"Very limited in what he can do but very, very good in what he does. He's a pure pocket passer, and he's great at dishing it out, and he's proven that he's clutch ... he's proven that he can win the big games. That, I think, is what we have to look at, or the Eagles -- it's about winning, it's about being clutch, doing, really, what you expect your players to do. And he does it as well as anyone." If you actually watch the games this is what you see. Foles is a quick reader of the field. He will do well in a quick pass offense like the Pats run. He'd probably be better then he's shown in an RPO offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Unnamed Eagles begin to push back against Carson Wentz While he has been described as “incredibly hard working,” “determined,” and “highly intelligent,” Wentz also has been dubbed as, quoting from the story, “‘selfish,’ ‘uncompromising,’ ‘egotistical,’ one who plays ‘favorites’ and doesn’t like to be ‘questioned,’ one who needs to ‘practice what he preaches’ and fails ‘to take accountability.'” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/unnamed-eagles-begin-push-back-153413648.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz did the large majority of the QBing that season. When Foles QB'd that team went 2-1 before the playoffs, while under Wentz they went 11-2. And that 2-1 was against the 3-13 Giants, the 6-10 Raiders and a loss with zero points scored against the 9-7 Cowboys. Foles played decently and well in the playoffs, but he didn't get them that championship. He took the baton and ran pretty well the last few miles of the marathon. They had home field advantage throughout the playoffs and that was huge. Foles has been in a great situation, because each year he's come in late and teams don't have a ton of video on him. Over a whole season, Foles can be figured out. I hope you're right that Foles can be a franchise guy but you have to prove that over more than a few games a season.

Even more obvious ... you don't know what I watched this year, particularly from reading a post which said nothing about Wentz this year.

So yeah, I agree it could be something that happens, but for Washington to afford to spend big on a QB in FA this would all have to be known and happen in the next 30 days. And so far there is no signs or indication Alex Smith is about to retire. They aren’t even sure he will have to miss the 2019 season yet. His season is in jeopardy, but it’s not for sure he will all of it, part of it, or none of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when the Pats had no concern about trading Bledsoe to a certain AFCE squad? I'm of the opinion that Foles could very well fail outside of that particular system. Perhaps the Eagles feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Foles was quick to void his 2019 option year with the Philadelphia Eagles and is wasting no time ponying up $2 million as part of that buyout. According to a source, the payment was being taken care of Wednesday, one day after Foles opted out. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25937919/nick-foles-makes-2-million-buyout-philadelphia-eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty obvious it was going down this road. You likely get a better pick trading him (3rd round comp pick is after the round and in the 2020 draft, and you may swing a late 2nd or early 3rd for him on the tag). The only thing that sucks is he's just eating into the cap, and no one is sure when a trade will occur. They're over the cap as it stands now and that's after losing Graham, Tate, & Darby. Franchising Foles means you're basically cutting people (Peters, Bennett, Long, Kelce - that would net 27... the tag is 25). So even after those cuts you can't sign anyone until you trade Foles. You could also try to offload Agholors contract (5th year option so I think somewhat guaranteed, or you net literally nothing) - but expect the compensation to be really low-balled. This is a team in a transition any way you look at it, and they need to get younger. They're likely losing their top 3 pass rushers, and some starters on the offensive line. Get what you can for Foles as soon as possible before the players you want are already gone in FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is an overly simplistic notion Indeed. I'm of the opinion that Foles will come crashing back to Earth next season once he's "the man." The run he had in 2018 was nothing short of miraculous, but some team will regret giving him a big deal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Foles would have some control over a trade. He couldn't be moved until he signed his tender. Foles would effectively have a de facto no-trade clause or veto power since his cooperation would be necessary in order to be dealt to another team. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-if-eagles-use-the-franchise-tag-on-nick-foles-heres-a-look-at-possible-risks-rewards/ https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-if-eagles-use-the-franchise-tag-on-nick-foles-heres-a-look-at-possible-risks-rewards/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
