Foles had an amazing 2017 3 game playoff run in which he had a QB rating of 115.7, 72.6% completion rate, 971 passing yards, 6 tds , 1 td catch, 1 int, and Super Bowl MVP while beating Tom Brady.
That crushes Jimmy's pathetic 7 game playoff stats with a 74.1 QB rating, 60.6% completion rates, 962 yards, 4 tds, 6 ints.
No team is trading a draft pick in order to pay $25 million for subpar talent when there are better and cheaper options. At this point, if the FO doesn't cut him as soon as he's healthy, then they're being delusional.
Nick Foles. Of course. Why didn't we think of that. He's the answer. Lets dump jimmy a top 15 qb for nick foles because of his 3 game hot streak four years ago.
Is this a real thread? This is supposed to be a thtead about the player jimmy garappolo not a reddit subforum
As a back up who can step in and guide a team to contention at a cheaper salary? Yes, then he's the answer.
The point of the comment is that there is no rational financial or talent basis to keep Jimmy.
NFL.com ranks him at #20 and that's being generous.
And it wasn't a hot streak. Foles has had a better career than Jimmy as he did make it to the Pro Bowl under Chip Kelly.
He has experience in RPO, Play action, and stepping in for a highly drafted NDSU QB. And again, he's far cheaper option.
