BillsFan4 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 2 hours ago, Boatdrinks said: I wouldn't advocate giving up a first. I think he goes for less than that. As for playcalling, do we know that the Bills coaches are incapable of building a system around what a guy CAN do well? They have Tyrod Taylor. Doesn't shock me they want to run first and hold their breath when it's time to pass. We know what Foles did in the SB. Can you envision plugging in Tyrod to that game and seeing him do ANY PART of what Foles did? I can't. I'd be perfectly happy replacing Taylor with Foles if the cost were right. But not for a 1st +. As as far as Daboll building a system around what our guys do well, I have very high hopes that is what he will do. It appears that was something Beane and McDermott were specifically looking for in a new OC, and it's something Daboll has said will be a focus. But looking at Daboll's track record (as well as the way McDermott coached last season) makes me think we will still be a run centered team. It's hard to know for sure though because he's had crap for QBs pretty much wherever he's been. He does have a pretty varied run scheme - kind of reminds me of Greg Roman in that regard. He has consistently improved the run game of whatever team he's been an OC for, and it seems to be something he's focused on in the past. Where as his passing offenses have been near the bottom of the NFL (again likely due mainly to his QBs). That could all change if he gets a good passing QB though. Mainly for me it just boils down to me not thinking Foles is worth the asking price. Id much rather use a 1st + more on a rookie QB with a much higher ceiling in th draft. It's a gamble but if it pays off we are set. I want to take a shot on a QB with elite potential. Id be happy with Foles as a bridge QB though if we can get him for a mid round pick, but I'm guessing some team that misses out in free agency could panic and pay more for him. I don't really want that to be us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26TrapDraw Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 1 hour ago, KelsaysLunchbox said: True, and none have had an opportunity. Lets not judge a fish on his ability to climb a tree. Most of those same names all have the opportunity to far exceed Nick Foles. There's a heck of a reward. Nick Foles is the ugly girl in the bar, who you know you can take home and I even heard she makes a decent pancake. We should settle on that right? That "10" that walked in? Haven't heard about her pancake skills...so no need to chase that. Why risk a bad ? I've heard Daboll does well adapting the offense to his team. I have to think Daboll may like that Jackson has experience in the E-P offense. Ultimately Beane did say he wasn't basing the decision on who fits the offense because Daboll could be gone in a year or two "as a HC himself". Very Confucius of you. Here's another: Man goes to bed with itchy butt he wake up with smelly fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 22 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: No doubt! I would think 1 first and 1 or 2 seconds, or a 1st, a 2nd and a player Although I like Foles, I see trading for Foles as the worst of both worlds. If we trade our draft for a QB, we can fill out the roster with FA. If we sign a FA QB, we can fill our roster with draft picks. If we trade our draft for a QB then pay the big bucks to resign him, I'm not sure what we do to fill our roster. Hope we have a great eye for cuts and UDFA I guess. I don't think anyone will give up that much for him, so either lower the asking price, or take your 2020 comp pick i guess. 2 hours ago, whatdrought said: Right, but that's a cheap year to discover if he is worth the money. With Keenum you pay the money right now. Typically when the idea of trading Foles is brought up it's included with the statement that the Eagles really like Nate Sudfield. Who knows if that's accurate, but that is a big factor. Yeah, but you lose assets trading for him. Keenum costs you nothing from a draft pick stand point, except maybe a comp pick if you qualify.

Yeah it may be changing, but the rules still favor the QB. PHI & LAR did not have great rosters until they got a QB.

The SB winning QBs from the NFC during this time period are Brad Johnson, Brees, Rodgers, Manning, Wilson and Foles. Foles & Johnson are the only 2 non-franchise guys. That's 2 wins out of 17 tries. Beane is on record saying: "It's a quarterback league. I mean, who are we kidding?" Beane said. "If you look at the playoffs teams, the consistent guys that at least qualify for the playoffs or are close every year, most of them have QBs, most of them have a legit quarterback. If you want to use the word franchise, whatever word you want to use, so I understand that. Cam in Carolina was, is, a franchise quarterback. If you're a GM, you have to find a franchise quarterback.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Its a buyers market when it comes to QB's. Can't remember there ever being this many free agent QB's available who can play in addition to as many as 5 guys in the draft with 1st round grades. I highly doubt anybody's giving up a 1st rounder for Foles. There's always a high demand for QB's but never this much supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm not sure the Eagles can get too greedy when it comes to Foles. He just kind of re-discovered his love of the game, so I'm not sure he will be okay with getting traded anywhere. I could see Minnesota or Arizona. I think DeFellipo is going to want to bring back Bradford or bring in Cousins. I think Arizona makes a ton of sense because Foles has a cheap contract, they have very little in the way of cap, he's a good fit with Mike McCoy, and he played at Arizona U. The Cards also really need to consider signing a vet to go with Larry Fitzgerald for the last few years of his career. I think the Bills could make some sense from a culture standpoint and familiarity with the coaching staff. I could also see Denver if they can't get Cousins, though I am not sure if Foles would like being in a spot where John Elway is breathing down his throat.

MTBill Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 My question - is this posturing by the Eagles? I just wonder if this isn't going to the court of public opinion... My hot take on Foles. He had a good SB, don't get me wrong. But a big part of why he was the MVP is that he was expected to be a dud and wasn't. Many of the media bobble heads had Philly out of the running when Wentz went down - and continued to every week. I think Foles could be an upgrade for us - but he is not a long term solution and I don't think worthy of more than a #2. That is a lot of draft capital for a band aid (with 1 year on his deal).

If they traded for Foles , I could see them drafting a QB at 21. A QB taken there could use a couple seasons backing up. Plenty of time for that to sort itself out. I could see the Bills doing this if they think the cost to move up for a guy they covet is too high or just impossible to surpass what other teams can offer. 23 minutes ago, MTBill said: My question - is this posturing by the Eagles?
