My prediction for the Eagles’ 2013 QB depth chart:

1. Vick
2. Dixon
3. EJ Manuel

Good luck with that Eagle nation. It must kill all of you to know Dallas will own you next year just like they did in 2012.

Yes Dallas has their problems but at least they aren’t the pathetic Eagles.

Yeah, recent trades for Eagle QBs like Kolb, McNabb & Feeley have worked out so well…..not saying that Foles might not fit in somewhere else, but anything higher than 4th round is absurd….

KC would maybe give the Eagles a 4th rounder for Foles, but I think they will wait and see if Seattle cuts Flynn loose. They will also be waiting to see what the 49ers plan on doing with Smith. I think Foles would be a better fit for Reid’s offense but KC can use those two as possible leverage trying to deal with Philly. KC parting ways with 3rd pick would be almost the same as any other team giving up a 2rd pick, I don’t see that happening.

See how the cards liked how well Kolb turned out after only a few starts. Not what they expected, was it. Voles is the same, not enough experience to have anyone in their right mind trying that again.

Dennis Dixon is the best option. Vick will start then get injured and Dixon will come in and outperform Vick. It’s a shame they don’t just start Dixon.

Trent Edwards wins the job outright.

Tebow and a 2nd round pick. Tebow and Vick can be like fire and ice, thunder and lightning. They could sing duets.

I don’t know if they will get it but I can assure you this management will NOT trade Foles for less than the pick (88th) that they used. If they don’t get it, he stays. All pipe dreams about 4th 5th or 6th round picks. No GM would give up that quickly especially when Vick was given a one year contract and he always gets hurt. Seriously, some posters just have no clue.

Foles will be gone on draft day. He is probably the best QB on the roster, but he just doesn’t fit the offense. It would be a waste to keep him. They will probably get Emmanuel (sp) from Florida State somewhere in the draft. If that’s the case, we have an injury-prone QB (vick), a QB that probably shouldn’t be in the league (dixon), and a rookie. Anyone else completely underwhelmed?

here’s my offer use Kelly’s so called gifted offensive mind and create an offense around Foles. use 2 backs at all times with 2 receivers to run your read and react portion of your offense but it is impossible to run that DUCK “o” as it is. a running q.b. will soon be an I.R. casualty.

Any Gm that trades for a Eagles Qb should be fired, how many times have the Eagles gotten over on a team. Look at Kolb & Feely, they get traded and the team that trades for team ends up looking stupid…

Who is smoking so much dope that they actually believe that Foles with a 5.9 40 yard time can fit in and have any success in any kind of spread read run read pass, read defenses and change plays at the line? Who thinks that Foles can really read defenses whose coordinators will be ready for his tendencies this time around. Just remember how much trouble Bradford, Stafford, Newton, Cassel, Dalton, and Locker had in their second year of full time playing when defense coordinators finally had time to analyze their tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses in-depth.

As for KC, Reid would be much better off trading Cassel to the Cards for Kolb who would just step right without missing any steps back into Reid’s WCO.

Twinkies are actually pretty valuable these days, so that comment might not be too far off.

Buy low, sell high, eh?

Only problem here is you have an unproven commodity……..KC shouldnt consider anything more than 3rd, straight up, and thats only IF the KC front office were out drinking the night before.

Since I know everything, I cant dream of Philly getting anymore than a 4th.

My gut feeling is KC bides their time, hoping Wilson is available in the 2nd, if not, then expect some draft day dealing.

I mis-read the headline and thought it said “significant other” for Foles and thought he was the first to come out of the closet!

Flynn is a good qb. He did nothing to lose the starting job rw3 just took it cause he is a beast. Flynn should be a starter in new york 10x better than sanchez,tebow,and macklemore put together.

Put a real O Line in front Foles and watch. Eagles better take a long hard look at Foles and see where the chips fall. Kelsey, Peters and Herramens are back. That’s a hugh difference in protection. Make a real all out effort to replace The fireman and watch.

Chips offense is not all about a mobile qb. Its a bonus, but not needed. You guys need to at least wait til OTAs and training camp before claiming superior knowledge to what Kelly will do in Philly.

He needs someone who can complete screens, quick slants, change plays at the line, read defenses.

Who cares, as long as Vick is on the roster I have zero interest in the team, and am losing respect for Kelly.

change your name to “supergirl” because you are far too emotional for professional football. smh

Foles is worth a 4th and no more. The Eagles don’t just get to create the market, the market sets itself.

And consider this in evaluating chip kelly’s opinion of foles- no coach knows foles better than the one who was actively coaching a team in the conference where foles set all the passing records last 5 years.

Bucha shrewd business men in here…

Foles has shown at LEAST this – There is at least one coach in the NFL who loves him, and he coaches a team that has good draft picks, last time I checked.

Just that right there is good enough to take this stance. We got a 2 and DRC for Kolb and a 2 for aj feely from teams/coaches that didn’t draft and start him repeatedly.

With the first pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Johnny Manziel quarterback Texas A&M university…….

Foles has proven that he is what? Worth a second round pick and a significant player? Has anyone looked at Kolb’s trade and wondered what NFL coaches are thinking?

A significant offer for a QB that isn’t all that significant. I don’t think so.

Love all the Eagles fans who think they will get anything higher than a 4th for this guy (lucky to get that).

Think about it, Foles doesn’t fit Kelly’s system so he is a 3rd string qb. Most teams only keep 2. Why give anything for him if your KC because when he gets cut you have 1st pick in waivers. It’s not like he needs to go to camp to learn Andy’s system and the Cheifs are not going to win now so if you pick him up in the preseason or early in the season you save yourself a pick.

Now that I think about it a 5th or 6th is more likely.

LOL at the suggestion Foles could struggle to pick up Chip Kelly’s offense. He learned Reid’s playbook inside and out in no time. Vick is the one who struggles to pick up the playbook, and PFT doesn’t seem to be taking that into account!
