BigSky Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 This year is a bust. I would get Foles via FA next year and let Allen learn behind him for however long it takes. Rogers sat behind Favre for several years before starting and it worked great. BTW NOT saying Foles is as good as Farve but he’s a hell of a lot better than any other veteran QB who will be available. Get a decent WR via FA and find another in the draft. Draft the best lineman available with our first pick and try to find a decent vet as well. Obviously need to fill some other holes as well but that’s how I would start as GM. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Foles is not worth signing to a long term deal which is what it would take. Just because a guy is good in a system doesn't mean he would be the same in another system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don’t understand why folks keep bringing up wanting to get Foles. He has clearly stated routinely that he’ll retire if the Eagles trade him. He’s in his last spot of his career with a coach he admires. Must be that some people only casually follow the NFL.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jletha Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There is no way they let Allen sit another year. This is Allens year to learn and observe. Next season he will go into camp as the ingrained stater and get all the 1st team reps so that we can truly evaluate him. You cant look at Rodgers and say "Hey it worked for him!". That situation in GB was very unique in that they had a HOF QB that was still competitive so there was no need to put Rodgers in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Foles isn't as amazing as people think. Doug Pederson and his staff last year are responsible for designing a scheme that Foles is very good at executing. But, when a defense figures out how to stop that, Foles isn't really able to adjust. He's not a well-rounded QB. He can do a few things really well, and the rest of it, he's either average or just not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's a zero percent chance that he doesn't go chase a $20 million a year contact after his is up.

Bangarang Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If Allen still needs to sit behind Foles next year then you might as well look at drafting his replacement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If Shurmur thought highly of Foles he would be traded to the Giants. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what all vets with kids who like their school district (except Fitz) tell their team. Wouldn't you say the same thing if you liked your cushy backup job and new superbowl ring? I would. He's probably telling the truth though, God hates a liar and Folesy is tight with the man upstairs. How else could he have caught that TD pass in the big game? Personally I think we should part with no picks or personnel unless we get a serious offer for Shady. We have Bears, Jets then a bye, and the kid will be back on Nov 24th at home vs the Jags, ready for phase two of his qb trainee program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Foles IMO is not going to come cheap and not going to sign on to be a seat warmer. Why should he? His stock will never be higher he should cash in while he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring in Foles to be our team preacher, as he says he always wanted to be one. The only time I would play him is if we went to the Super Bowl. Then put him in for the Beef on Weck play, which is far more innovative than his Phily Phily Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? Yeesh. If Foles was as good as some people on this board think, he would've been signed to a team to be the starter. So he stays in Philly which is really the only place he's had any kind of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Philly was in a major rush to sit him on the Bench and get Wentz with newly rehabbed knee out there because Foles stunk up the joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not coming here, but I think you're misunderstanding the recommendation. He wouldn't come as a starter, but as arguably the best backup in the league.
