The dude has been a career BACKUP, was on the verge of retiring, has numbers similar or lower than some of the worst QBs in the league, has never played a full season as a starter, and history proves FA QBs rarely workout. You should be a little more open minded and acknowledge there is plenty to draw concern from. I think you're also being disingenuous if you believe our offensive roster is anywhere near the one he had in Phili that gave him successes.  It's good to be excited for change but throwsome realism in there.

I agree, a signing and commitment this big carries plenty of risk. But any acquisition would have carried some risk and drafting a rookie is generally the biggest risk of all.  I like the signing, I think Foles has developed into a good QB after some shaky performances early on. We'll know if it's panning out soon enough.
