Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagle

[ice grillin you]

foles play this season has no bearing on drafting a qb...even if he was playing horrendous you dont draft a qb in the first round as there isnt a worthy candidate...and if he continues to play ok you still might draft qb somewhere along the way if a guy you really like is available

[SD]

I'd take Foles over RGIII and Luck at this point. He'll win a minimum of 3 Superbowls over the next 5 seasons at this point.

[Zanshin]

I'm excited because Foles isn't Vick. Good enough for now.

unlikely

I'm just happy the dude is a tall QB.

I think half of the QB follies we've seen are fixed with his height. We'll see less turn overs and less sacks due to faster opportunities to get rid of the ball.

I'm in like flynn.

Also, Nick Foles is goofy-sexy.

i dont know how hes gonna end up as a qb but his poise is certainly impressive....after the avant catch when they had to spike the ball he actually went up to the line and took the time to look left down the line of scrimmage then a full turn to look right down the scrimmage and then the spike...a lot of veteran qb's wouldnt have done that with under five seconds left...real guts were shown there

[SunMo]

apparently he's audibling like a mofo and making checks that a veteran qb would be making

[Rome]

He doesn't seen to ever get rattled.  He has full command of the offense too.

It could be an illusion and let's not forget Tampa was butt naked last in pass defense but he looked really good yesterday despite having to run for his life when he wasn't getting smashed to the ground.

I'm hopeful...

its impossible to forget that since every know-it-all fan and journalist has brought it up in the past 24 hours

I was impressed by his play yesterday. I like the command he's shown audibling and reading defenses. Last ranked pass D or not he is a rookie who identified weaknesses and called routes to capitalize on them.

He also succeeded in his four game quest to get Brent Celek killed. I wondered if SD did a first down dance when that happened.

Sure, but did you know that until yesterday the Phillies had a win more recently than the Eagles? And that DeSean Jackson was hurt? And that Andy Reid is the winningest coach in Eagles history? And and and and...

Everything I've heard and read about him is that he's got a really high football IQ.  Agree on the poise too, but that was evident even when he stepped in for Vick against Dallas.  He's never looked like the game is too big for him, even when making typical rookie mistakes. 

Not gonna lie, I'm excited to watch him play out the last few games of the year just to see if/how he improves.  There's not really anything else to root for at this point, so I might as well hope that I'm watching the beginning of an excellent career.  It's better than being completely down on this team like most of us have been for the last few months/years/decades*.

I was thinking more along the lines of a minimum of 5 Superbowls over the next 3 seasons.

[hbionic]

That is definitely more accurate.

Foles broke his hand in yesterdays game. Done for the season. Vick is starting against the Giants:
