ROFL

Foles wasn't benched. Foles wasn't ever the starter. He was playing because Vick was injured.

In almost every case, Foles would have gone back to being 2nd string the instant Vick signed a contract extension.

As it stands, Chip Kelly openly declared that VICK isn't the starter and the position would be subject to COMPETITION.

Foles benched? ROFL

DaKCMan AP said no to Cassel in 2008-2009.

DaKCMan AP says no to Foles in 2013.


DaKCMan AP - Awesome QB guru.

The guy who wanted Wilson now wants Foles. :Lin:

What are you doing, bro? Put this shitty thread away and get back to pimping Tyler.

We don't want Foles. **** him with a screwdriver. In the eye.

So here's whet KC needs to do;

1) Trade our 2nd for Alex Smith
2) Trade our 3rd for Nick Foles
3) Trade our 2013 3rd and our 2014 2nd for Matt Flynn

Then we can draft LT, DL, OG, DT, LT, DT with the remaining picks in that order at those positions.

With this foolproof plan KC can fullfill every NFL draft expert's wet dreams!

Who's with me?!? Come everyone, let's all get on the backup QB band wagon!!! I mean just because it has not worked in almost 37 years does not mean we have to give up on this plan right?!?!?

...sarcasm off...

I'd consider is. It at least removes all the ****ing shitty ass backups out of the equation whom league experts claim should be starters somewhere in the league.

If we have them all, we can't trade for any. Then we can draft Geno.

Right?

And think of the possibilites of switching QB's each down?!?

1st down Alex Smith, 2nd down Nick Foles, 3rd down bring in Flynn. Then just keep on switching the QB's in and out. Once we have the D's head spining we really sock it to 'em by putting Joekel in a QB and Albert at HB and run the wishbone.

My God we'll be a juggernaut!!!!!

Folse will not happen! We are no longer Chiefs of old.....Welcome Geno Smith!

:grovel:

ESPN's Chris Mortensen suggested Nick Foles could be acquired by #Chiefs for "probably a third-rounder": http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7475/nick-foles …

ESPN's Chris Mortensen stated on NFL 32 Thursday that he believes Nick Foles could be acquired for a third-round pick.
Foles-to-Kansas City is the obvious connection because Andy Reid drafted Foles and the Chiefs need a quarterback. (Desperately.) "I do believe there is some substance to the desire to talk to the Eagles about Nick Foles," said Mort. "I think it'd take probably a third-rounder to get Foles. So I wouldn't close the door on that." In an ideal world, the Chiefs could acquire Foles for a third-rounder, re-sign Dwayne Bowe, and perhaps draft Luke Joeckel at No. 1 overall. Feb 21 - 5:23 PM

Eagles' Kelly supports Foles, hazy on Asomugha

http://www.profootballweekly.com/201...zy-on-asomugha

INDIANAPOLIS — New Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said that he’d like to coach QB Nick Foles, despite talk that the second-year QB could be traded.

“I want to coach Nick Foles,” Kelly said. “And I want to get a chance to spend time with him.”

Kelly was followed on the podium by former Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who was asked if he might want to trade for Foles and bring him to Kansas City with the Chiefs. Reid declined to comment, per NFL tampering rules.

But Kelly’s most vague, non-committal quote came when asked about CB Nnamdi Asomugha, who is due $15.5 million in 2013.

"I think Nnamdi has the skill set … that can play football," Kelly said.

Asked several more times about Asomugha, Kelly deferred to the Eagles’ personnel department. The only other non-quarterback Kelly was asked about was LB DeMeco Ryans, and Kelly was rather effusive of his praise.

Kelly said that he has watched film of every current Eagles player from last season but that it only can reveal so much.

“I have watched every game, every cut-up of every player, but until you see them in minicamp you don’t know what you have,” he said. “The film can tell you a lot but not everything.”

Michael Vick revamped his contract to return to Philadelphia this season, and the Eagles have signed Kelly’s former quarterback at Oregon from 2007, Dennis Dixon, who just won a ring as a practice-squad member of the Ravens last season. It’s clear that the remainder of the Eagles’ QB depth chart remains in flux, but Kelly wasn’t giving too many indications which direction it might turn.

“I am not a predictor of how things will work, and I have not had a chance to work with them,” he said. “I last saw Dennis Dixon in 2007, and I haven’t had a chance to work with Michael or Nick. I saw Nick play. I never saw Trent Edwards in person.”

