The Nick Foles era (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Jed
- Start date
a snip for context-
Wyche added that the Rams do not have a mandatory mini-camp scheduled so Foles could miss all voluntary work over the next few weeks without being fined. Foles could face fines should he decided to hold out from training camp this summer.
Coach Jeff Fisher addressed Foles' absence after Wednesday's session.
"I've had conversations with Nick and we're on the same page," Fisher said. "And we're trying to work things out. "We're in the process of sorting things out with Nick. It has nothing to do with him not wanting to come in and compete at all. He's very, very competitive. We appreciate everything he did for us and his leadership (and) his teammates miss him."
The likelihood of Foles not being on the Rams' roster this season has probably played into his decision to not participate in OTAs, Fisher said.
"I think Nick has the feeling that if things stay the same he's probably not going to be on the roster," Fisher said. "But beyond that it was more of a mutual thing, not that we said don't come. It was just say 'Hey coach I'd just rather, I'd just rather stay away until we get things worked out.' And I said I'm fine with that."
I think the best thing Foles can do is get Chip on the phone.
I consider him jekyl and hyde. He was a fine, if not impressive, quarterback in Philly and didn't care for him with the Rams. I would not guess his career is over.
Who is Eli's backup? Maybe he can go there.
Is Tannehill going to fail? Maybe there
Is Osweiler not as good as advertised?
His agent should be shopping him (and the Rams give him permission to) to at least find a good backup opportunity.
What if Romo gets hurt? Is Kellen or Dak going to lead them? There's gotta be someway some team his agent can pitch him to

Chip is not interested in Foles, people. He could have kept him for like $1 million after he lit it up in his system, but Chip preferred to pay Bradford $13 million and trade away a 2nd-round pick.

There's no shame in being maybe the 45th-best QB in the NFL. Not only will be get another job, I expect he'll be on an NFL roster into his 30s. And he'll make another eight figures or close to it before he hangs 'em up. I wish him the best.

IMO he would be a good signing by the Vikings. Level headed young QB with playing experience to backup Teddy. I think he is better than Shaun Hill.

I think he'll be a viable starter again... along the lines of Fitzpatrick. The truth is somewhere in-between the Eagles and the Rams IMO.

In the words of Broken Matt Hardy, "it's ovah"

In a league where guys like Matt Cassell and Chad Henne can get starting jobs well after their prime, I think Foles will be around for awhile. It'll be 2025 and he'll be starting for New Orleans or something with a Fitzpatrick beard and people will say, "damn he's still in the league?"

Patrick Reusee is one of the worst Vikings related journalists out there in my opinion and there are quite a few bad ones.
Sounds like he is trying to set up a buy low scenario for Teddy in his fantasy league

I read a lot of Vikings stuff but I try to avoid reading his stuff. Bad blood from when the team wasn't good and he is one of those writers who likes to kick the team when they are down. Pretty negative outlook on the team all together regardless of how good they are. He is one of those writers who would rather talk about baseball or something and I wish would just leave football alone.
He is likely one of the many Teddy haters who think the QB position is all about being tall and having a cannon arm. I have to guess on that though because I don't read his stuff.

He is a QB with his jersey in the HOF. Not much more qualifier needed.You are right. He is amazing.

Signed with KC.

What protocol? I thought they said Smith did NOT sustain a concussion. They were pretty adamant about it, right? Does this mean 1) they are admitting they lied or 2) that they are having trouble keeping their lies straight?Ian Rapoport - #KCChiefs coach Andy Reid says QB Nick Foles will start this week, with Alex Smith in the protocol.

Who's starting him this week? Anyone? Anyone? :tumbleweeds:
FWIW, I like his deep passing stat potential this week against the undisciplined and oft burned Jacksonville secondary. I'm not looking for top end numbers but still think 200 yards and 2 TD's isn't out of the question. For my scoring rules in start 2, I'll take that.

I'm rolling him out with some confidence in a 2QB league. He looked good last week, instantly makes the WR better and has to be hungry to get a starting job somewhere. Also, their running game is banged up so I expect them to air it out more against a weak Jax playing on the road.

Foles has a 94.1 career QB rating with the Eagles, 105.9 with KC, and 69.0 with the Rams under Jeff Fisher. You know who else sucked under Fisher? Goff and Keenum.

I think we'll be fine with Foles under center. Gut feeling, nothing more.
