Report: Eagles GM 'soured' on Nick Foles before collarbone injury

If Nick Foles doesn't return to play for the Eagles in 2014, there's a chance he'll never play for the team again. According to NJ.com, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has "soured" on Foles and doesn't see the quarterback in the team's long-term future.

"I think Howie is looking at quarterbacks," a source told NJ.com. "He's kind of soured on Foles, and I don't think he's alone. The organization isn't sold that he's the guy going forward."

He's been pretty awful this year except for the Washington game. But he's under contract for next year and Sanchez isn't. Might come down to how Sanchez does.

Foles was coronated way too soon, so I kind of agree with the GM. The WAS game was right after DeAngelo Hall went out for the season in the WAS secondary, too, and they aren't exactly "fast-reacting." Plus that was a weird game where Cousins did really well also.

Sanchez is a "manager." Eagles might be ok with him this year, but don't fall in love.

It WAS the game where Hall got hurt. But both QBs were lighting it up all game, as both secondaries leave much to be desired.

Sanchez is a "manager."

He WAS a manager. The Jets forced him to be that, because they were designed to win with defense and the QB's role was not to take chances and not to screw up. Also, he had crappy receivers much of his time there. The Eagles are a much different situation. Their offense is what drives them and the QB is needed to make big plays a few times a game. They did not change a thing when Sanchez came in for Foles last week, and they won't going forward. Will Sanchez take advantage of that? We don't know, but his Jets history has no bearing on it.

[Papa Deuce]

On the surface, I think Sanchez looks to fit the Chip Kelly system better than Foles, IMO. He's faster and more mobile. That said, I am not exactly excited by the thought of him at QB.... I guess mostly, I am wondering, is who will be the QB next season if Foles is not here, and Sanchez isn't very good? I don't think Barkley will be given a shot to start. And I don't know of any decent FA QB's that will be available.... I heard that Newton will be available, but honestly, I just don't want him as the Eagles QB.

[Erik]

Foles will be there next year, he's under contract through 2015. The only way he's not is if Sanchez is a stud and the Eagles choose to re-sign him and trade Foles.

[Papa Deuce]

contracts mean nothing in the NFL.

[Erik]

They're not cutting him. Competent QBs are hard to find, you just don't let someone who has been one go when he's still on his rookie deal. The only way he's gone is if he gets traded, and I already addressed that.

[Papa Deuce]

Well, I never said they would cut him, just that the possibility exists.... or they could trade him.

[Judge Jude]

brace yourselves for the lunacy, Eagles fans:

@AndrewSiciliano pts out Mark Sanchez has won more playoff games as a starting QB (4) than Luck, Romo, Palmer, Dalton, & Ryan combined.

..........

also he won more than Fouts or Esiason.

yes, we are giving bonus pts for failing to even win a division, you can play a weaker "division winner," having a good defense and a less clueless coach - and if you are so good that your team gets a bye into the 2nd rd - sorry, winning a prelim game is worth more than being that good, in the eyes of lunatics.

Sanchez is NOT a bad QB. but his "won four playoff games so he's better than insert better QB here" thing is cherry-picking cubed.

UPDATE: Jets beat guys noting tonite how uptempo, single-read stuff is right up Sanchez's alley. would suck for him if he got a bye and didn't credit for an extra playoff win.

[Waltsanity]

Cam Newton has looked pretty good for the Eagles tonight.

[revo]

cam newton has looked pretty good for the eagles tonight.

lmfao

[Erik]

Has there been another weekend where all three prime time games were as lopsided as this?
