Sam Bradford for Nick Foles TRADE ! (1 Viewer)

So Foles got hit 12x Sunday and what's the narrative?? Guy is getting hit and can't step into any throws on darn near all of his turnovers.

The schedule slows down after the buy, so I wouldn't beat my chest too hard for the "Nick Foles doesn't belong in the league" crowd. He can be ok-good NFL-wise after the bye. Vs any kind of good pass rush this is to be expected
He stepped into his throws, they were just very bad ones. Very bad. The one he didn't step into was vintage Foles with awful footwork and a ball that should have never left his hands
You've clearly picked a side. I won't argue with ya buddy. His feet is not even on the ground :lmao:

I clearly have picked aside. That is true. I picked the side of someone who actually watched his picks. That link you posted was great but yeah, he wasn't picked off on that throw so....... :lmao:

The 2 in the redzone were God awful. The pick 6 was vintage Nick Foles...pressure, panic and a pick. That one probably had a shot to be picked off by 3 people.

The other he had room to slide up (which we know he doesn't do), instead he slide into the pressure, Gurley fell and it was picked off.

Almost thought you were talking about Bradford :lol:

And he has clearly picked his. Even an awful Foles game he defends. His team wins a big game and only thing he posts is how he predicted green bay would beat st. louis. King Nostradamus over here has to be the most unobjective 'fan' out there. It's unfortunate he can't just admit Foles looked awful yesterday... that would make his arguments be taken a little more seriously.

It's very clear he picked his. He rushed to judgment and defended a poor game using a link to a pass that wasn't even one of the interceptions. He didn't look, see highlights or even attempt to research any of what he was saying. He saw red after people bashed Foles over a bad game. That's the kind of stuff that has to stop. He wasn't even close to this type of poster before this off-season. Now it's like someone else does this for him.

Up until this week, this was the pressure Bradford had every single game. 4 interceptions (including a pick 6) is never acceptable. Now you see why Philly got rid of him. Never rises to the occasion against a very good team. See: New Orleans playoff game 2013.

Foles belongs in the league. He's about the 20th best QB right now. As I've said all along, he's around average. But nothing special.
I am not taking sides in this ridiculous argument you guys are having, but Foles was 23 of 33 for 195 yards, 2 TD's and 0 ints in the game you listed. He also drove the Eagles to the go ahead TD in the fourth quarter. I don't think they lost because Foles didn't rise to the occasion, I think they lost because the defense couldn't stop the Saints from driving down the field for the game winning FG.
I watched that game and Foles was very underwhelming. I was a huge fan during the season. Thought we may have found our guy. Throwing for under 200 yards in a home playoff game against a bad Saints defense was a sneak peek of what was to become of Foles a year later.

Dude, stop it. You've never known me to not watch a game. I don't watch highlights at all. I seen the game. The link was just to point out what he was dealing with all game since you mentioned footwork. He was hit 12+ times and pressured on over 60% of his dropbacks. Take from it what you want.

I will say that I wasn't impressed per say but I don't think he was to blame at all.

Actually the Saints defense was 4th in points allowed and 4th in yards allowed that year. Their pass defense was 2nd in yards allowed. So based on the stats for the whole 2013 season they were not a bad defense. But hey, make up whatever facts you want to support your argument. Foles stat line for a 2nd year QB playing his first playoff game was certainly respectable, if not good.

Again, I was very underwhelmed and it was certainly the game where his shine wore off. Came back last year and was very very average. Which is why Chip made the deal. And even if Bradford never becomes elite or even very good, it was a good deal to make. He saw all he needed to see in Foles. He wasn't the guy. And if Bradford isn't either, then they'll be a next guy. Bradford is improving every day. Foles is...well, Foles. Peaked in 2013 and hasn't gotten a lick better in the last two years. You guys would be screaming if he had the horrible game he had yesterday as an Eagle. 140 yards and 4 interceptions. And he could still be here. Thank you Chip.

