[slag]

Foles turns into a legit franchise QB, I'm going consider going to Taco Bell for the first time and sending a bag of the resulting shit to Jeff Lurie.

[McCarthy12]

I wouldn't rule either out at this point. I don't know that Foles is ever going to be a superstar, but I think he'll be a solid NFL qb. He's got the intangibles, too, that teammates respond to. Kind of reminds me of Chad Pennington.

[slag]

He has a better arm than Pennington ... which was what kept Pennington back.

[D Leff]

Kinda funny (or not) that we would be in better shape if Chipper would have just outright released Foles last year.

[McCarthy12]

Yeah, he had that bad shoulder. I always liked him though. More importantly, his teammates loved him. I think Foles had the respect of the players on the team. Look how Peters went absolutely apeshit in that Foreskins game last year. I'm not saying the team doesn't respect Bradford, but Foles earned it with his toughness.

I'm not so sure that the team respects Bradford. He's basically been stealing money his entire NFL career.

[McCarthy12]

Yeah, I think some player on another team straight out said that in the media. I don't know what to think about Bradford. You see what he can do when he has time but he wilts under pressure. Foles was always a little dicier with some throws but he was tough as shit and always kept you in the game regardless of how bad he was playing.

Foles had a huge throw yesterday where there was crazy pressure and he just stood there and got KILLED when he delivered the ball. Completion and big play for the Rams. I'm guilty of buying into the Bradford hype but that made me have serious remorse. Bradford probably would have gone to the ground.

[RSE]

Imagine we used to get pissed off because Foles would hang in there and not throw it away.

[McCarthy12]

I know. It's actually starting to make me sick to think that Kelly made that swap. My gut instinct when it happened was that it was a mistake and I allowed myself to buy in. Basically, the way I feel right now is that we traded an above average qb who is a winner for a high risk-high reward qb who is a loser. Yippee.

I like Foles, but this is just nostalgia. He was every bit as infuriating as Bradford has been.

Foles was playing just as bad, if not worse, in 2014. OL was comparable to what it is now.

They should REALLY respect him then. 3/4 of this team is stealing money, he was the last of the big money rookie QB contracts. It's like how everyone used to look up to Vick because they loved using him on Madden. Sam is a god to these guys. He stole money so egregiously, the league had to change their rules.

What did Foles win? He lost to a mediocre NO team in the playoffs. This team was a winning team for the latter half of 2013. That's why Foles was a winning QB. Their running game was curb stomping defenses.

Since 2014 started, this team has been average to downright shitty. They're not a good team. Foles got to ride the wave for half a season before injuries crept in and the rest of the league caught up to what Chip was doing.

[slag]

Disagree

Foles took the team down the field at the end of that NO game and put them in the lead ... only to watch Sproles bitch slap that shit coverage and then get horse collared by Sconces so the Saints only needed 15 yards to be in FG range.

EDITED TO ADD: Although I can't dispute that the league likely would have "caught up" if Kelly kept Foles and this shit OL.

Bradford left the Eagles with a lead. You kind of proved my point. If you're the type of shit team that the Eagles are right now, they're going to find a way to lose. I don't think either guy is the answer here, but this dogshit team will make everyone a loser.

[slag]

Please ... Bradford left them with a lead with 10 minutes to go not at the end of the game and then couldn't even run clock, much less score when he got the ball again.

And that's not the subject either.

The subject is Foles.
