Foles is good  
Essex : 1/13/2019 8:22 pm : link
the issue is and i have been consistent, I really don’t think he should be paid the money the Giants would need to get him. He is 30, definitely not elite, and I just think we should go to the draft. But I don’t get why some on here just bury him so much. He is above/average QB.

I think that’s a pretty accurate characterization of Foles. Average, he can be good he can be bad. He is good at what the eagles ask him to do at times. This season he wasn’t very good at the start (which led the eagles to rushing Wentz back) and wasn’t very good in the playoffs. He had a nice run when Wentz went down again before the playoffs. I think over the course of a 16 games season (which he hasn’t had to do), he’s probably in the 18-22 qb rank range.

Even though they lost a lot of talent to injury, thank god they lost today. I think Peterson is a good coach


Really? If Shurmur called that game we'd be killing him. They only ran the ball 16 times all game and only 3 in the 2nd half!

They made no adjustments after they went up 14-0 and the Saints just started teeing off because Pederson got away from running the ball.

I think a good coach does something after scoring two TDs on the first two drives. He can't get shutout the rest or the way. At worst he has to have some ball control and eat clock if he doesn't score and they didn't even do that.

He's a SB winning coach so he gets credit for that but I've seen enough of him to question how good is he?

I'll like him even more in the AFC.



I literally hope he exact opposite, I hope the eagles commit to him over Wentz. He was fairly average- at best- in the playoffs, 466 yds 3tds 4ints. He lives off of throwing (read, lofting) the ball into open space off his back for and having his big receivers come down with it.


They're not committing to Foles over Wentz. Wentz's ceiling is far higher than Foles even with his injury concerns

Could not agree more.

I've been pointing out that Foles floats the ball way too much to play at this level - and be consistent.

Kudos to New Orleans for changing it up and going man-to-man and force Foles to make throws..........

In 07 and in the process forget all the big plays he made on the way to and after Tyree s miracle catch.

Now we have Giants fans saying same thing about Foles.

Come back to me when he wins 2nd one to prove the first one wasn't a fluke.
The only way they would commit to Foles over Wentz long term  
dpinzow : 1/13/2019 8:41 pm : link
is if there is something in Wentz's medicals this year (that back injury he suffered) that is degenerative

I'll one up ya.

Come back to me when he QBs a team for a FULL season, then leads them to the Super Bowl.

Eli's done that twice.

Foles in all probability won't sniff that.
One thing about Foles that is undeniable  
Essex : 1/13/2019 9:00 pm : link
he utilizes Jeffery’s talents significantly better than Wentz. I don’t know why that is, but it’s pretty obvious.

On another note, Kelce said after the game that he is thinking of retiring. Said he had thought about it for 2-3 years and is considering it this offseason. Peters can’t really finish a game anymore, and Brooks tore his Achilles but I am sure he will be ok by September. That OL which is the anchor of that team is a big question mark going into the off season.

Here's his in-game concession. Really happy to welcome EDP back to BBI -- it feels like order has been restored to the universe.
EDP in progress - ( New Window )
Well as a coda to this thread  
dpinzow : 1/13/2019 9:13 pm : link
thank goodness the Saints won because I didn't trust the Rams at all to beat the eagles if Philly somehow got by New Orleans
The Saints almost got FOLED tonight

The Eagles seemed determined to score and run down the clock. Hopefully the ball went right through Jeffrey hands.
Luckily*

Has Foles even ever started a full 16 games? So I guess I would say come back to me when Foles starts a full 16 games in this league, forget leading a team to a super bowl after a full season.
Kelce retiring......

Nope - 11 is the closest he got and that was the year he spent in StL. He was terrible.
