Now another journeyman in Foles is the Bills' fan flavor of the week. I was just about to say the same, last week it was all about how Keenum is the guy, gotta get him..... Now Foles will be the flavour of the offseason? 1

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 3 hours ago, jr1 said: he was 4-7 in 2015 DC Tom has his trademark. Maybe this should be mine - "Wins and losses are not a QB stat". The 2015 St Louis Rams were a hot mess. Schottenheimer fled to the college ranks after 2 years of expecting his QB to be Sam Bradford and winding up with Kellen Clemens, Austin Davis, and Shaun Hill. Fisher hired his QB coach to replace Schott. It wasn't a happy choice, and he was fired and replaced (with Boras, who is now coaching TE for us) mid- season. Fisher was coaching for his life with the Rams. Foles got brought into a chaotic situation with a new NFL OC who had a learning curve, didn't have a lot of talent around him at WR and TE. He didn't play well. He was benched for Case Keenum, who didn't do much better. Bottom line, I give Foles a mulligan on that year. In the games he played for KC, he did well, but KC felt they needed to try for an upgrade in the draft. It must have been sweet, sweet redemption for Foles to outplay Keenum, the QB for whom he was benched, so soundly today. 1 1

Now Foles will be the flavour of the offseason? No he won't. BECAUSE HE'S NOT A FREE AGENT. I noted that in my initial post. This isn't a "we should sign Nick Foles" thread. It's not a "Nick Foles may be more Rich Gannon than Jeff Hostetler" thread. It's a "why didn't we sign the at-least-as-good (probably better)-than-Tyrod guy" given that he came cheaper and he would clearly have been a better fit in the Dennison scheme. As for next year: there's a very good chance Wentz won't be ready to go at the start of the season, or certainly in the preseason. Foles isn't going anywhere. We missed our chance on that one. EDIT: By the way, who are Bills fans to disparage Jeff Hostetler? For those who think QB W-L record does mean something, he went 51-32 as a starter. I seem to remember him winning a Super Bowl, which may have been mostly a really good defense and a little luck, but then he went on to play reasonably well for the Giants, and better than reasonably well for the Raiders. Tyrod Taylor has a lot of work to do before people will be able to say "he was a Jeff Hostetler type." The way things have gone at QB for this franchise over the last couple decades, we should be thrilled to have the chance to get a Jeff Hostler of the New Millennium. There. Done.

B Fan in LA Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 How do the Eagles have Carson Wentz AND Nick Foles on their roster and a bunch of other studs at every position. and we have Tyrod Taylor and Nate Peterman and a bunch of stiffs at every position ???? Somebody put Doug Whaley on conference call please.......................

Now another journeyman in Foles is the Bills' fan flavor of the week. He has two 2000 yard half-seasons. No one is going ape but when the realistic names include Smith and Bradford, I’ll happily add the guy with a 7 TD game to the possibles list. 5 hours ago, Dr.Sack said: If Foles beats Brady in the Super Bowl do we offer up the farm for Wentz?

Aim higher.

So if he performs well, the top end is 38.5 million. And if he performs poorly, it is essentially voidable by the Eagles after 2 years. Tyrod: 2 years, $30.5 million. And he is obviously a better fit for the Dennison offense than Tyrod was. For those of you who'd say, "where we you when he was a free agent" - I was right here, suggesting that Foles was far and away the best "bridge" QB free agent out there .... Unfortunately nobody in the organization has a crystal ball. This is why we didn’t make a play for nick foles....

BringBackFergy Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I think this website is replete with posts where I was always a big fan of Nick Foles. I’ve always been in favor of signing him. In fact, I was the first TBD member to publicly call for his signing. I am brilliant.

I’ve been saying it since he was in college. Look at me 1

Magox Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 No matter how you slice it and dice it, the decision from the Eagles to bring back Foles was one of the best off season moves they made. He's been very good since taking over for Wentz and without him they most likely wouldn't go to the Super Bowl. Aside from his terrible stint with the Rams he's been pretty good and he has shown some flashes of being better than that. Another point that I think is important, I think this speaks very well of Doug Pederson and Frank Reich. Look at how successful their QB's have been. Wentz played at a probowl level and he goes out and then Foles steps in and plays at nearly the same level. Great job those guys have done with their offense.
