[Marc the Habs Fan]

Who takes a chance?

[MMC]

No surprise there.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Jets?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Is anyone actually interested in him?

 

[What the Faulk]

Someone may as well kick the tires. Can't be expensive.

 

[hockeykicker]

Someone will take him. He is bad but not bad enough to not be given a backup spot

 

[Hasbro]

Who needs a third arm in camp?

 

[Voight]

I'd keep him over Keenum if we take away contracts.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Why wouldn't teams take chance on him?

He is only 27 with a good amount of experience starting and his stats say he can be quality #1

2012 = 161-265 (60.8%) for 1,699 yds with 19 TD's and 5 INT
2013 = 203-317 (64.0%) for 2,891 yds with 27 TD's and 2 INT
2014 = 186-311 (59.8%) for 2,163 yds with 20 TD's and 10 INT
2015 = 190-337 (56.4%) for 2,052 yds with 7 TD and 10 INT

Last year he was bad ,, No doubt but one bad season shouldn't prevent him from getting a chance as #1 again in future

Isn't being relegated to the back up position exactly why he wanted out?

WinCup,
Good post.. The 27 TD- 2 INT season was one of the best I've ever seen from a young QB. I think it demonstrated how high Foles' ceiling can be. Those kind of stats are not a fluke at the professional level. They require highest level talent, being utilized properly. He also had a game where he threw a surreal 7 TDs.
Things didn't work for Foles in StL, but I believe he can still sling. And if you look at Hall of Famers like Steve Young, they also had some rough years in bad places early in their careers (a season in Tampa, Young only threw 8 TDs, & 13 picks).. I wouldn't give up on Foles' potential yet.. It's lame how quickly QBs are dismissed by both teams & fans now.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Lol.....Rams gonna be the Rams

But seriously, I think he's still potential. No QB will do well there (weird not saying "here" as in the STL...still kind of bitter) as long as Fisher is there.

I hope someone gives him a shot and he tears the league up.

KC on a 1yr deal, reunite with Reid?

 

[GKJ]

Didn't realize he asked to be released. Not sure what landing spot is there for him even as #2, but someone will sign him. I'm guessing that he thought he was going to get cut and wanted to get in somewhere before camp starts. Maybe the Bills?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I'd take him as the back-up in Pittsburgh over the decomposing corpse of Bruce Gradkowski...but that's not saying much.

Agreed, he would be an upgrade.

Though Landry Jones will probably beat out Gradkowski for the backup gig anyway.

that 27-2 is one of the most insane recent statistics but that might speak more about chip kelly than nick foles.

Lie Bradford he was pissed his team used their pick on a QB, unlike Bradford, said QB was almost guaranteed to start the minute the pick was made.

But Kelly was just the architect, Foles helped build the result. He was the one throwing those passes.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Why do I keep hearing about the Vikings being interested? I'm fine with Shaun Hill being the backup for another year and then letting Taylor Heinicke take the reigns in 2017 (even though that dumb ass stunted his development by severing a tendon in his ankle trying to kick a door down) or just signing veteran backup X.

 

[Babe Ruth]

Amen..
And I do believe Kelly's system was good for Foles.. but it surprises me how fans (around the internet) have diminished & dismissed Foles' 27 Td-2 INT season.
If a QB has a 30 TD-10 pick season, that's pretty good, he's gonna get some love.. basically a 3:1 ratio. Terry Bradshaw's a Hall of Famer, and his ratio was 1:1.. Foles goes better than 13:1, and ppl explain it every way other than Foles' talent..

Even factoring in Foles' other seasons, he still riding at a 2:1 TD to pick ratio, still not bad.. and completes over 60% of his career passes.

 

[Hasbro]

Kelly went mad with power and Fischer is **** with QBs, but football is more than one stat.

it surprises me as well. 27-2 is nothing to scoff at, even if it is nick foles

someone will sign him. he's still got a chance to fulfill his potential

You can not compare the TD:INT ratio of guys from the 70s to the guys today, Foles plays in a far different league than Bradshaw did.

If that never happens (i.e Roseman doesn't get pushed out), he's still an Eagle IMO.
