I don't know why they're moving away from Foles so soon. He looked like he had a lot of potential. I get that Mariota fits Kelly's system perfectly, but still...

I would love to see what they would have to give up for such a move.

To me Mariota seems like someone who fits the category the Eagles would want to grab, but who isn't necessarily the best example of the category.

In other words, I think trading up to get that type of QB makes sense in theory, I just don't have the confidence in Mariota.

I don't blame them. Being able to draft a QB to run your system that you know he will be successful in makes a lot of sense. Now let's see it really happen

McCoy, Foles, and a 1st and 2nd should get it done.

Hopefully it works , Chips future rests on this.

I think Kelly is going to be under some heat if he doesnt make the playoffs this year. If he can get Marriota, he thinks he can make a run.

Serious question, if you are Tampa would you take Foles, next years 1st rounder and a 3rd round pick this year for #1?

Best fit for Marcus. Couldn't you trade Foles to a team that needs a QB for a high draft pick? Why wouldn't Foles, this year's Eagles pick, and next year's first round pick get it done for Tampa Bay?

Some team is going to get a steal in Foles, wish it was the Saints.


Foles will be a good Qb in this league if he lands with the right team.

2014 Foles is more who Foles is than 2013. That season was a complete mirage.

I remember reading an article on one of the advanced metrics sites talking about how he was a complete outlier in how many would be INTs he threw that ended up being dropped. It was like off the charts, way higher than basically every other QB.

Hopefully Mariota slips to #5 and they call the Skins.
