ILoveTheVikings Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I don't know the answer. He wasn't exactly awe inspiring during the regular season and has been a Joe Schmo every year since his second year. But oh my gosh did he have an incredible run in the play offs this year. I'd be very weary of paying him long term. I'm not a huge fan of quarterbacks that for the most part are meh but are capable of playing amazing for a couple games in a row.

theJ Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 37 minutes ago, GSUeagles14 said: or it could be less, foles so far has had an up and down career. even the followup year after the big one wasnt that hot in philly, then we know what happened in st louis. He kind of reminds me of fitzpatrick in the way that he has these prolonged stints of really good play but it never seems to last. The advantage philly has is that foles is still young(ish), a team can look at him and say we can still get 3-4 prime years from him. Why not cash in while his value will very likely never be higher? I'm assuming Wentz plays. Obviously if Foles has to spring into action before the deadline it could lower his market value. But if he doesn't play, the largest influence will be demand (injuries to other QB's or performance of other QB's being the main factors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If Wentz is 100% healthy with no setbacks, I could see the Eagles dealing him for a relatively high pick. If he's not 100%, they'd be foolish to let him walk away and should keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who underwent ACL surgeries needed 378 days to recover, on average, and their careers wound up shorter than those of players recovering from other orthopedic injuries, according to results being printed Thursday in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

Eagles $5$ Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If a team offers us a 1st or high 2nd round pick, i think we need to trade him. His value is never going to be as high as it is right now. But if we can't get anything more than a 3rd, I would just hold on to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Depends, there's definitely first round pick trade value in a SB MVP QB that played great in that particular SB. But if a trade doesn't happen he'll be a backup in Philly. No way will the Eagles cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 why would crapaport even consider posting an article saying the eagles would consider trading Foles? The guy wins MVP outscoring Brady and their original starting QB is recovering from an ACL injury. If they have cap space, why not keep both and go for a repeat? The importance of a 2 good quarterbacks has proven to be a good idea, but as long as egos will allow . Some teams in history have had 2 good QB's , but the media always turns it into drama and a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
