Virgil Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I’m going to take a beating for this one. Anyways...... If you are the Eagles, is any part of you debating trading Wentz this offseason? The team not only won a Super Bowl with Foles, but they played completely differently underneath him this season, to the point where they turned the season around and made the playoffs. I understand Foles history before the past two years, but has he not proven enough with the Eagles to know you can win with him? He’s only 29, so he could easily have another 5-10 years left. Wentz trade value would be insane. I know this won’t happen and I know the knee jerk reactions, but I’m kinda serious here. Why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I would if I’m the Eagles. Personally I wanted Foles here before the offseason. I’m encouraged though by Allen at this point 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has even half of the run that he had last year, and the whole team plays better for him, it's really hard to send him away... Wentz could probably get two ones. I hate it though because it seems like the natural place for either of these two would be Miami. Edited December 31, 2018 by whatdrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I just read an article that talked about this. Where Wentz might be the better overall QB, but Foles is the better QB for the Eagles and their scheme. The other issue, and I didn’t realize how bad it is, that the Eagles are in cap hell. They can’t even afford to Franchise tag Foles and trade him. So it would require a lot of money management. Made me feel leas crazy for asking. They also have Darby’s contract coming up soon. I’d love to bring him back. 1 minute ago, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: Trade to who? I have to think teams would trip over themselves to get him.

Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I guess it would depend how bad his back is. Could be hard to trade if he is damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 If Foles can make another run this is going to be a very interesting off season. What do you do with the QB who has made both of your playoff runs? If he hits free agency, someone will give Foles a disgusting contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s another major point. This is two straight seasons he couldn’t finish. Going into his injury last year, I had him as the NFL MVP. It’s really interesting. If Luck can bounce back, Wentz should be able to I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Wentz cant stay healthy- a big problem to have. His value is probably a little lower then Philly would like right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to happen for scheme and probably personality differences. That said, Philly looks real bad trading Wentz, who likely is still not healed 100% from his ACL tear. They paid a king's ransom to move into 2nd and take him just 3 years ago. Every off-season gets longer and longer with all this speculation swirling 24/7.

Laughing Coffin Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Was having MVP season last year and got hurt late. This year comes back arguably not at full strength yet. Completes 69% and has a 21 td and 7 Int season. Not great, but definitely good enough to call any calls to trade him for Foles a ridiculous overreaction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Wentz is their future. Foles is just a guy. They will regret it if they stick with him after this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This one bears watching Foles is going to want to start and who can blame him Wentz is starting to hear the injury prone whispers I’d give it one more year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing our luck, the Pats bite your Tongue! i would die if the pats got him. i think the Broncos would go all out for him. I think the bidding war for Wentz would be the most fascinating part of the whole process and now i hope it happens but praying to God he goes anywhere but the AFC East. 51 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: You just had to go there, didn't you ... ? 1.

I’m looking at the final results of the past two seasons and you could argue that Foles overall gets it done better for the Eagles, even though he might not overall be the better QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, didnt the Eagles get get two firsts for oft injured mediocre Bradford?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
