Tell me why we shouldn't trade for Foles?

[jpdex12]

Would you give up a 2nd rounder for him? He was a 3rd Rd pick. Give up a 2nd rounder only or give up a 3rd this year and conditional next year? I'm wondering if that would be enough?

With the minimal FA QBs out there, I'd give up either of the scenarios above to grab Foles and go to camp with EJ, Foles and Tuel.

Hundley in the 2nd Rd is interesting as well if no trade for Foles.

I'd expect this would be the year to get aggressive with any trades to set up this team with what we need to make a run. Normally we hear build through the draft but we are almost where we need to be right now. No time to develop picks...get who we need now.

I can understand why we'd want Foles, but don't know why Philly would give him up. Sanchez sucks, they have no chance at trading up for Mariota, and Foles' contract is less than a million a year.

because he's Foles Gold ?

Foles really didnt play that well last year. Pitting his numbers against Ortons, he was on par with what Orton did.

I'd take Foles for sure, just not for a 2nd rounder.

18	Kyle Orton	32	QB	12	12	7-5-0	287	447	64.2	3018	18	4.0	10	2.2	84	6.8	6.6	10.5	251.5	87.8	42.56	33	198	5.88	5.69	6.9	2	2

9	Nick Foles	25	qb	8	8	6-2-0	186	311	59.8	2163	13	4.2	10	3.2	68	7.0	6.3	11.6	270.4	81.4	62.21	9	74	6.53	5.93	2.8	2	3

Re: Tell me why we shouldn't trade for Foles?

seems like Philly was getting cold on Foles and could look to resign Sanchize. I know Sanchez didn't put up probowl numbers but he ran the offense fairly well. The media make is seem like Foles didn't appeal to Kelly...

If Foles played the entire season based on these 8 games he would have had 4000 yards and upwards to 30 TDs...that would have been better than Orton and imagine what that would have gotten us this season? A playoff birth!

He would have had 26 TDs and 20 INTs (he had 13 and 10, respectively) in 8 games, and this is coming in a very QB-friendly offense. Orton had 3000 yards and 18 TDs in 12 games, so his 16 game numbers would have been 4000 yards and 24 TDs, in a very not-QB friendly system.

Again, Id take Foles, but he isnt THAT much of an upgrade and certainly isnt worth our first pick in the draft.

Re: Tell me why we shouldn't trade for Foles?

Because continuously giving up future assets in an attempt to land even an average QB is an exercise in futility that almost always ends up in failure. Probably one of the main reasons (along with just piss-poor ability to identify and draft anybody at any position worth a damn for the most part) this team hasn't made the playoffs this century.

Re: Tell me why we shouldn't trade for Foles?

Why is it so damn hard for us to get a qb that works for us and helps get us into the playoffs?

Re: Tell me why we shouldn't trade for Foles?

Had season tickets for 2 years and watched Foles play every week for AZ. He is the real deal and can make every throw.

His big flaw is lack of speed when running.

A second and third for him would be a steal.

Because the Bills rarely draft quarterbacks.

He's 26 and I'd take a flyer on him in camp.

That seems awfully generous with Hackett/Marrone calling the plays.

Philly is not giving Foles up....end of thread.
