Good, Foles will leave and Wentz will get hurt again.
If you want completion why would you get Foles?
Anyone against getting competition behind Prescott shouldn't be discussing this.
We should be wanting to get the best we can out of Prescott - having two scrubs behind him does nothing for job security.
What if we could get him?
Perhaps a pipe dream.
Two things stand in the way. Eagles would not trade the QB to another NFC east team.
And the Eagles can still put the franchise tag on him.
But blimey!
I still wonder if pipe dreams could happen.
Hollah
...because he's legitimate competition? Pretending Foles is on the level of some bum player is ridiculous. Foles can win you games, clearly. Foles has started in this league. He helped win a Super Bowl. His resume is there, and he's not THAT old.
Who would you bring in for competition? Go ahead, rattle off that list of QBs.
You're against Foles because he was with the Eagles and you're a homer. I really don't give two craps about that - if Prescott is going to be here "long term", I want to see how he handles having someone behind him that can challenge him. That red head scrub and some small school dude is not going to do that for Prescott.
What are they going to do when Nate Sudfeld goes on an improbable run and puts them in the playoffs?Good, Foles will leave and Wentz will get hurt again.
You don’t waste resources on completion. You have holes in your starting lineup.
You don't spend the kind of money it would take to sign Foles for training camp competition, you spend that money to have a definitive starter.

lol, that's not a bad option either lukinI want this scenario, he goes to the pats as a backup, Brady gets hurts, Foles beats the Eagles in the SB...
Stating that depth isn't needed is why we haven't won a Super Bowl in years. With depth comes competition.
Heck, just the simple fact that we don't have at least a decent backup to Prescott in case he gets injured is a big mistake.
Backup QB isn't a big issue unless we get in a big game and the backup has to come in and win it for us.
Having an awful season wouldn't be the worst thing for this franchise if Dak went down. The next couple of drafts will have some nice QB's that will be an upgrade over Prescott.
SSSSHHHHHThe Eagles are going to regret letting Foles go.
....kinda like the Eagles just a year ago.
They shouldn’t. He’s a bum with no upside. Wentz at least has that going for him.
I think Foles will get franchise QB money, which I mentioned in my post. However, I'm guessing the initial post is more about giving him backup QB money. If that was the case, I have no idea why anyone would be against this - just for injury security, it would be worth it.
