Why? This is a message board, we get paid to talk about stuff like this.

And whatnot...

But we'll know so much more in two or three years when he actually exists

Yeah, I have to agree. Should we start a thread?

At least he has no problem getting the ball down the field...

In Foles last four games he completed 61.4 percent of his passes for 1,157 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.

That's not too bad.

Foles was third string through most of training camp (moved to 2nd string after playing well in the preseason games) so it would make sense that he would improve quite a bit with some actual playing time.

Much has been made of his W/L record as a starter last year in Philadelphia. The Eagles had 4th quarter leads against Carolina and Dallas, were tied with Dallas in their other game and came within five yards of tying the Redskins to end their second game. Simply looking at the final score doesn't give you the whole story and context of what happened.

But I read right here on CP that all of Foles stats came in blowout losses.

If the Chiefs were able to get Foles and a 2nd for swapping 1sts with the Eagles, who do you take at #4? Patterson? The best remaining QB?

Foles has a responsibility to win in spite of his horrendous defense.

At least that's what we've been told when it comes to Geno Smith.

Or are we just going to throw out all pretenses of objectivity and fairness?

Don't lump me in with those folks. I'm all in with drafting Geno.

However, I was a big fan of Foles and pushed for him last year, so I am still good with that option. If the Chiefs aren't going to take Geno, that's my next favorite option.

I know, I was just messing with you.

The one thing I like about all those GIFs is you can see how strong his arm is. This is a 60-65 yard throw when you account for angle, and his feet are all messed up.



That's about all I like about Nicky Fools. He's tall and has a big arm.

[BigCatDaddy]

Holy shit! By the time the draft rolls around the TrueFans are going to have converted 1/2 the Genoites.

The similarity to the cassel situation is that if we give up a 2 or even our third this year for foles, he's the guy. He's your starter

What I feel won't be similar is that this regime won't stop at Foles and say QB position fixed, we're done there. My opinion, but really don't think they would pull a SP.

[Skyy God]

If we pass on Geno or another QB at 1.1, Foles for a 3rd is the best meh option available. And the new CBA prohibits giving him a new contract, so it's not completely analogous to Pi0li's acquisition of Casshole.
