Nick Foles News
http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/2/2...-eagles-chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs still don't have a reliable starting quarterback for the 2013 season, a glaring issue that will assuredly be addressed in the coming months. One possibility for Andy Reid and his new team could be to bring in the quarterback he drafted last year out of Arizona, and as Chris Mortensen sees it, the Chiefs would have to give up at least a third-round pick to do so. For more on the Chiefs offseason, head over to Arrowhead Pride. Mortensen said on ESPN's "NFL 32" a third-rounder would probably be the going rate to acquire Foles. He seems to believe Kansas City is inclined to head to the bargaining table for the 24-year-old passer. Clearly the connection between Reid and Foles would be a starting point to these negotiations. He drafted Foles in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft, ultimately supplanting Michael Vick with the rookie quarterback later in the season. If the Chiefs find a way to bring in Foles, retain Dwayne Bowe and use their No. 1 pick in April for another valuable commodity like Luke Joeckel, we might actually see the beginning of a decent offensive display. Kansas City has plenty of work ahead this offseason. |

Rather take a gamble on Foles and draft a Qb mid round. We know what Alex smiths ceiling is...we don't know what Foles' is...

IF they were to get Smith for a 4th, he would probably be the backup. I don't see that happening though. I see him coming in here and starting. He'll win just enough for them to keep trotting him out there. 4 years from now, we'll be right back where we are today. |

Thats the thing, if they trade for Foles, they likely won't draft a Qb in this years draft.

Smith has stated that he wants to be traded to a team where he can start. He also will cost 8.5 mil, IIRC.

Another thing: Reid always had capable QB's and always had guys who were capable on the bench. That is a huge contrast between Pioli and the new guys. Its important we dont overlook this. |

2006 Garcia revived his career under Reid. 2009 Kolb had a career year. 2010 Vick was a league MVP candidate Its an important distinction to point out. Reid didn't draft some 6th round guy and get lucky. The guy knows QB's |

There is no other option. Draft a f'in QB. What did this fanbase do to deserve not even trying to upgrade the game's most important position the right way?

Although, his best QB came from early in the first round. |

Somebody posted it the other day. If you take Donovan McNabb out of the mix, Reid's QB track record is pretty pedestrian. Yeah, he's good at making mediocre guys look decent. But outside of McNabb, he really hasn't coached a GREAT QB. |

He comes in here next year and wins 9 games and it won't matter when those guys are ready. They're gonna sit. I have ZERO faith that anything in KC is EVER going to change until it actually does. |
