I didn’t see this yet and put it here because always backup QB debate

The Chicago Bears have agreed to release quarterback Nick Foles, the team confirmed Saturday night.

The Bears originally acquired Foles two seasons ago in a trade with Jacksonville for a fourth-round draft pick.

After starting seven games in 2020, the Super Bowl LII MVP logged only one start last season. He carried a $10.67 million salary-cap hit in 2022.

Chicago general manager Ryan Poles confirmed in March that the team had been trying to trade Foles after adding veteran backup Trevor Siemian in free agency.

I would take him here for sure. My bet is he’s heading to Jacksonville.

Quality back up for Dak?

He's had such a strange career. I would take him in Dallas as a backup though.

Foles is a good backup. He just isn't a starter.He just got lucky during that SB run. I wish we could be that lucky one of these years.

This would be a smart backup QB signing. Also, it would sting the Eagles.

QB needy team releases QB, let's get 'im!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, just last year several posters wanted to get rid of Dak for Foles.

DogFace · May 1, 2022

If he came here it would be so much fun to hear the posters here call for him to start every week. Good times and would not get old ever.

Foles got lucky and played the Pats in the super bowl in one of the very few years where the Pats D stunk. (29th) It was also another example of how yards allowed by a D not only matters, it matters a ton. Foles drove the Eagles up and down the field like they were playing against burlap sacks. Pats were 5th in pts allowed, BTW. Problem w/ that is in the playoffs. Playoff teams are prone to scoring more.

Imagine the backlash had Jerry made a move like that.

needy? im betting they feel good about fields and then backups are dime dozen sure some better than others but if you lose your starter for the season typically over anyway, might as well tank for high draft picks that what this place loves they dont like 12-5 they rather have top 5 drfats ..

we won game with rush let that sink in..

foles asked to be let go, they allowed it. not a big deal but that said it means he wants to chose where he goes and im betting its location for his family more then anything..

I think it was a salary cap move.

Competition how??? Lol!!! Foles can't even win a starting job for more than a few weeks, so how's he going to compete with Dak who's listed as a top 10 STARTING qb in the league right now???

That's hilarious....

Didn't the Vikings, who he touched in the Championship game, have the number one defense that year?

FiveSuperBowls · May 1, 2022

Would be a smart signing to bring Foles in as the backup QB. Look, if Dak get's hurt. let's say for 2-3 games, Foles would be more than capable.