I don't disagree with the trade, because I think Foles is a decent QB but nothing great. I think Bradford has the physical tools to be great if 1) he comes back from his injuries both physically and mentally and 2) he is mentally strong enough to handle the Philadelphia fan and media criticism. So I like the risk of trying to get a great QB. You and I will just have to disagree about the playoff game being the game where his shine wore off. I think he played a pretty good game, but even if he played a lousy game, he at least had the wherewithal to lead the team to the go ahead touchdown with 4 minutes to play. That is rising to the occasion.

I mainly objected to you talking about the Saints having a bad defense to make your point, when they in fact had a really good defense that year. This year they are bad, but not in 2013.

Except he never had a game that bad as an Eagle, even under Andy. In the offense he was getting used to, he never threw more than 2 picks in a game. But hey whatever helps you get over that trade.

I watched that game and Foles was very underwhelming. I was a huge fan during the season. Thought we may have found our guy. Throwing for under 200 yards in a home playoff game against a bad Saints defense was a sneak peek of what was to become of Foles a year later.
Actually the Saints defense was 4th in points allowed and 4th in yards allowed that year. Their pass defense was 2nd in yards allowed. So based on the stats for the whole 2013 season they were not a bad defense. But hey, make up whatever facts you want to support your argument. Foles stat line for a 2nd year QB playing his first playoff game was certainly respectable, if not good.
Again, I was very underwhelmed and it was certainly the game where his shine wore off. Came back last year and was very very average. Which is why Chip made the deal. And even if Bradford never becomes elite or even very good, it was a good deal to make. He saw all he needed to see in Foles. He wasn't the guy. And if Bradford isn't either, then they'll be a next guy. Bradford is improving every day. Foles is...well, Foles. Peaked in 2013 and hasn't gotten a lick better in the last two years. You guys would be screaming if he had the horrible game he had yesterday as an Eagle. 140 yards and 4 interceptions. And he could still be here. Thank you Chip.
Except he never had a game that bad as an Eagle, even under Andy. In the offense he was getting used to, he never threw more than 2 picks in a game. But hey whatever helps you get over that trade.
If you're not going to compare Foles as an Eagle vs Foles as a Ram because they are in different situations, that's fine. But don't bring up his good Rams games if you won't be critical of his bad Rams games. You also act like "in an offense he was getting used to" means that a QB needs some time in our offense, yet are the first to blast Bradford for not shining in his FIRST AND SECOND games as an eagle (and in 2 years of football).

You might be right, qb's need a bit of time in Chip's offense to get going. If you're right, then it was a good trade for us as Sam will only get better with time. You guys are in here bashing average Bradford performances, yet refuse to bash terrible Foles ones. I own a Foles jersey too, but this week regardless of the offensive system, even the selective-hearing Foles defenders have to admit that Sam looked much better then Foles.

 
So Foles got hit 12x Sunday and what's the narrative?? Guy is getting hit and can't step into any throws on darn near all of his turnovers.

The schedule slows down after the buy, so I wouldn't beat my chest too hard for the "Nick Foles doesn't belong in the league" crowd. He can be ok-good NFL-wise after the bye. Vs any kind of good pass rush this is to be expected
Up until this week, this was the pressure Bradford had every single game. 4 interceptions (including a pick 6) is never acceptable. Now you see why Philly got rid of him. Never rises to the occasion against a very good team. See: New Orleans playoff game 2013. Foles belongs in the league. He's about the 20th best QB right now. As I've said all along, he's around average. But nothing special.
I am not taking sides in this ridiculous argument you guys are having, but Foles was 23 of 33 for 195 yards, 2 TD's and 0 ints in the game you listed. He also drove the Eagles to the go ahead TD in the fourth quarter. I don't think they lost because Foles didn't rise to the occasion, I think they lost because the defense couldn't stop the Saints from driving down the field for the game winning FG.

I've been over that trade since the day it happened. Loved it.

Point to where I brought up ANY of his Rams games.
