to be expected, i suspose
article could contain the secret to neverending life and nobody would give a shit because they want to draft Geno Smith. just ignore the fact that it's interesting, fun and pretty much says draft Geno and trade for Foles. *sigh*

Nick Foles is better than Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden and Brock Assweiler. He played for a shitty school with a shitty coach and still looked good.
Top 5 passer in college last year with 3 amazing QB's and led Arizona to a top 10 team in passing most of the school year with only the Criner WR who is now a Raider. |

It actually was an entertaining read and the guy made a pretty nice case for Foles, i WILL say that.
But as you're well aware, this fanbase is ready for OUR guy, not the other guy... besides that the author is taking a huge leap to assume the guy is on the trade block. Not trying to slam the idea just to be a jackoff, but i'm one of those who wants a "KC born and bred" player, not the guy the iggles may or may not be ready to cast off. |

My initial gut reaction was a big "Oh, HELL no!"
But as I consider... Foles is a totally different scenario than Cassel, or Bono, or Grbac, or Deberg, or anyone else The Chiefs have traded for/signed over the last twenty or so years. Foles was Reid's QBOTF. He was not drafted to be a backup, he was drafted to be the starter-probably in 2014, but that was the idea. IF Reid wanted to do this, I would cut them slack and get behind it. This would be more like an acquiring of Brett Favre from the Falcons and less like an acquiring Matt Cassel. I'd give a 2nd for him, as i think he's shown a little at the NFL level and thus would place him above the Glennon/Nassib types in this year's draft. I still would personally place him behind the Geno/Wilson level, though. But honestly, not by much. I might consider swapping firsts-and taking whichever is left from the Geno/Wilson/Barkley group with the Eagles #1. Take it to camp and let'em fight it out. |

I also believe 'the guy' means for us to trade for Foles and draft OUR guy.

Len Dawson was not a "KC born and bred" QB, and he is in the HOF and has a SB ring with the Chiefs. |

I don't understand why people think that trading for Josh Freeman or Nick Foles is such a terrible idea?
If Reid thinks it's best, what's the problem? |

But while I'd like to see us draft a qb in the first, at this point I think it's looking unlikely. So Foles would be my second option. I wanted the Chiefs to draft him last year. |
