I called everyone in the world this afternoon. I only got a few answers because who the farg actually talks on the phone in this day and age, but the answers I got were all along the lines of "yeah, I thought it was a dumb pick at the time."

Everybody was down on him from the start. It was a dumb move to take a quarterback with that pick. It seems to be working okay now, but it didn't help Andy keep his job.

exactly...it has nothing to do with foles....it was a stupid and unecessary pick at the time

That's only fair, since people seem to be pretty willing to do it to him over Foles. Saying he's slow, doesn't have a strong arm, and maybe a quarterback who was faster and had a stronger arm would be a better fit for this offense apparently means you want to just take a big shtein right in Foles' mouth.

how come you get it and the fan club is so dumb?....this isnt rocket science

yeah...on that arm strength complaint.

lol at "combine velocities"

when you start watching games you can chime in

his arm seems strong enough to me....but its def not strong...and its really bad if hes on the move...its also embarassingly bad for his size

It just barely beats out building up a nice froth over fake Jackson trade rumors.

This conversation is neat.

I'm thinking most people in here get winded throwing the ball around the back yard.  :paranoid
Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad.

He's been down on the guy from day one because he's white and goofy looking...has nothing to do with his play. 
igy been down on him from the start for no good reason, won't cop to it..what else is new.

Exactly.

Also, his arm strength is bad when he's on the move?? And particularly bad for his size? You're reaching man, embarrassing, really.

There were a lot of people saying it was a bad pick, I wasn't one of them, and after seeing him play a few games I wanted him over Vick ever since. I caught all kinds of racist bullshtein from igor and his little sidekick, too many beers at the legion, eastern shore rise, and all the other crap that is spewed from the sewer hole of his keyboard. He's still doing it. Been doing it from the start and GF doesn't see it or likes the donations too much.

ice grillin you

lol you wanted him over vick....you are a football genius!

vick is a pos qb and ive said it from the day he was acquired

i know its hard because you are an ancient backwoods white dood but you really need to let the racism go....the bitterness is making you think opposite things.....things like i love vick and hate foles

the mexicans have taken your jobs you cornhole cranial lump and you aint gettin them back.....DEAL with it!

Or I think maybe the guy that drunk posted about pulling his daughter around by the hair to yell at her maybe could use a little mocking. Or maybe that's irrelevant and you sometimes have dumb opinions. Or maybe I only think the dogpile on IGY is fun when he's actually said something stupid.

terrible pick and it has nothing to do with the guy....i have no idea how he will turn out...its the position...they could have went in so many other directions that would have helped the team in the short term

This is the classic meh pick. Its not Teo, Smith, or Gocong bad but its not somethimg that is exciting.

Was just thinking that while this isn't an exciting pick, it's infinitely better than the project/hybrid guys the Eagles have been grabbing around this time in the draft over the years.

absolutely...like i said its the position not the player thats the problem....which is def better than picking an awful player

Man, I wish this stupid Skins fan would stop burying Foles, amirite? If you think money will change my mind please feel free to hit that PayPal button. Sure, they keep locking my account every three months for the last four years so that I can't put money in or take it out, but you might have better luck!
