Nick Foles is the real deal.  I would estimate that about 25-30% of the Eagles fan base would keep him over Wentz, given the choice.  And another 30% or so wouldn't be upset about it.  But there's the remaining 30% of fans  are Wentz fanatics and they scream louder than the rest...plus the Eagles front office has a ton invested in Wentz...that's the primary reason Wentz has been penciled in as the franchise QB in Philly.

That said, Nick Foles is a top 10 QB in the NFL. Don't let his regular season paper stats fool you, the guy is elite.  He's a selfless player who doesn't care about his individual stats.  His primary focus is being a leader and being a team player...and WINNING.  The guy is at his best in the most high pressure situations.  He's the definition of "clutch".

He's WON 7 must win games or the season is over...during the past 2 years.  Pretty sure no other QB in the NFL has done that over the past 2 seasons.  I think the next closest one is Brady with 5 "must win" wins.

He has among the best post season QB passer ratings in NFL history and is in the Hall of Fame twice....once for his 7 TD game and another time for his Super Bowl MVP performance.  

In terms of skills, he's extremely accurate, has a strong arm, can throw both laser/bullet passes or touch passes when needed.  His pre snap reads are elite level, he delivers the ball as fast as anyone in the NFL and has among the highest passer ratings in the NFL while being blitzed.  He's an elite pocket passer and he's a guy that you want holding the ball if your team is down late in the 4th quarter.  He really is that good.

As far as compensation goes, if the Eagles tag him at 25 million he'll probably negotiate an incentive bases contract wherever he goes.  He's a very humble guy and would want to make wherever he goes a good fit.  I could see him taking a 3-4 year deal for around 22-23 million per year plus incentives that could get him to 25+ million if the team makes the playoffs etc.  And who would complain about paying him 25 million if your team is winning in the playoffs? I wouldn't.

In terms of picks, the Eagles would get a 3rd round comp pick if he walks in free agency so I would think that would be the least compensation they would take.  And a 3rd round pick for Nick Foles is highway robbery for whoever gets him, imo.

Good luck!
