"Very limited in what he can do but very, very good in what he does. He's a pure pocket passer, and he's great at dishing it out, and he's proven that he's clutch ... he's proven that he can win the big games. That, I think, is what we have to look at, or the Eagles -- it's about winning, it's about being clutch, doing, really, what you expect your players to do. And he does it as well as anyone." If you actually watch the games this is what you see. Foles is a quick reader of the field. He will do well in a quick pass offense like the Pats run. He'd probably be better then he's shown in an RPO offense.
papazoid Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Unnamed Eagles begin to push back against Carson Wentz While he has been described as “incredibly hard working,” “determined,” and “highly intelligent,” Wentz also has been dubbed as, quoting from the story, “‘selfish,’ ‘uncompromising,’ ‘egotistical,’ one who plays ‘favorites’ and doesn’t like to be ‘questioned,’ one who needs to ‘practice what he preaches’ and fails ‘to take accountability.'” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/unnamed-eagles-begin-push-back-153413648.html

Mr. WEO Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Awww yeah!!! Get out ya popcorn! Eagles can't keep Foles and they are going to be stuck backing up the truck to pay this prima donna for years to come! This is great stuff....

BuffaloRebound Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 All signs point to Jax. They have an an extra 3rd rounder. Mr Personality needs to win next year. Philly isn’t gonna want Foles in NFC.

whatdrought Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 I like Nick Foles. I hope he doesn’t end up in the Duvall train wreck.

Denver could be a dark horse.

Wentz did the large majority of the QBing that season. When Foles QB'd that team went 2-1 before the playoffs, while under Wentz they went 11-2. And that 2-1 was against the 3-13 Giants, the 6-10 Raiders and a loss with zero points scored against the 9-7 Cowboys. Foles played decently and well in the playoffs, but he didn't get them that championship. He took the baton and ran pretty well the last few miles of the marathon. They had home field advantage throughout the playoffs and that was huge. Foles has been in a great situation, because each year he's come in late and teams don't have a ton of video on him. Over a whole season, Foles can be figured out. I hope you're right that Foles can be a franchise guy but you have to prove that over more than a few games a season.

Even more obvious ... you don't know what I watched this year, particularly from reading a post which said nothing about Wentz this year. Edited February 7, 2019 by Thurman#1

He’ll be 36 in the next training camp he can participate in and a whole year off might change his thoughts on re entering the grind. Could easily see him hang em up

Could easily see him hang em up Well that would need to happen soon, we are taking about FA that’s coming up next month. So yeah, I agree it could be something that happens, but for Washington to afford to spend big on a QB in FA this would all have to be known and happen in the next 30 days. And so far there is no signs or indication Alex Smith is about to retire. They aren’t even sure he will have to miss the 2019 season yet. His season is in jeopardy, but it’s not for sure he will all of it, part of it, or none of it.

Philly isn’t gonna want Foles in NFC. What if they're not all that concerned with Foles thriving in Washington and the Skins offer the best deal? Remember when the Pats had no concern about trading Bledsoe to a certain AFCE squad? I'm of the opinion that Foles could very well fail outside of that particular system. Perhaps the Eagles feel the same.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Foles was quick to void his 2019 option year with the Philadelphia Eagles and is wasting no time ponying up $2 million as part of that buyout. According to a source, the payment was being taken care of Wednesday, one day after Foles opted out. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25937919/nick-foles-makes-2-million-buyout-philadelphia-eagles

Perhaps the Eagles feel the same. He already has. People like to blame Fisher for Foles woes. But that is an overly simplistic notion
