2015 Ex-Eagles In The NFL

He will probably get one more shot somewhere.

Looks like that baboon Babin signed with Baltimore.

When Foles was shipped from Philadelphia to St. Louis this past offseason, most believed the Eagles got the better end of the deal. However, after Sam Bradford's stomach-pumping performance against the Cowboys that perspective may have changed. Believe it or not, the Rams are off to a solid start, thanks in large part to Napoleon Dynamite's efforts. He hasn't lit the world on fire, but he's not entirely to blame. Rams receivers have dropped 11.9 percent of intended passes, the second-worst mark in the league. Overall, Foles continues to spin one of the better deep balls in the league, is highly effective on play action (137.5 QB rating) and has made sound decisions when pressured (81.0 accuracy percentage in those situations).

He wasn't bad here, and he's not bad there. But you were never a fan, regardless.

nick foles: "he's not bad"

quite the endorsement

[ice grillin you]

just so i know for future reference we should change this thread name to MOCK Ex-Eagles In The NFL

[Zanshin]

Not from my perspective. I never thought the Eagles got the better end of that deal. Foles and a second sounded steep at the time, and still seems steep. Foles had his limitations, but I thought he did a pretty good job here, all things considered. A lot of people thought he flat-out sucked, though. Weren't you one of them?

[ice grillin you]

im confused as to what my post has to do with my felings on foles....but yeah foles stinks...especially in chips offense....but i still thought the bradford trade was terrible...then again i think even J did

[Zanshin]

Well, considering you just posted a random blurb about how Foles doesn't suck without any editorialization, I'm not sure what you're confused about.

[SD]

theyre 0-2 if Foles is the too. I'll still take Bradfords potential over anything I've seen out of Foles. Granted the picks involved hurt any argument of it being a good trade unless Bradford plays a lot better.

[smeags]

just think, that 2nd round pick is one less we'll get pissed at Kelly for not using on an olineman.

[Zanshin]

The picks are the argument. Chip wouldn't take one anyway, but you could get a hell of a guard with that 2nd ;-).

Typing at the same time sucks.

[ice grillin you]

its not all his fault as the eagles have no one that can get deep but i wish bradford would throw the ball more than ten yards down the field on occasion...even if its it incomplete...at least pretend you would at some point consider going downfield

whats depressing about the eagles is if they had legit weapons i would still feel realy good about bradford and have some hope for this season.....with eapons you could write off his struggles thus far to rust and learning a new offense...i think those two things are definitely factors in whats going on with him...but when those two things subside you still have him throwing to a bunch of garbage...even in the second half of the atlanta game when he was on you kinda saw the limitations of this offense...10-12 play dink and dunk drives....you cant live off that shtein...one of the big payoffs of being super accurate in chips offense is that the accuracy leads to mad YAC....cept the eagles have no playmakers on the team that will take a ball and run with it...sproles being the exception

its crazy how shallow the dallas and atlanta safeties played in the first two games...that doesnt just hurt the run game it also hurts the short and intermediate passing game which is all they got with this roster...so far its try and get sproles on a linebacker...thats the passing offense thus far

anyway id still take bradford over foles....just not for what they gave up

[QB Eagles]

The picks are the argument. Chip wouldn't take one anyway, but you could get a hell of a guard with that 2nd ;-).

The picks and the cap hit.

Bradford has a much higher ceiling than Foles but the way the rest of the O is playing, I'm not sure it matters if Aaron Rodgers, Sam Bradford, or me is playing QB. Can't really evaluate him much until there is an offense to evaluate.
