You move up and get them.  You can't move up and get them if you've already blown a lot on Foles.  You can't go for a short-term fix on an average quarterback.

As I said, all I can do is root for the team.  But I don't expect this to end well.  I guess we'll all find out.

I don't like the move.  And I seriously can't see how anyone thinks he is one of the best in the NFL.

You're right.  It's not that complicated.  If you think he's one of the best in the NFL, you're going to keep him.  Just because you have someone 'penciled in as the franchise QB' you don't get rid of someone who is one of the best in the NFL.  If you do, you're not going to be around for long.

I think the Eagles value Foles as a top 15 QB in the NFL.  They have Wentz probably valued higher...(Probably top 10)..and Wentz is younger.  That still doesn't mean Foles isn't at least a top 15 QB...which he should be just about anywhere he lands.  

I'd like to see Foles have continued success wherever he goes.  Could his naysayers be right?  They could be...but I doubt it.  He's shown enough improvement over the past several seasons in Philadelphia to warrant a starting position in the NFL, imo.
