Sudzy gonna be the backup next season.

I'm fine with having that Foles security blanket there next year. We have a team that can be right back here next year and with carsons style of play, feels like he's going to be injured throughout his career. I'd like to be comfortable at every position, not having SUDDY as the backup

After Sunday I certainly have started thinking this way. Depends what we get offered...I'd be tempted if we were offered 2 seconds, but I'd also be perfectly comfortable if Foles comes back. He appears to really be a good teammate, and the coaches have confidence in him.

If we win the SB who cares trade him, if we don't keep him.

We can always sign Kaep as a backup!

What if he wins the Super Bowl and we trade him to the team that ultimately faces us next year in the Super Bowl? I would buy Nick Foles jerseys for every team he’s ever played for if that happens.

Idk would make the pick we get for him worse / Philly shitmedia would have intolerable taeks

Completely agree on Foles. Only thing is, from just the perspective of being fair to a guy who just got you to / won you the Super Bowl, he's not going to be the starter here when Wentz comes back, and if some team is willing to make him the permanent starter and he wants that opportunity, you have to let him have it.

Trade Wentz

You kid, but...

It would be sort of interesting to find out what you could get for Wentz. As someone already said, Wentz's style of play makes you just a little nervous he could be injury prone... and yet his performance this season makes him insanely valuable. Say the Eagles do win the SB with a strong performance from Foles... you could gamble that he is enough to keep you plenty competitive next season, and see if, say Cleveland would give up both those firsts this year and maybe one next year for Wentz, and throw in a 2 or 3 besides. Or what would the Jets, who have never had a truly franchise QB since Namath and who play in the world's biggest media market, be willing to pay for a guy who has proved he is the real deal? QBs are basically equivalent to that one guy who can totally by himself dominate the court - the LeBrons of the world - and it's conceivable a team desperate enough would be willing to give you the sun, moon, and stars for Wentz, all the draft picks basically. You could re-stock your team for years to come, find a new QB to develop, all because you have a safety valve in Foles.

Mind you, I would not do this, but it is an interesting thought question. I think I'd at least want to know what could be had.

please delete this

who else in the NFL would you want that is not Carson Wentz? Nobody.

I think that the funny aspect of Foles seeming to return to form as an unlikely dominant QB force, and floating that he would be trade bait has taken a weird turn where people think that these comments about swapping him for a #1 or some other start commodity are truthful. Trade Wentz was the ultimate ante up of the hyperbola. Fact is that this team is set with Wentz and Foles on the roster, and its necessity was proven out this season. Why would you even consider giving up Foles with Wentz unlikely to be 100% in the Fall?

Because of depth at LB and OL. You don't really need "depth" at QB, just someone who can go 1-2 if the starter misses 3 games. The 2017 script of losing QB just as #1 seed is in reach has never happened in past and not likely to repeat.

Nobody, but there are people out there that would rather have Myles Garrett, 2 top 5 picks and future 1sts from the Browns versus probably the best asset in the NFL.

If you were offered that (including a 2019 Cle first), you'd have to consider it before saying no.

i'm of that old axiom that whoever gets the best player in a trade wins

so almost guaranteed we lose

what is happening in this thread?

A Carson Wentz type player is great and all, but a draft pick could end up being anything. It could even be a Carson Wentz type player!

Was listening to the No Huddle podcast yesterday and they think that if the Eagles win the Super Bowl this year and Foles wins the MVP, the eagles retire his number and he's got an outside shot at the HoF.
