd say, "where we you when he was a free agent" - I was right here, suggesting that Foles was far and away the best "bridge" QB free agent out there .... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I could be alright with Foles as a Bridge if we draft a 1st rd QB in this years draft. Edited January 22, 2018 by Real McCoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Rams gave it a shot and we saw how well that turned out. That 7 touchdown extravaganza is long gone, even with as well as he is playing today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, it's too late now. The Eagles have him for certain for at least one more year, and with Wentz's recovery timetable uncertain, no way he's going anywhere. It just kills me to watch a team with a better backup than our starter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check. EDIT: This is not the "I love Nick Foles" thread. I just think we missed an opportunity for a reasonably priced upgrade. And I am legitimately puzzled as to why we never even heard of any Bills' interest in Foles last offseason.

BringBackOrton Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Because Tyrod is our QB.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nick Foles played like crap other than his one great year under Chip Kelly and he contemplated retirement. He's in a great offense with excellent personnel at WR, TE, and RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 On his good days he looks good on his bad days he looks bad he has a few too many bad its not a complicated discussion, simply that you can’t just take him at his best and expect it consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. You'll grant me this I hope: Nick Foles is at least as good an NFL QB as Tyrod Taylor. And he was considerably cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Here's what people forget: he was this good for an entire season. Everyone wrote that off as a Chip Kelly phenomenon. But not everyone was this good under Chip Kelly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
