coltsfan whatever…..Do you have even the slightest idea what ur talking about.? Reid was fired for the past three years. Foles had absolutely nothing to do it.

Trading for Foles is something dumb like Pioli would do (Cassel part 2). It’s a smokescreen.

If it does happen, I don’t see any way it goes down before the draft. I have to imagine the Eagles are hoping to draft Joeckel, and sending a QB to the Chiefs makes it all the more likely that they take him with the #1 instead of Geno.

i would think even a hack lawyer would know what tampering is, especially florio whose favorite subject is tampering. foles is not a pending free agent ergo no tampering. talks about a future trade can be made publicly, as they always do at the combine prior to the beginning of the league year

The legend of Nick Foles grows. Who cares he is 1-5 lifetime.

Haven’t the Chiefs learned from the Matt Cassel fiasco?

Foles makes sense for KC and Reid — a guy who did show some flashes in his starts, despite a Swiss cheese line in front of him; a guy who knows Reid’s system, can start on Day One, and who will give Reid the luxury of being able to concentrate on other positions on the team while not worrying about QB. Matt Flynn is probably a better, but more-expensive choice (and keep in mind that showing interest in one doesn’t negate interest in the other), but this does make sense for the Chiefs.

Quinn can do it. Just needs players around him like Bowe to stay healthy.

If there’s one thing Andy’s good at, it’s making mediocre QB’s good (i.e. Koy Detmer, A.J. Feely, Kevin Kolb, 2010 Mike Vick)

NFC East plays AFC West this season… no way Kelly wants to see Foles beat him in one of those “I’ll show YOU” moments.

what is the sudden fascination with backup quarterbacks? If a QB can’t start over Michael Vick, you may want to pick someone else to build around. Everyone is trying to find the next diamond in the rough.

Its a leverage play for Alex Smith. The Chiefs want the 49ers to think that they have other options to drive the asking price down for Smith. The Eagles have no reason to trade Foles. The 49ers have several million reasons to trade Smith.

I sincerely doubt this is true. Foles is the reason Reid got fired.
————————————
typical non-eagles fan b.s. Foles had absolutely NOTHING to do with Andy’s firing. He was put on notice after the horrendous 2011-12 season when Foles was still in college so there goes that theory. I actually believed this was going to happen the second AR was fired. I knew he wanted Foles and I’m still confident we WILL trade Foles to Andy. I think what would be ultimate karma would be a deal where we give Foles to KC and swap first or second round picks( I’d love it to be more but I don’t think that’s gonna happen).

Been saying it since he got hired in KC. Don’t know if Reid will win the big one(highly doubtful). But Reid made McNabb a great qb who w/o probably would have been good but not great. Feely and Kolb looked liked NFL caliber QB’s in their spot starting so I think with a half decent defense which KC already has plus Foles could end up turning out ok. Would not blame the Birds for trading for a third or even a fourth considering how high the Chiefs are drafting. The Lord said to Moses “I will bring one more plague on Jeffrey Lurie and on Philadelphia. After that he let Michael Vick out from here and when he does he will drive Howie Roseman along with him forever.

Aw, man, I bet the rest of the NFC east is salivating over the idea of a Chiefs-esque QB train wreck next season between Vick & Dixon…

Packers fleeced the Eagles for Al Harris years ago … One time they didn’t win a trade with Reid

Yeah if Andy does that he can book a flight right out of Kansas City

AR can have Foles if he agrees to give up the #1 pick and move back to #4.

A smokescreen obscuring Reid’s actual plans? There’s that over analysis again.

Conditional 3rd to a 2nd based on blah blah blah

That’s a bad sign for top QBs in the draft.

That says a lot about what he sees in their potential and skillset.

There won’t be 3 Rookie QBs in the playoffs next season.

Gonna need a 3rd and a conditional 4-6. Eagles dont have to move him.

I think that Nick Foles is just what the doctor ordered in KC.

As a matter of fact I think he is perfect to back up Carson Palmer.

I wouldn’t want Nick Foles. I would rather go after Matt Flynn

Watch injury prone Michael Vick and Dennis Dixon get injured the first game of the season and Eagles will regret trading Nick Foles (if the trade goes down in the first place)

If Andy wants him I don’t want to trade him. Big Red usually comes out on the right side of QB trades

How funny would it be if the Eagles traded Foles for a 2nd round pick and the Chiefs get burned like the Cardinals, Redskins, and Dolphins did. Karma’s a………..
