Looking Down The Depth Chart: Nick Foles

Found August 23, 2012 on Juan Elway:
PLAYERS: Nick Foles,  Andy Reid,  Mike Kafka,  Kevin Kolb,  A.J. Feeley,  LaVon Brazill
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Arizona Cardinals,  St. Louis Rams,  Indianapolis Colts
Andy Reid made Kolb look like a real QB Juan… Nick Foles has climbed the Eagles depth chart and looks like the #2 over incumbent Mike Kafka.  In his preseason Foles has completed 24/38 passes for 361 yards, 4 touchdowns, and an interception.  He has shown great pocket presence and arm strength as he fit some tough throws into tight windows. We all know that Vick is prone to getting nicked up and missing time.  In less than 10 drop backs this preseason, he has been knocked out of 2 games. If Andy Reid can make Kevin Kolb and AJ Feeley fantasy worthy, then he can make Nick Foles too. The word guru is thrown around a lot, but in his case, Reid is a true QB guru. Foles is a guy to keep on eye on for waiver wire potential in redraft leagues and a guy in dynasty that could have some value in the upcoming years. S/O to @sbnation for the GIF.

Is Nick Foles the Future for Eagles? History Suggests Otherwise

Via Eagles Addict  |  August 23, 2012
Elise Amedola / The Associated Press If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear that Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles was already a five-time pro-bowler and Super Bowl MVP. Fortunately, I know that he’s just a rookie who has attempted a mere 38 passes in two preseason games during his 15 day career as an Eagle. But wow, what a 38 pass attempts it has been! He has completed 24...

Andy Reid: Mike Vick will start for the Eagles in Week 1

Cards back at square one in QB competition

Thursdays game in Tennessee was supposed to be a coronation for Cardinals quarterback John Skelton. He had played less poorly than Kevin Kolb through three preseason games, earning him the lesser-of-two-evils tag in this infamous and inglorious race for the starting role. But the sad reality of Arizonas quarterback competition is that with one touchdown drive, you can regain the...

3 Questions Hanging Over The Philadelphia Eagles

For the first time in a long time, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of buzz surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles heading into the 2012 NFL season. The entirety of the offseason talk around this team has centered around Michael Vick’s overblown “dynasty” comment and the heart-sick death of Andy Reid’s son, Garrett.
