Teams have already made their QB starter choices for 18 and it makes no sense from the Eagles perspective to trade him with Wentz uncertain for week 1. Exactly the price was so high for him because everyone needed a qb. They wanted a kings ransom. Now that the market is next to nil, with the qb situation being all but fleshed our and all the top qb needy teams being at the top of the draft the eagles will have to drop their price markedly. Not it sure why you’re fighting so hard against this logic. It’s sound. Like you I’d prefer to get our own but if we can’t get where we’d need to be I’d feel a heck of a lot more excited with Foles starting than AJ. Edited April 17, 2018 by Bobby Hooks

Nobody was going to part with a high pick AND pay market rate salary. If Foles isn't moved this season, he'll be a prime FA candidate next year. He's definitely worth the gamble of a 2nd round pick this year, especially if Bills miss out on the top 4. Edited April 17, 2018 by GG

The market will shift a number of times before he becomes a free agent. Lets hope Eagles treat him with some respect when the time. 59 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Cheap insurance for a team on a Super Bowl run.

Bring it Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 6 hours ago, LABillzFan said: I'm probably the minority here, but I'd rather take Foles than pretty much any QB in the draft. In fairness, I don't follow college ball but the most reliable thing everyone knows about these new QBs is that they really don't know jackpoopoo about how these QBs will do in the NFL. Meanwhile, you have a young guy in Foles who stood fearlessly on the NFL's biggest stage, got in a shoot-out Brady*, and still beat the Pats*. I understand he's not going anywhere this year until they know if Wentz can play, but damn this guy would look good in Buffalo. Not to mention, you don't have to give up the farm for him, leaving you with more picks to get more talent. Dreamin', I guess. I totally agree with you. We would need to get him some weapons not to mention an o-line.
Scorp83 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 4 hours ago, LABillzFan said: I have no idea if McDermott and team can bring the kind of offense and scheme that Pederson has. Without question, we're missing elements all over the place. But Foles and Shady need just a couple of decent receivers to get started quickly, AND you have the benefit of keeping many of your picks to address what has become a very suspect Oline. Lastly, the idea that Foles stinks makes no sense to me. He wasn't Trent Dilfer, for crying out loud. The dude made all the ridiculous throws through the playoffs and SB and never winced. Not to mention, it would be great to have a QB who knows what it's like to beat Brady.* Also, to be clear, I have no problem with the team drafting a QB. This past year for Foles was like that miracle year he had with Chip Kelly... so we can expect Foles to come back down to earth now that he surprised the league again. Teams will be ready for him. I'm so glad the Bills are not taking the bait on this guy. It's the offense... he made throws, but they were designed throws. It was more the offense then Foles 1

People can say that he didn’t do anything in St. Louis or Kansas City but if you look at what he did the first part of his career in Philly and then the postseason this past year, the guy is a stud in my opinion So basically your point is just to ignore the points that don't agree with your evaluation of him for no reason? At least give me the Jeff Fisher argument, come on man. Just now, #34fan said: But let's not pretend it's anywhere NEAR old for a QB... Brandon Weeden was damn near 29 when he got drafted! You don't build an argument for something by pointing to a dumb decision. That's not how logic works.

CLE may have thought his maturity would be an asset... Too bad he was simply short on talent. 1

Too bad he was simply short on talent. I always thought his age was a huge reason not to draft him. Same thing with Chris Weinke. However, I'm more of a proponent of youth. But that is true, his talent undid him right away, or lack there of, not solely his age.
