26CornerBlitz Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 The Curious Case of Nick Foles: What's Next? PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles stood on stage at the ESPYS this summer, looking out at a sea of stars as a montage of his Super Bowl heroics played on the giant screen behind him. He tried to sum up the trip to this moment, which he admittedly never expected to be in. "It's been a crazy career," he said after accepting an award for Best Championship Performance. "If any of y'all know my career path, it doesn't make sense. But, I'm here right now." The polarity of Foles' NFL career may be unequaled. How do you go from throwing 27 touchdowns and two interceptions one year to getting traded, then benched, in subsequent seasons? How do you go from arguably the worst start of your professional life, against the Dallas Cowboys in 2013, to throwing a record-setting seven touchdowns your next time out? How do you go from almost retiring to sputtering backup to Super Bowl MVP, outdueling Tom Brady in the largest of moments along the way? And, most importantly moving forward, is there a way to harness the good, and minimize the bad, in order to stabilize and become a dependable, maybe even top-tier starter in this league? Another chapter in The Curious Case of Nick Foles will be submitted Thursday night. He'll start in the 2018 opener against the Atlanta Falcons while Carson Wentz awaits medical clearance to resume play following a multi-ligament knee injury suffered in December. Whether it's a game or two or more before Wentz's return, this is Foles' limited chance to leave a fresh impression on evaluators for 2019. The additional tape could help Foles' bid to land a starring role elsewhere in 2019, and it could also prove to be a most damaging development. Judging off history, there is likely no in-between.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Who thinks Foles will be great, good, decent, or poor in this game? I predict poor to decent. But it could be any of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Your starting QB goes down and the next man up wins you the Superbowl. If I was an Eagles fan I would think my team was really well built.

That's a tough decision and one I'm grateful I don't have to make....my gut says yes, pull the trigger. As much as we will probably have to rely on Shady this year, I just don't see how he alone can be the difference.... Just my two cents.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the season began, I would've accepted a hearty 50 wing platter of pit bbq wings from La Novas(or Duff's for that matter) for Lawson. But from what I've seen, heard and read so far this season, I'm curious to see what a (finally) healthy and no excuses Lawson can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
