Califan007 The Constipated Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000422950/article/report-nick-foles-future-with-eagles-in-doubt Nick Foles' broken collarbone could cost him a lot more than just the next six to eight weeks of the season. If a rejuvenated Mark Sanchez meets coach Chip Kelly's lofty expectations, Foles' days as the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback are numbered. Citing people with knowledge of the Eagles' plans, NJ.com's Mark Eckel reports Foles' long-term Philadelphia future was already in doubt prior to the injury. "I think (general manager Howie Roseman) is looking at quarterbacks," a league source told NJ.com. "He's kind of soured on Foles, and I don't think he's alone. The organization isn't sold that he's the guy going forward." Welcome to the Redskins' world, Eagles fans lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'd much rather prefer Sanchez sucked as well, so they are faced with a QB quagmire. Misery loves company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 so...the eagles GM has soured...on a guy that has brought their team to a 6-2 record? yeah...i believe that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 At least with Kirk he was mostly an unknown. People got their hopes up thinking he could be great. Mark Sanchez is much more of a known quantity. That would be like Redskins fans pinning their hopes to Colt McCoy. Oh wait... you know what never mind.

pointyfootball Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Howie would be an idiot if he DIDN'T look at QBs. Foles has been a turnover machine this year. Some of that can be attributed to poor OL play (pressure & no run game), but some of the T/Os are horrible. That being said, good QBs aren't easy to find.

Tulane Skins Fan Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Mark Sanchez sucks. Don't worry. Kirk Cousins looked good for about 8 quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm tired of these reports based on speculation that are reported as fact. This one says "Citing people with knowledge of the Eagles plans". Let's be as vague as possible, report the opinion of some random person, and let people think the decision has been made. It's laughable what is reported these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 First DJax, now Foles? Seems like ol' Chip is having trouble managing professional athletes/egos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointyfootball Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 First DJax, now Foles? Seems like ol' Chip is having trouble managing professional athletes/egos. Where'd you get that? Seems to me, if anything, he's having trouble getting Foles to quit turning the ball over, or hit the open deep receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Foles isn't anything special. He's a decent QB but he's the definition of a system guy. I think you could plug just about any accurate and reasonably smart QB in Chip's system and he'd thrive with the combination of talent and scheme.

DogofWar1 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Definitely regressed from last year, nobody can maintain even close to a 27/2 line. Simply not possible. Still, I think they'd be making a mistake to run from Foles, especially since, unless they completely fall apart, they'll be picking in the 2nd half of the 1st round. They should try and develop him this offseason some more. Maybe pick up a 3rd rounder they like, but outside of that they've been winning with Foles, so dumping him might cause problems.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Still, I think they'd be making a mistake to run from Foles, especially since, unless they completely fall apart, they'll be picking in the 2nd half of the 1st round. They should try and develop him this offseason some more. Thinking about QB possibilities for them, outside the draft, trading up or not, only one I can think of is Brian Hoyer. He'll be a free agent this year. Do the Browns keep him with Manziel there? And if they do keep him, does that mean Manziel becomes available?

Oregon Ducks Fan Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Welcome to the Redskins' world, Eagles fans lol... Only in the sense that the media publishes anonymously-sourced BS stories. File that one with the ESPN story about RGIII alienating the locker room. Chip Kelly on report of Foles' future: I control rosterhttp://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000423693/article/chip-kelly-on-report-of-foles-future-i-control-roster After Foles' injury, NJ.com reported, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the Eagles' plans, that the team was beginning to sour on the young signal-caller and "isn't sold that he's the guy going forward." On Thursday, Kelly denied the report had any shred of credibility. "I don't know where that stuff comes from," Kelly said, per PhillyMag.com. "I know this, I know I control the roster. And I think you guys can say first-hand, I don't talk to anybody. So whoever says they have a source in terms of what's gonna go on with roster maneuvers or people going up and people going down, they never talked to the right person because that comes from me, and that never was the case. "I've got great faith in Nick, and I think he's a hell of a quarterback, and I think sometimes he gets banged too much, but I wish there was more people like Nick Foles in our lives."
