Tried to find TMD losing his mind but he hasn't tweeted since September

I found that curious, too.

Those against it, obviously believe he's grossly overpaid.
Those in favor of it, can play the every popular it's not your money card.

We must keep in mind...

1.  FA is always a gamble, and you always overpay - especially at QB.  Some of the numbers for other players at lesser positions were outrageous.  Also notable that the playoff teams have made zero moves/signings.  So yes, the takeaway from this is that while completely expected and they got their guy, we paid more than even the higher end expectations.  He just needs to be a LOT better than Dave's last "guy."
2.  We should have expected for them to go after the top QB FA when they made next to zero changes to the organization.  That signaled "win NOW" and that simply drafting a QB wasn't going to be enough.  Drafting a QB is still highly possible, yet not likely with the first overall.
3.  Picks are intact, they should have a fruitful draft to build around Foles.  They're going to need to - he's at his best when clean and targets to choose from.
4.  I thought we'd go TE then OT, but am now convinced the opposite given the money they paid for Foles.  Unless they trade out for more picks, we can almost lock our first pick for OT.
