Yeah, you have to take these with a grain of salt...
I found this one which states he has a low football IQ...and then found another that said he had a high football IQ. Just wanted to stir the pot a bit.... |
Not in the first round. maybe in the second or third.
I like Tannehill alot better in the second if he was there. If we are going qb in the first, especially early, it's Luck, Barkley, or RGIII. |

That is why I bumped this thread and said perhaps it's time to look at QBs in later rounds... |
This franchise is in a bad state right now with all thats going on. They need a face to associate with the Chiefs. Why not make a big splash and trade to the top.
Bring in a new coach and pair him with Luck to be the guy for the next decade. |
I was watching ESPN3 and saw McShay, the smartest man in the world when it comes to the draft, say he thought Foles was a top 40 pick.
The only QB he said that had hurt their draft stock this year was Cassel from Oklahoma. |

If we had the chance to get him you do it. Show the league you are serious about building a contender here in KC by doing it the right way. Get the qb to go with this young talent that has the best chance of success. |

Hear me out tho. Pioli has gotten immense pressure put on himself now. His shield is gone, when Haley went out hte door. Everyone knows this is on him. I also think and really hope Hunt has put the screws to Pioli. What better way to make a statement. |

I'd consider him if the top 3 are all gone. He's gonna be a development though. I really just want RG3 and let him come here and do his thang

3rd round - hell yes.
2nd round - probably 1st round - lord no, I'd take a RT first. He has some talent, but I do not understand the fascination with the guy. For a huge dude with a 'cannon' arm, he sure spends a lot of time dinkin' and dunkin'. Sometimes quite poorly, I might add. I see a lot of Cassel in the boy, that's all. |

You're aware that the "I'd take a RT first" was an indictment on how little I like the idea of Foles in the first, not an endorsement of taking a tackle with the first round pick, right? Do you really think we should take a QB, regardless of who's there? You'd honestly advocate taking Nick !@#$ing Foles at 10 because Luck, Barkley, Griffen and probably Jones went off the board already? I desperately want a quarterback, but there's no way in hell I'm going to take some guy like Foles a round+ too early just for the sake of drafting one. Some of you folks need to use your brains here - just like voting for Obama just for the sake of 'change' was stupid; voting for Foles as a first round QB just for the sake of a first round QB is also stupid. Draft a QB in the first because there's a first round QB available; not just for the sake of doing it. Nick Foles isn't a first round quarterback. |

Last year, before Foles got hurt, Arizona was highly ranked and Foles was putting up a ton of yards. Even this year, on a crap team, he put up 4300 yards at almost 400 yards a game (380). |

How would you feel about trading up to get Luck? |

You want to bring up his numbers but want to ignore that he was the #2 QB in passing attempts. |
Quote:
They had no running game so he had to throw it more. Doesn't that mean his stats should have been better? |
Quote:
None of us know where he's going to get picked. Well, except you I guess. |
I began the year as a big fan of Foles and a reason was that he had done quite well develping as a passer.
He looks off safeties well, doesnt make mistakes that hurt his team often and is a good leader with a lot of upside. His arm can make every throw with zip and he is fairly accurate. I was hoping to see him as a guy that put his team on his back this year and lead them to big wins. That really didnt happen. Not saying it was his fault, but I didnt see him take that next step I kind of expected of him. He could be a really good pro and I would take him in the second round, but not in the first. Flacco is a somewhat fair comparison, but I think Foles upside is higher. Im not sure there really is a better comparison, though. |

(Though for the record, Jim Druckenmiller seems like an extremely fair historical comparison for Nick Foles) |
Quote:
That's cool - we'll go ahead and mark you down as believing Nick Foles is worthy of a top 10 draft pick and as a bit of a mindless ideologue. God help us if Foles is gone before us as well. You'll be out here screaming that we should take Tannehill. |
Quote:
Foles is an interesting prospect in a sense that he looked great last year, and because his team sucked nobody saw him this year. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out for him. Dumbass. |
Quote:
So you went off half-cocked for no good reason and started spouting random bullshit about me being a Peterson acolyte when I suggested that I think your boyfriend is a 2nd round pick rather than a top 10 overall talent, eh? Yeah - I'm the dumbass. |
Quote:
I don't think he will end up starting day 1 but I think he could develop into a Matt Ryan type of QB with some decent coaching. |
Its going to be a little harder to predict where these type of QBs go I think. When you have a league showing more and more that you NEED a great QB on top of a slotted wage scale, its a perfect storm for teams, even those with QBs, to reach and get the QBs they like. Not as much punishment and so much upside.

Sporting News' @RussLande suggests Nick Foles of #Arizona could emerge as 3rd QB drafted with big Senior Bowl week. http://rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7475/nick-foles Sporting News' Russ Lande suggests Arizona QB Nick Foles could emerge as the third quarterback drafted with a big Senior Bowl week. Per Lande, NFL opinions are "split" on Foles due to concerns with his accuracy and decision making. Foles is expected to measure every bit of 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds at Monday's weigh-in. Lande anticipates Foles being selected no later than round three, and potentially entering the first with a strong showing in Mobile. Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin will likely be the first two QBs taken. |
Speaking of reality...
|
"Many NFL scouts" reportedly believe Michigan State QB Kirk Cousins could be in store for a quick rise up draft boards, in the same vein as what Andy Dalton did last year.
The media consensus in Mobile was that Cousins was the Senior Bowl's second best quarterback, behind Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden. There was a large gap behind those two. Per Sporting News' Russ Lande, Cousins "displayed very good arm strength to make every NFL throw with excellent zip." Cousins' decision making and stature (6'2/209) have been criticized a bit, but Dalton was the 35th overall pick last year after weighing in at 6'2/213. Doesn't say much as far as Foles being the 3rd QB taken. Sounds more like 1) Luck 2) RG3 3) Tannehill 4) Weeden 5) Cousins 6) ... |
Hes not bad
|
Bump.
|
Who has a stronger arm....
Foles or Tannehill? |

It's Foles or bust! Maybe in the 4th, it's the Chiefs way!

So could Foles beat out Cassel?
He is kind of the next realistic option on my QB list.... |

NFL scouts were reportedly unimpressed by Arizona QB Nick Foles at the Wildcats' Tuesday Pro Day.
"[Foles] was terrible. He couldn't throw a spiral," said one source. "Obviously, the weather conditions played a part in that but in reality, it only accentuated that he couldn't throw a spiral." The Arizona Pro Day was held indoors on a carpet, which may have affected the former Wildcats. However, WR Juron Criner earned positive buzz for a 4.52 forty, up from his 4.68 at the Combine. Both Arizona alums project as early third-day draft picks. Mar 20 - 7:50 PM http://rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7475/nick-foles |
Lots of red flags on the kid.
It's a shame he hasn't grasped this last years opportunity. He could have made himself millions of dollars. |
I knew it all along. :p
|
Nick Foles was on a shitty team and had 2 350 yard passing games and a higher completion % as a rookie than Matt Cassel did at any point in Kansas City.
|
Good for him he can continue to do whatever entertaining guidos.
|
Bump before I reread
