Cassel could have been a good backup five years ago. Kitna was the last decent backup this team has had in a long time. Files is getting bashed here by the same posters that supported Weeden. Fans might as well accept the fact that Foles can start on several teams in this league, but posters here thinks QBs like him are available all the time. Just look at the great QBs that Dallas had to choose from this last year. Foles looks like an All-Pro compared to the garbage that took snaps this last season. There was times during this last season that fans would have given anything to have Foles. Memories are short around here.
This thread and another one is going to make me sound like an Orton apologist but I'm really not...
Kyle Orton was a very good backup QB. Luckily, Romo stayed healthy enough that Orton never had to see the field and yes he lost his one start with us. But the Eagles were a better team and they were red hot going into that game, Romo is an underdog going into the game.
We were what...1-11 without Romo? I believe based on how Orton looked against the Eagles(not great but competent) and how he looked for the Bills, we would've won 5-6 games with Orton.
As for Foles? I guess we could do worse for a backup but if not for one insane stretch of games with the Eagles and their QB friendly offense, he may not even be in the league right now. But he could be an improvement over what we had last year though I think we can do better.
