This pretty much echoes my thoughts on Foles. Always thought he was a good value pick in dynasty leagues. He was productive on some very mediocre Arizona teams. Took a beating behind a weak OL and never complained or gave up. Nobody will mistake him for Luck or Locker athletically, but he has a big frame and enough arm strength. I like his chances to be a decent player in Philly's friendly system.
I own Vick in a few Dynasty leagues and after week 1 I went and picked up Foles in every one of those leagues including a league I don't have Vick.I did this based on Vick's performance, injury history and after I examined his contract which in the end was not really a 6 year $100 million deal but really a 3 year $32.5 million dollar deal. Those guarantees are up after this year so unless his play picks up dramatically I think he ends up getting released.Now that's good news for Foles of course as he showed enough in the pre-season to make me inclined to think he's the future. Only problem I see in getting to carried away in Foles value is the Eagles system under Andy has been extremely QB friendly for fantasy success. So while Vicks poor play might open up a starting spot for Foles it might also help lead to the dismissal of Reid at which point who knows what kind of system they would run.
Definitely a dynasty stash. Could be the Eagles QB next year and I put the odds of that greater than 50/50. If Foles gets playing time this year, it will be due to a Vick injury not benching. The only way a healthy Vick is on the bench is if the Eagles fall out of contention.To address your play calling comment, for whatever reason Reid always goes to a balanced attack (with success) when starting a backup. When his starter is playing (McNabb/Vick) he's always pass-heavy to a fault.
Didn't Buffalo court Vick when he was a free agent? Thought I remembered that Vick had no desire to come play at the Ralph. I'd like to see that as well, but until the yearly Fitzpatrick implosion, I don't think the Bills are adding a QB.
Reminds me of that old anecdote that said Nixon won the debates on radio, Kennedy on TV.I posted this in the Eagles thread. A quote from Reid regarding how secure Vick's job is. Maybe it is time for a pre-emptive stash in redrafts
"Right now, we're with Michael and that's what we're doing," Reid said Monday after the Eagles' 27-6 loss at Arizona. "We'll evaluate it as we go."
Link?
Or perhaps they got too cute and overplayed their hand by asking for too much. Maybe KC liked Smith a lot better. Can't read this as an automatic stamp of approval of the Eagles for Foles since we don't really know what the negotiations were or what the parties involved were thinking.
I dont see where. Teams complain about Sanchez but he is going to be given every chance again to succeed this year. I see Kolb there as insuranceMaybe you think Jags but they got a young QB they seem to be pleased with and I dont see a trade thereKC has taken care of the issue. Even though they might draft one in early 3rd or 4th if they drop like they did in Andy D and friends mockMinny grabbed Cassell as they got a young guy in Ponder already and brought in vet help. That leaves Arizona who does not seem to have a proven QB. But they are drafting one also or Buffalo but I think Nassib is a forgone conclusion there.
