It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Its being widely reported and this is why the Jimmy G trade was ridiculously low value that The Eagles are looking for a first but the Bills have offered a second for the player that will do nothing outside of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Look at age and ceiling Nick Foles has peaked Grap has not yetYou post makes no sense at all. At the point where JG was traded he had 1.5 games of real football played. Foles has much more than that and has performed error-free on the biggest stage possible and got a SB MVP for that. Of course there will be a bigger return for Foles than JG.
I'm not blaming BB for not being able to coup more I think Chris Stevenson answered it perfectlyLook at age and ceiling Nick Foles has peaked Grap has not yet
The dude was throwing seeds all over the field. Give the guy credit. I didn't really see blown coverages or poor technique in coverage by the D. Sometimes you tip your cap.
That said, I still maintain his quality of play will fade as time goes. Or, he'd need to change how he plays.

Again, you have to look at what was known about JG before he was traded to the 49ers. Which is not much. You have a gametape of him against Arizona and half a game against Miami. Lets just ignore the mob-up duty in the KC disaster in 2014 because that was an eternity ago.
Players with "unknowns" are less valuable than players where you know their strengths and weaknesses. One of the two you can coach and scheme around to emphasize the positives. With unknowns you literally cant do that until you figure out what you got.
If JG had played all 4 games in 2016 all of this would have been an entirely different conversation. But he could not make it through 2.
If you disagree with that then look no further than what we did last offseason where we traded length of cost controlled contract for less risk via going for known commodities instead of draft projections.
Big **** Nick has always been a good QB in my eyes, his fall was more coaching fault under Fisher than talent and I was not surprised by his rise under a decent coaching and I would rather spend the coin on him than that stat padder choker Cousins if I were a GM looking for a long term QB.
That said, I still need to re-watch the SB, I was travelling and had to watch in a small TV with not a good quality, did he really light up or just made the throws that was there? I had the impression the Pats defense had a 1 second delay most of the times so he was just going with his readings easily with not much of a contest by the defense.
Foles was targeting our third string thrust into a starting position CB.
It looked like what happens when in pre season games one team leaves their first string offense on the field for an extra drive while the defense has put in all the guys trying to make the final cuts.
zero snaps for our second best corner, despite the fact that he was healthy and active.
No he was not. Otherwise we would not have scenes of Rowe, DMac, Chung and Gilmore all getting beat on third downs by the same player (Ertz).
Anyway this is not another SB/Butler thread.
