But my question is why is he so popular there?

Of all the years of football in Philly, with all of the great players that have gone through that franchise, why have a statue of Foles?

Why did the coaches and front office love him?

In a city known for fans being absolutely brutal towards its athletes, how did Philadelphia grow to love Foles?

I'm not sure how I missed your post, but this was great stuff!

I couldn’t really tell you cause I’m not a fan of the eagles I actually hate them with a passion. But I’m assuming it’s because he was drafted by the team and when wentz went down that year they thought the promising season they thought was finally theirs was over but they got to the championship game and then he lit it up. And he it was just this fairytale story to their very starved franchise

I hate them too.  I hated them since I was 9. 

They did all of that for him because he performed his best when they needed him the most...when the stakes were the highest...and the reward for success were unmatched.

THAT is why he was worth all of that.

THAT is why the Jaguars took a chance on him.

It's NOT that difficult to understand, TBH.
