It's so stupid, I'm closing it- and IIRC it's only the third time I've ever done so.

This thread is stupid. Nick Foles isn't going anywhere.

Fuck Chip Kelly in the butt with a pine cone but I don't think he's stupid enough to piss away what you believe is a franchise quarterback.

well that's just an even worse idea. So you wouldn't ask "at least" for their #1 this year to go with it? Foles is just that good huh? Whether he is or isn't, you still don't do a straight up trade like that. If you look at the possibilities of who the Eagles could pick up at #4, getting "just" Foles for that seems kind of absurd don't you think? Plenty of awful qb's have had 1 good year. You don't trade straight up like that unless it's a proven qb, upper echelon type guy who's done it year after year for a few years. Foles is not that guy.

This.

And I agree this whole discussion is a bunch of hummdingerin malarkey.

i guess this is the only thing to argue about anymore............imaginary trades.

No thanks because you dont want a good QB?

@tiott said:

So would any GM in the NFL- good Lord, can this stupid speculation already. IT AIN'T HAPPENING. What's next? the Patriots are going to trade Brady and a couple of first round picks to draft JF?

@jcam222 said:

13 games 203/ 317 completions for 64.0% 2,891 yards 27 touchdowns to 2 interceptions and a QB rating of 119

So based on his year to stats we wouldnt want him?? I mean really who needs that??

I suppose some of you are aware of someone we have already this good or someone we KNOW we can draft that will produce that? Listen I am not sure if I would make the trade either but to just dismiss it with short responses like "hell no" , " etc seriously have you all gone fucking insane?? Quit smoking the draft crack pipe and consider things sensibly.

If you can get their first, Foles and their 2nd next year you have to take a VERY long hard look at this. Either way its all horsecrap in all likeilihood as I dont think they would want to let him go.

this has gotten to just plain ozone crackhead level speculation. EARTH TO THE BOARD- KINDLY COME BACK FROM OUTER SPACE. Try to keep draft scenarios somewhat in the realm of possibility.

On a realistic level, for the Browns to land Foles, it would cost our first round pick, and maybe Joe Haden. kindly get real with the fantasy..

They did no more for him in my opinion than Tate, Gordon and Shanahan can. Those three had very little to do with the fact he threw only 2 interceptions vs 27 TD's. I am not declaring him the next Joe Montana but I wouldnt be upset if he was a Brown thats all I am saying.

take a look at the game by game stats and number of games played in 2013 and then reevaluate your grasp of fractions

So McCoy, Jackson and Chip Kelly had nothing to do with his success? He landed in an ideal situation (favorable offense, good coaching, excellent supporting cast) and made the most of his opportunities after being the last option remaining. Forgive me for not jumping on the d and gladly offering up the 4th pick in the draft for a QB who is, for the time being, a flash in the pan.

I'll tell you what, if he puts up similar numbers (TD:INT ratio included) this upcoming year then I'll consider thinking highly of him. Until then, I'm going to remain skeptical.

@tiott said:

No, at minimum I want their #1 this year as well. (and their #1 next year....though that might be stretching it)

dropping from the #4 for Foles and future picks? You're kidding right? Those future picks ain't gonna be very high anyway cause that's gonna be a good team for a few years to come. That's an absurd idea.

Who said future picks ? I'm talking about Foles for the 4th pick. Period. I would personnaly do it in a heartbeat. This kid is tremendous. He was one of the most valuable players last year.

And last time I check, he turned 25 three months ago.

@remarker said:

Why call it an infatuation with Foles? I don't think Pettine and the boys are infatuated with anyone. It's more like, keep the one you are at the dance with and be a good lead so they dance well enough not to stink. No one is acting like Foles is the key to paradise except maybe those that want Johnny Football to be the dancer.

I wasn't speaking of Pettine or the coaching staff, just in general amongst the media and posters on this board.

As for your dancer/dancing analogy, that makes no sense whatsoever.

@tiott said:

Another crackhead pre draft rumor to fill air time- it ain't happening. Need a reference? What would Browns fans have done after Anderson's big year if they had traded him away to take a shot at Johnny Football? If you think riot, you'd be right.

Let's see, we've got Manziel rumors to the Texans- Jaguars- Browns- Raiders- Vikings- Bucs- Titans- Cowboys. Now the Eagles. I'm sure the Cowboys have already offered any team in the top 4 Tony Romo and their first round pick so they can draft the Second Coming.
