Would You Go For Nick Foles?

Absolutely not..... I thought we were trying to abandon the acceptance of mediocrity??? Like others have said he's not the type of QB that elevates the play of others. IMHO

Everybody in the league knows that Foles is already on the real Jaguars roster for 2019 and beyond. Seriously!! Wake the eff up!

he was great as a backup and succeeded in that role. When he started the season last year he was horrible. Backups have no pressure because they're the backup. He's not a franchise QB and his price tag isn't what a rebuilding team should absorb.

Nope, he's 30 already,

Lol. He was 4-1 as a starter in the regular season last year. He has had one bad year in his career which he played under an absolute idiot in Jeff Fisher. Signing a 30 year old super bowl mvp qb would be a good thing for this franchise.

The funny part is that there was a point in 2017 where there was serious debate about starting NATE SUDFELD over Nick Foles.

Foles took over for Carson Wentz, and the Eagles won a shootout with the Giants the next week. But then, the offense fell apart. They didn’t score a TD for almost two full weeks, almost losing to the Raiders, and getting shut out by the Cowboys. Nick Foles looked completely lost. Nate Sudfeld played most of the game against the Cowboys. There was a feeling of hopelessness going in to the playoffs, and Doug Pedersen didn’t rule out going to Sudfeld in the playoffs if things got bad.

Now, this is the part where I start feeling like a broken record. I like Nick Foles. I think in the right offense, he can win. But if you do not have a team around him that can change its play style to hide his deficiencies and amplify his strengths, he will not win you games consistently. Nick Foles will not “win you games by himself.”

The Eagles figured that out. So what did they do? They changed their offensive design. More short passes designed to get YAC, including...wait for it...bubble screens. They didn’t ask Foles to do as much in the pocket, because he simply couldn’t...and can’t...create like Wentz. They simplified the game plan. And it worked.

So, again, if you want a guy who is a seasoned veteran, who can be the final piece on a team that is talented enough to run an offense to suit his play style? Sure. He can do the job. But if you’re trying to rebuild a team, and you’re going to have a slew of new faces learning to play together? I don’t think he’s a guy you spend 20mm on over multiple years.

I think Wentz could be the most overrated qb in the Nfl. He was 5-6 last year.

Sudfeld did play most of the game against the cowboys and they scored 0 points.

It’s funny that people wrote off Foles because he had a bad year with a coach who makes every qb who plays for him look terrible.

If we were able to sign him to a team friendly contract and draft the QB of the future, then yes. I don't see that happening, so I don't think it would be a great idea.

I fear he is a great QB in that system and wouldn't want to set us back another 5 years.

as good as Wentz may be. I don't see eagles winning another SB W him. the pressure will be even more on him to win. Foles have set bar high in Phil.

Their is no right or wrong way for dolphins to get qb. They need one bad. 30 YR old QB is not old if he is good. one of reason why dolphins have not been in playoff.

no! we need to go younger

this is why we miss on so many good qb thru out the yrs. maybe we need hire Andy Reid to help dolphins find QB. Dolphins don't know how find qb. that why they stuck w thill17 so long. dolphins are scare try something New. 18 yr of same type of QB=same result

I'd rather trade up for Kyler than sign Foles.

If I had the best OL in the NFL and no QB, maybe.

Nick Foles isn't built to take a punishment and keep on ticking.

We gonna dump Tannehill and build up this horrid OL for another veteran QB? That doesn't make sense.

I think a lot of options are on the table for the Dolphins, Foles isn't one them.

I am hoping the Jaguars make a sizable investment in Foles that leads them down a path of 9-7, 8-8 mediocrity just long enough to stay out of the way for our future QB.

I have said that he is the perfect bridge/mentor to our young stud QB but I (based on the depressing 3YPC podcast) have little hope for a young stud QB
