Rock paper scissors? I feel for you, man. Anyway, I love Blake as much as the next guy (well, there are some on here ...) but as Oehser keeps saying - sometimes it's just time to move on. For me Bortles felt as if he was always a step short of being a real NFL QB. Foles feels different. I have hope again! There are so many variables to team sports that no one knows how this will play out - although there are some on here that will tell you they know. I'm looking forward to September.

Most of the idiots here against the Foles pick up, wanted the Jags to give up 3 first round draft picks to move up in the draft and go after unproven rookies. THEN, they would be happy. Thank God they don't run anything.

I guess this will rumble on til September when we play for real when people will be proved right or wrong. We don't need a QB that has to do it all like Rodgers, we need a QB who limits turnovers, keeps drives going, can move us into scoring positions. We have a solid run game to lean on and a top level D that will hold teams to 17. But we also need a QB that we can give the ball to when those aren't working and Bortles proved time and again he couldn't, I think Foles can give us a better shot.
Of course he's not the best QB in the league but he fits the system and style of O we want to run, that is more important. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

So we have an out after the 2nd year owing just the remaining signing bonus which would amount to a 12.5 million dead cap hit. Not a bad contract at all.

I give Philly fans credit when Wentz went down they got behind Foles and won the Superbowl. You didn't.. Some people are just a little sensitive about Foles.

I know it's just talk, but FWIW I liked what I heard out of him in the press conference today.
When the Bears signed Glennon to a 15 million dollar contract, they still went out and drafted a QB number 3 overall.
I still wouldn’t rule out drafting a QB in round 1. And a WR in round 2 and trading back up for a TE. Then fill holes after that. This is a great insurance move and gets us away from BBINT. Fournette will need to lead the league in rushing and our defense has to wreck games like in 2017 for us to win a title. Hey folks, we’re all in for the first time in a long time, much like 1999. We know we’re good and we will get better after the draft. Foles is pretty much on a 1 year deal and we will be drafting a QB in round 1.

I don't know how anyone could say Foles is here on a 1 year deal. This isn't a Bortles contract with basically a team option after year 1. Foles will be here through the end of 2020 or longer if he plays well enough. I don't think QBs can be drafted high and sit for more than a year anymore. Front offices rarely have that kind of patience because owners don't generally have that kind of patience with front offices.
Will be interesting to see what the team does if Haskins is available at #7. I don't think they expect him to be--I certainly don't...but what if he is? Do they drop whatever player they were targeting (like Hockensen), and go get Haskins?
I personally think Haskins will be a Giant--unless some other team trades up ahead of them to grab him. |
