Yikes.

That's crazy. I mean, as long as the cap keeps going up, every QB contract will keep breaking records.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

As long as he didn't hurt himself while he was signing.

Yup. Pretty much expected.

But that being said, I'm not a big believer in Wentz but the Eagles have no choice.

They don't win a Super Bowl or make the playoffs last year without him, so yes, you have to pay him

Actually they did win a SB without him and it was Foles who took team to playoffs with his season saving performance in final weeks of year

And it was Foles who once again won playoff game for Eagles

 

[GKJ]

Foles is reason they won SB and it was Foles who carried them to playoffs last season

They don't make the playoffs either year with Foles starting 16 games

They were 5-6 with Wentz this year, two of those wins against the shitty Giants. Foles went 4-1, including a victory at LA, and against the Texans. Not sure how you can say they don’t make it with Foles for 16 games.

Foles was terrible to start the year and they were desperate for Wentz to get back. Wentz QB rating was up, completion percentage way up, Yards/game up, QB rating up. More sacks, lower TD%. No training camp, new QB coach and offensive coordinator, and no running backs. He was better last year.

 

[Halladay]

The reason why the Eagles were able to win in 2017 was because the team was 11-2 with him starting and him playing at an MVP level. Without him playing that way they don't get homefield and they don't win the Super Bowl.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

How many playoff games has he won?

 

[tony d]

He's a very good QB but his injury history would have me very wary of signing him for that much.

 

[rangerssharks414]

How many playoff games has he won?

Why does that matter? The last two seasons, he got injured. His other season was his rookie year.

He's a good QB when healthy. He'll win playoff games eventually.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Why does that matter? ...

You're right. The playoffs don't matter. Let's cancel them.

 

[rangerssharks414]

You're right. The playoffs don't matter. Let's cancel them.

He's played exactly zero playoff games. How do you expect him to win a playoff game if he's never played in one?

 

[rangerssharks414]

OT, but I can't imagine how much Prescott will get now...

 

[Voight]

Risky due to injury history but you have no choice these days. At least they have him locked in during his prime, should he return to an MVP level.

Pretty much have to give you QB what he wants, unless your Dan Snyder.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Maybe a little high on the $$$ but that is what you have to pay for a good starting QB, hopefully he can stay a bit healthier going forward

Glad it was before Goff and Dak. Have fun Rams and Cowboys.

Foles has never made it thru an entire season. Only played in more than 8 games in a season twice.

I'd say my nephew is set for life. Now just stay healthy and if he does watch out
