Philly looking to move up for Marriota
-
Farmer will bring in competition at the QB position. If that competition is a late round prospect or middle of the road FA then he was responsible for the JCF pick. If, however, he uses another high round pick it starts looking like he was saddled with the JCF pick.

I find it somewhat amusing that the Browns fans are always in search of the next "savior" like Ian Malcolm of Jurassic Park always in search of "the next ex-Mrs. Malcolm".
It would be nice to allow the new OC to find out for himself what he has on hand before the fans trade again. LOL!

"I don't know if our starting qb is in the building.".
Ag, you're being reasonable- some Johnny thumpers on the other board are gonna kill themselves.

Yes. But that also means that Philadelphia doesn't see him as a franchise quarterback. So is it worth another number one for us?
WSS
I am not necessiarly saying that is what we should do, but on a hypothetical note, you don't always need a "franchise" guy. A good solid QB works as well. I think Foles is that. I don't think spending a 1st rounder for a proven solid QB who still has some upside is a bad trade.
I think the Philly deal is they want a QB who can do more with his feet. A better system fit which could really open their offense.

well if he can't get mariotta, we have a guy on the bench who is supposed to be mobile. trade that dud straight up for foles.

And we can get a bidding war going between him and Jerrah!
I am sure most are aware that JM had originally committed to Chip at Oregon before switching closer to home with the A&M offer.
plus the price would not be near as high as it will be for Mariota.

I was under the impression that was because Oregon wouldn't play him at QB though?

No that was Mack brown at Texas that was only offering as a safety. Kelly wanted him as a QB.
PS-the fact that JM won the Heisman while Mack lacked a QB is one of the main reasons Texas fired Brown. Manziel was a life long Longhorn fan but would not go anywhere that would not play him as a QB. MB never lived that choice down. Biggest recruiting mistake of an otherwise illustrious recruiting career at Texas.

That's why we're here... to amuse you.
You always have to be looking for your next QB... especially since we don't have one right now.
Not a chance in hell the Iggles give up Fletcher or Johnson. Those two, aside from a franchise QB are cornerstone's to that team.
Also, perhaps I'm not understanding the obsession with Foles? He looked great in Kelly's system year one. Not so much in year 2.
Sanchez looked like he might have his career and 1st round status revived the first few games under Chip, not so much after other teams had film on him.
Why should we look at Foles any different then we look at Sanchez?
Like jrb, I liked Foles coming out of AZ. He was my sleeper QB in the class of 2012. He's done nothing but reinforce my opinion that he has nice, NFL-grade, role QB potential. Again, as jrb pointed out, as a role guy in his Chip debut he prospered. As "the guy" in year two, he stumbled. I'm happy with going after him as a piece; I do not see "the guy" in him or anyone else we might have a shot at.
As for the trade, you never know unless you ask... I agree that Cox is probably untouchable, but he and Barwin would certainly address needs whereas Johnson would "merely" be an upgrade.
Who knows who else we have on roster that Chip likes?

Multiple sources are reporting there is great interest within Philly to move up. I happen to like Nick Foles and think that Chip Kellys offense was just not a good fit for him. In the year prior he was an excellent down field passer with 2900 yds, 27 TDs vs 2 INT. In my opinion he is more than just a bridge gap for us and the new OC Flip.
Would you give our first rounder number 19 and our 2nd round pick for Philly's 1st and 2nd from 2016 AND Foles? Flame away

Franchise quarterback? Yeah. You think so or is this just another example of that green grass on the other side? Like Kirk Cousins last year.

Foles wasn't great his rookie year but was in year 2. Last season he had regressed a bit and then got hurt. I can't see Philly moving away from him and giving up significant draft picks to get Marriota who has never played a down in the NFL. If you are going to get Tampa to part with the number 1 pick and you are Philly you are giving up at least 2 number 1s and a number 2.

Well apparently something changed to drop him to the level of backup. Or below.
Still any failure on the part of the Philadelphia Eagles will bring cheer to me.

we are left with whoever we draft or trade for......whether someone "wants" to come here or not is totally irrelevant, considering players cant choose who trades for them or picks em in the draft....
And "good" free agent QB's dont really exist, so it's not like we've actually tried to sign one and he turned us down....
So, if the Eagles elect to trade him to Cleveland, then Foles will play here whether he wants to or not.....period
