In my earlier post I listed a few things about Foles. Most of you are correct, he passes the eye test with flying colors. He’s tall, actually is accurate unlike Vick/McNabb, seems to already see what defenses are doing better than Vick etc. But as it has been said before will he do what he’s expected to do against real first team defenses. Not a first team like the Browns. Will he have equal success against the Giants or Baltimore defense.
My only concern is that the fans are liking what they see too much and will want to rush him to be the starter. He will get plenty of playing time this year since Vick will maybe play 10 games,and more than likely Vcik will be gone next season. Patience is always better.

Foles isn’t going anywhere, Reid will fleece someone for Vick

@dclogicatlast… First of all, check your spelling and grammer, you look like a fool. Second an objective statement was said that he looked better in preseason.. Third Kolb had 1 more touchdown than interception thrown in his career and lost more than he won before he was traded. Fourth don’t hate on peoples’ opinion… Especially an opinion based on truth… Wake up and smell the roses, get happy not bitter btw dc sucks.@randomcommenter romo has a playoff win

Oh yeah maybe someone should trade for Foles and lock him up with a huge contract asap. considering where Flynn, Cassell, and Kolb stand right now. Good luck with that

Nick Foles is doing exactly what he should be doing. Nobody is crowning him. He should have beat the steelers 3rd team, and he did. He should have beat the pats second/first team and he did and he should have beat the browns. He hasn’t beat a top 5 D, but he is beating who he should be and looks good doing it. I’m a fan and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do. But let’s all hate on the Eagles. That’s cool. I guess that’s what your supposed to be doing.

As an eagles fan you just have to be happy with how your 3rd round rookie qb looks so far. This whole draft class might be Reid’s best.

Go Nick!!! He won’t be traded, he looks like the Eagles’ next starter. Kolb never did.

Lets see Nick Foles has looked good against the Steelers third team defense. The Patriots didn’t start most of their first team and he looked good against the Browns the Browns really. Philly fans be happy with him as a rookie, but don’t be fooled by his success during the preseason. Don’t forget the ghosts of AJ Feely, or the guy from Rutgers or even Kevin Kolb. When Foles shreds a top 5 defense durning a regular season game then he will be proving something.

As much as I like Vick, trading him to the cards would be a good fit. Foles looks very comfortable carding the offense and he’s showing promise for the future. Vick in Arizona, well with that o line he could use his mobility to his advantage and fitzgerald would have a QB who can get him the ball if he stays healthy. Only downside to the cardinals, they’ll probably have to give up a lot………again.

As a Cowboys fan I am loving Foles turning it on. Knowing that Vick is still that starter and has looked as good as Kolb, I love it!

Well, there you go. Foles will be traded next season for a King’s ransom by some desperate team and will get another Andy Reid disappointment. Meanwhile, MR. Glass (aka Vick) will collect a check and disappoint Philly fans.

maybe they can trade them Kafka for a 2nd and their new running back.

Hey Browns fans, you still think Weeden’s going to throw 35 touchdown passes and pass for over 4,000 yards? LOL

Foles should be the #2 right now. Kafka’s not going to lose a game for you, but he hasn’t shown he’ll win one for you either (although the end of that Atlanta game last year was not his fault.) Foles looks like he can win one for you.

Sorry little man, not am Eagles fan, but am a fan of Reid’s ability to fleece other NFL “professionals”.

akshun, kolb threw for 300 yards in his first two career starts, so you probably don’t want very many eagles games. Backup QBs look like fools golf ALL the time. See Feeley, Kolb, Flynn, Whitehurst, Cassel, etc. Foles looks great but your comment is ignorant of reality.

I would say the battle for number 2 between Kafka and Foles is more than over. Kafka will not even make the roster.

As an Eagles fan, i gotta say i’ve seen more out of 3 preseason games from Foles than i EVER seen out of Kolb… forget trading Nick, Trade Vick

I don’t think Foles is going anywhere. I like Vick, but I have to admit I have doubts about his durability. This may be his last year to prove that he can take philly to the promised land. If not, him and Andy will be out and the Foles era will begin in philly

Reid is buttering up Whisenhunt to see if he can highjack Patrick Peterson and a 2nd rounder for Foles!
