Why The Jaguars Are Trying To Trade Nick Foles

D. Wash — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 03:28:27 +0000

Nick Foles may be on his way out of Jacksonville. That’s right, the master of the Philly Special is already on the trade block after one season in Jacksonville. You know what they always say: never let the backup see the field. And unfortunately, that’s exactly what Nick did and how he lost his starting spot.

Not Drafting a QB? Nick Foles Leads Eagles to First Win in MONTHS

D. Wash — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:31:59 +0000

The last time the Eagles won a game was in September 2012. It is almost 2013… so the struggle has been pretty real in Philly for a while now. Michael Vick accounted for over 12 turnovers on his own and got benched for the rookie Nick Foles.

Foles looked shaky in his first two games but may be finding his groove. He threw three touchdowns including the game winner to Jeremy Maclin.

The third-round rookie, put in as starter for the rest of the 2012 season as the franchise re-assesses its options from top to bottom, put together quite a performance in Philly’s 23-21 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Per ESPN’s Stats & Info, Foles became the third rookie in NFL history to throw for more than 350 yards, throw for at least two touchdowns, and give up no interceptions.

The other two rookies were Billy Joe Tolliver and Andrew Luck, so you just never know where Foles might go from here. No matter what, 32 completions in 51 attempts for 381 yards, two touchdowns, and no picks is a pretty neat stat line.

Should the Eagles still draft a QB? Foles has to show he can be consistent during these last few games. But then again if Andy Reid is fired a new coach will be in town and Foles may not be the quarterback he wants…

Eagles to Bench Mike Vick, Nick Foles to Remain Starter

D. Wash — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:46:02 +0000

Wasn’t it just a few days ago that Andy Reid said that Michael Vick was still the Eagles starter? Didn’t Reid say that if a decision was made we would hear it from him?

Well it looks like that day is today. I don’t blame Reid because he cannot salvage the season. Even if Vick gets back in and wins out, the Eagles will miss the playoffs. Here is what went down according to BSO:

According to ESPN, Reid now says that no matter if Vick is cleared to play or not, Nick Foles will remain the starting quarterback.

Vick won’t be happy about this, but it is for the best. He can get completely healthy and start sending out job applications to new teams ASAP.

Nothing is going to stop both Vick and Reid from being shipped out on the first thing smoking out of Philly. I pretty much guarantee that the Eagles will draft a quarterback with their first pick in the 2013 draft (Matt Barkley) unless Foles breaks out in a major way. Then obviously they’d take Luke Joeckel.

It is hard to see it end like this. Things could have went different for this team if they didn’t do three things:

Move to the “wide 9” defense and stock it with stat padders. Horrible.

Splurge on every free agent during the uncapped free agency of 2011

Fill the offensive line with journey men like King Dunlap and draft non factors like Danny Watkins.

The Eagles had a good thing going two seasons ago and simply needed to add quality depth, not shake up their entire team with the likes of Justin Babin, Nnamdi Asomugha, Vince Young, Cullen Jenkins, etc.

I wonder what is left of Mike Vick’s career. Maybe he ends up somewhere like San Francisco or Oakland to compete for a starting job.

Or maybe he just fades away into Bolivia with Mike Tyson…