Eagles GM Howie Roseman followed Kelly and said Foles is in the team’s plans.

"Foles is a talented guy, and we just drafted him last year,” Roseman said. “I think this is a different situation than we've had the past couple of years where we had quarterbacks. We like the player.”

Roseman said it’s bad business to get rid of talented quarterbacks.

“We're trying to accumulate good, young players. We're not in the business of trying to get rid of good, young players."

Roseman would not specifically say if the Eagles would play a 3-4 defense following the hiring of coordinator Billy Davis, who has coached both 3-4 and 4-3 systems, but he did indicate that the Eagles’ personnel could fit a 3-4 scheme if needed, noting Brandon Graham could be a 3-4 outside linebacker.

Whose ideal world?

**** YOU CHRIS MORTENSON!

If we give up anything higher than a 4th for Foles, that's going to suck.

Chiefs can forget about acquiring Foles, for now

Story Highlights

Eagles GM Howie Roseman, coach Chip Kelly says Nick Foles is in the team's plans for 2013
Kelly concedes Eagles offense would change depending on whether Michael Vick or Foles was starting

INDIANAPOLIS – Howie Roseman saw Andy Reid approaching and yelled out, "Hey, Coach Reid." It signaled the end of the Philadelphia Eagles general manager's press conference as Roseman yielded the podium.

It seems that's the only trade those two will be making.

Despite the Kansas City Chiefs' interest in acquiring Nick Foles, as USA TODAY Sports reported last week, the Eagles don't plan on making the second-year quarterback available to his former coach – at least not immediately.

Roseman indicated as much. As did Eagles coach Chip Kelly. And as did Reid.

"He's not available. You just had Howie up here (on the podium), so I think you know that," Reid said, addressing a Philadelphia reporter's inquiry. "I'm glad you asked the question. I miss that."

ANOTHER OPTION?: 49ers GM mum on Alex Smith's future

After a laugh from Reid and the assembled media, Reid continued, "Listen, Nick is the property of the Philadelphia Eagles. I think they like him. … I drafted him along with Howie and Howie's still there. I know Howie likes him."

That's precisely what Roseman said during his session with the media. Kelly has spoken at length about Foles' toughness and continues to say the signing of Michael Vick to a renegotiated contract doesn't spell the end of Foles' tenure in Philly.

"I wanna coach Nick," Kelly said. "I wanna spend time with him and see him."

But here's where it gets a bit interesting. On Feb. 11, the day the team announced Vick's restructuring and the hiring of the coaching staff, Kelly was asked about having an open competition between Vick and Foles while running two different systems.

"I don't think it's two different systems," Kelly replied.

Asked Thursday about that statement and how the mobile Vick and Foles, a more traditional pocket passer, could run the same system, Kelly claimed he never said they could.

"I didn't say that," Kelly said. "I said that Nick Foles has a skill set that it's our job, if he's our quarterback, to put him in position to make plays, and the same with Michael Vick."

So the Eagles are indeed going to have to make a decision at some point whether they're going to have to run the kind of offense Kelly installed at Oregon or a more traditional approach with Foles.

"You always do that, no matter who your quarterback is," Kelly said. "I don't think it's revamp the system. It's not like we're going to throw our offense out and put another guy. But obviously, one player throws certain routes better than another player. One person does another job in certain 'check-with-me's at the line of scrimmage.

"I don't think anybody runs the same exact play-call sheet with their first quarterback or second quarterback or whomever. You kind of adjust it to your personnel."

Meanwhile, Reid tried his best not to say Matt Cassel doesn't seem to have a future as the Chiefs' starting quarterback. But he didn't exactly make it seem that's the case.

"I had an opportunity to go through and look at our quarterbacks. I think (former general manager) Scott Pioli really did a good job of bringing guys in and giving us an opportunity to win games with some of the guys that are there," Reid said, but then added: "We're going to go through the whole process of looking at the college kids who are here, free agency and any trade possibilities that come up."

Reid would love for Foles to come up as a trade possibility. But again, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

At least not yet.

I see Chris Mortenson is making the (somewhat faulty) assumption that Andy Reid "drafted" Nick Foles.

Howie Roseman drafted Nick Foles and Howie Roseman is still in Philadelphia.

Sure it's a guess, but an educated one that any QBs acquired by the Eagles (and here to) was and is Reid's choice. Yes, I'm willing to bet every QB acquired while Reid was in Philly, was who he wanted.
