If Foles wins the SB

[Darthkuriboh]

The eagles, as a TEAM, is extremely stacked, so what does being in the superbowl have anything to do with it? Case Keenum is better than Matt Stafford because he was in the Conference championship this year and Matt wasn't? Mark Sanchez better than Romo because he went to a conference championship and Romo hasn't been out of the 2nd round? If Dak was over there in Philly, he'd be in the superbowl too.

Don't agree. Foles can throw accurate passes more than 10 yards out.

Absolutely

Don't agree. Foles can throw accurate passes more than 10 yards out.

And even with that, his career completion % is 60%. If Dak needs to be more accurate, so does Foles.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

But looked like a clueless rookie vs the Raiders a few weeks ago. You never know what you are going to get out of Foles. He either plays like an elite QB or a rookie every week he plays.

In a one to one matchup with Brady I think I'll go with Brady.

This was an interesting thread that was started June 2, 2016 talking about Foles coming to the Cowboys as a possible backup. The thread includes this interesting comment.

Foles would bring us to the superbowl before Tony...Bring him in asap.

If he gets more accurate he'll be a starter somewhere for sure. Like I said, he can throw all 3 teirs, and if he can hit an average of 65% completion percentage, he'll be a beast

... maybe Wentz was overrated then

 

[CowboyChris]

Carson Wentz is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

You get rid of Foles.

So you get rid of the QB that delivered....your first ever SB? just like that huh? and what if it doesn't work out with Wentz? There is no guarantees Wentz gets you back to a SB and let alone wins it.

 

[cald0d30s0]

... maybe Wentz was overrated then

I think he is good, but not that good (For an MVP case). Since the beginning of the season I thought that the Eagles as a team were very talented with all the new additions (FA) at WR and RB, when Wentz went down I knew that any other "ok" QB could make the team look as good as Wentz did.

I know its kind of stupid comparing this season with last season (because he was a rookie) but remember that many Eagles fans (and sports media) complained that Wentz had nobody to throw to? I really think that could be Dak's case too.

Maybe the Boys should consider a trade for Foles, say a 2019 high draft pick and Zack Martin should do it. Here Dak could go to a position he should have... the bench, where he can learn his craft instead of being rushed into failure.

 

[ghostdog]

You mean throwing the ball to wide open WRs all day? Did you even watch Dak last year? He played just as well as Rodgers in the playoffs. He didn't have a defense to lean on. Our OL weakened big time this year. We have a terrible defense. And our coaches have no idea how to adjust. Our offensive scheme is atrocious.

Did you not know that the three game skid you guys had last year saw the worse QB play in the HISTORY of your franchise? Name the worse QBs in your history and Dak was worse than them during that span of games. Carter, Hutchinson, Weeden, even Ryan Freakin' Leaf never played a worse three games than him. Dak managed to play worse than all of them. It was a pathetic display of QBing. And don't let the fact that every team in the league passed him over three timeat least and some passed him over four, dissuade you from your currant line of thought. And right now most feel justified in doing so. But guess what? . Dak is the bomb.....lol

Well we don’t have to watch now lol

Nick Foles already has more experience and success than a lot of the starters right now and a lot cheaper . Kirk Cousins is looking for 30 million a year and has a losing record .

but but they lost a couple starters for a few games , no one can be expected to be Superbowl bound with missing a LT , LB , RB . Next you will tell me a team could win a game without kicker.

What do the Eagles do at QB?

Not only has Foles taken a team to the SB under rather difficult circumstances, but the Egals could fetch some draft picks and/or players in an offseason deal with a team looking for a winning veteran QB.

That team would most likely give Foles a raise and a multi-year contract. And to think he wanted to retire before Roseman talked him out of it. Saquon Barkley wanted badly by the Browns. I'm sure they'll be interested in Foles as well. Get ready Browns fans, your Browns may just win a game or two next season.

 

[CPanther95]

If the Eagles manage to trade Foles a 2nd time, it's likely that trading Foles 2 times will completely cover the cost of getting Wentz.

Right now, the picks they spent for Wentz and the Foles>Bradford trade subtracting the picks they received in those trades and trading Bradford away nets the following:

Eagles are up: a 5th
Eagles are down: two 2nds and a 3rd.

If they win the SB, the 2nd rounder they traded away in 2018 is extremely devalued. Trading Foles for a high 2nd and high 3rd rounder would probably be enough to completely offset the Wentz trade. They'll have got Wentz for just their 1st round pick and trading Foles twice.

even tom brady would fail in garrett's 90's scheme. we have the talent to win. what we lack are good coaches. and our gm is among the leagues worst.

I agree with all of your points until your last sentence. Weintz would have been MVP because he is capable of the big plays with his ARM not just his legs. People can rip Foles but he does have big play capability with his ARM not just his legs. Prescott doesn't possess this unless he has all day to throw the ball, one of the best running backs in the NFL, better wideouts than people credit and a hall of fame tight end, even then he just throws to the open player not throwing it in stride to a guy who wasn't initially open.

A healthy Romo would have taken us to the Superbowl this season and that's what hurts the Prescott fans so much as they know it's true as the latter couldn't get it done with a pretty stacked team yet will just deflect it by saying Romo wouldn't have survived a hit. How did Peyton Manning get on after breaking his neck...last I saw he reached two Superbowls, winning one of them...

The Eagles win on Sunday. Better get used to it guys and gals sadly.

I think the Eagles deserve to win the Superbowl this season. I am objective enough to admit that and fair play to them. Firstly, they played great all season and to beat a resurgent Falcons side and then the Vikings who were the top ranked defense in the league was impressive given how many injuries they had including to their franchise QB. Huge kudos to Pederson, I think the guy is fantastic. It won't be popular on here but credit where it's due to the Eagles.
