Nick Foles Released **merged**

[Denim Chicken]

People looking for an all-pro for back-up QB?

Foles has valuable staring experience and has actually won games--which is more than any back-up QB on our roster can attest to.

Yeah, he was really bad last year, but look who he was playing for. With a great run game, O-LINE, and good receivers I think he could get the job done. I would trust him more than Moore.

When has Bradford proved anything other than he's injury prone, at least Foles has a proven track record with Philly

Foles' track record is one bizarrely great year, followed by a not good year and then a terrible year in St. Louis. His skill set is middling at best. He won't ever sniff what he did in 2013, which was a fluke year because Kelly's system had NFL DCs baffled.

Bradford is an injury prone bust (relative to his #1 status) but if I needed a backup for Romo, I'd take my chances on him before Foles who right now is worse QB than Bradford.

His measure of success came in a season when the league had no idea how to defend Chip Kelly's offense. Once they started to figure it out, Foles regressed mightily. He started making dumb decisions, throwing off his back foot a lot, etc. He has a rag arm, no mobility and isn't that accurate a passer. Other than that, he's pretty good.

Not true...

He played well enough his 2nd season but injuries took their toll on him, ironically enough his collarbone. And it didn't help much having Crazy Chip get rid of DeSean Jackson...

 

[CATCH17]

I would get him.

Why?

Because he is better than what we got.

Some good games by Foles last year against tough defenses:

Win vs Seattle
18/27; 297 yards; 1 TD; 115.8

Win vs Arizona
16/24; 171 yards; 3 TD; 126.9

He had an 81 rating in his 2nd year in Kelly's system. Hardly playing well. And he really only played "well" in the two of the 8 games he played - the Skins game in Sept and the Houston game, which was his last and he got hurt.

In the other 6 games, he ranged from average to poor.

And the other games he was downright dreadful. Really kind of bizarre when you look at it. Played well against Seattle and Arizona and then dropped a 53 rating against Cincy, a 23.7 (yes, you read that right) against GB, and a 49 against Arizona the 2nd time.

Bring him in if he's cheap. But when he sucks, don't be shocked.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

I'm not the biggest foles supporter nor fan but some of you guys evaluation of Moore is hilarious. anyone who thinks Foles = Moore is absolutely fooling themselves.

If you're argument is to have them battle it out for QB #2 that is perfectly fine. But to say that foles is not an upgrade over Moore with his so-so track record and clear starting experience (and games won) needs to stop sharing pipes with Randy Gregory.

I think it show he is still capable. He was on bad teams. With our running game, o-line, and receivers I think he would be a decent back-up. Probably gonna cost at least $2M per, though.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Go get him Jerry.

well, that great year is one more than Bradford ever had and if it was the so-called Kelly's baffling system, you still have to hit receivers in stride and read defenses......why did the Eagles trade for Bradford, wasn't he suppose to be the best Qb for Kelly's baffling system, which didn't seem to work out so well!!

Foles would be a better fit in this run first offense than the spares that are on the roster now after Romo....Moore isn't leading this team anywhere with his pop gun arm

 

[cowboys1985]

Buyer beware....

Remember Matt Cassel had Pro Bowl success in KC at one point in time and that didn't translate. I'm all for taking a flyer on Foles to compete with Moore but it's a stretch to assume he's already better than Moore. Just like with Cassel I don't have big expectations for Foles.

It doesn't matter. It's competition for a backup spot where we are relying on Kellen Moore and a fourth-round rookie.

There's no sense arguing whether he's a middling player or a Pro Bowler when we don't have a sure answer at backup QB. Foles is on the market, so bring him in and see what he can do.

 

[BAZ]

Traded by the Eagles dumped by the Rams. If it was any other position he would be considered on the scrap heap. I don't think he's any better than the ***** they trotted out last season.

 

[DFWJC]

Sounds like Wentz won't be inactive afterall

 

[Idgit]

I'd take Bradford in a heartbeat over Foles. Wouldn't even think twice about it.

Me too. Foles just is not a very good QB.

 

[Bigdog]

He would be a good backup here and like everyone has said it is better than what we currently have. With that being said, if I was him, I would go to a team like the Jets where he has a chance to start given the situation both Fitzpatrick.

 

[Silverstar]

Bring him in...work him out...sign him cheap.

 

[Denim Chicken]

wut?

 

[Idgit]

I don't think he's better than what we have. But I agree it doesn't hurt to bring him in if we don't have to guarantee him a spot coming out of camp.
