It shows that Foles is no where near Wentz' level, which is underlined by the fact that the eagles have chosen Wentz over Foles at every possible opportunity, including after Foles' SB win.

Foles is not a top 10 QB, he is more at the 15th range. Being the only team seriously bidding for him (according to Schefter) and the only one being able to offer him the nr 1 QB Spot with literally no competition, we massively overpaid for his services, and according to reports the jags didnt even try to get him for less, bcs they didnt want to insult him. That is ridiculous and shows how little the people working for the franchise think of their own team.

Dude.... I can't even. He got 15th ranked QB money so sounds like we're right on, what planet have you been living on ? Nfl QBs get PAID now. Yeah man let's go by some made up stat that's all about the defenses he played and not his career RATING stats which are very good for every coach except Fischer. I GUARANTEE you that I can find similar bull stats showing how he's "better" than some of those QBs as well.

Also, Foles led the Eagles through the playoffs and won a SB and last season he took a 6-7 Eagles, struggling with Wentz in a 3 win streak to get in the playoffs and take them to the Division round. You can use stats to prove anything but you also have to use your eyes. That team responded to Foles and he was the guy making some of those big plays, thats what we want.

Of course he's not the best QB in the league but he's an improvement for us. We have an OC he knows and a system he knows straight away. I get shy people are nervous but this could also be a really solid move that gives us a real shot next season.
