Default Now that it's the offseason for the sad faces.

Who would like to have Foles?

We have a place for him in Denver. All he needs to do is make his reads and get rid of the ball in about 1/2 a second.

Personally I think the NFL should have a dumpster league for "tire fire" players who demand compensation BEFORE delivering their services to the best of their abilities. Half of these chuckleheads aren't fit to work at McDonald's.

You could hardly put Foles in that category.

...Nick would be an upgrade for at least half of the teamsin the NFL...given the injury prone seasons Wentz has had Philly would be nuts to let him go...

Neil's from Steeler territory. It was bad this year. They'll clean it up. I think Foles will give his next employer, even if it's McDonalds, an honest effort.

Hey, we paid about $3,500,000 per win here for "our" QB.

Yep, and convert lots of third and longs after Garrett Bolles confuses a block with a tackle again. At this point I would settle for anyone improves the three-and-out ratio to keep the offense on the field longer and gives Von Miller/Bradley Chubb/Chris Harris Jr and company a chance to rest so they can make plays.

Yup. We could use him. Our QB is getting long and the tooth and a little too big for his britches, if you ask me. He needs somebody capable behind him to suit up and keep him honest. I hope he doesn't go all Terry Bradshaw when his arm craps out.

I'm not a Chargers fan, but enjoy watching them this season. I'd like to see Nick reply Rivers, but the owners are not going to lay down millions for him.

The best, safest and longest lasting job in the NFL is backup QB. Foles should play the long game and stay where he is.

Exactly. Rothlisberger was a backup and an upgrade.
