Honestly so does Carson Wentz but there's not a head coach ours included who wouldn't oust their QB for that skill set to always make a play whether it's with his head arm or legs.
Huh?
Belichick just opted for Brady over Garrapolo.

Wentz is a different animal if your starting a NFL franchise you might start with Wentz I would.Huh?

Foles makes the Bills better. I do not disagree with that. While Tyrod has shown as times the makings of a decent QB (not great), the ceiling of the Bills with him as QB, I think, is barely making playoffs.
My disagreement with your post is regarding "Why not offer a 1st and 3rd and just be done with it? Foles is an enormous upgrade to Taylor. Overvaluing draft picks won't get them anywhere."
-I do not think any team can ever be competitive by undervaluing draft picks. Giving up a 1st and a 3rd for Nick Foles and his cap hit is a vast over-payment for essentially a couple year rental IMO.
-If you draft a QB in the first you have the QB under contract for 5 years (assuming 1st round pick) for about 7-8 m year (based on Forbes reporting on Mitch Trubisky's contract in 2017).
-Also, if a team trusts their coaching staff and scouting team, they also have the opportunity to mold the QB to fit their system better.
-Finally, I do NOT think that the Bills are only a QB away from being competitive (defined as playoff contender and having a good (read: more than just plain luck) chance of winning a game or two in the playoffs). Furthermore, I think they can use the picks that they have to gather the extra pieces.
Overall, if Bills can get Foles for a 2nd rounder, I think that is a good trade for them and they should make that trade. That is good value. I disagree that a 1st an a 3rd rounder for the services of Foles is a good trade.
Desperation virtually never pays off.

The Pats needed him to get through 4 games and he couldnt get through 2. This is fact. He repeatedly got himself into dangerous situations in 6 quarters of play and that one time he could not get out of it.
Do with that what you want but as we all know availability is at least as important as ability for the coaching staff here.
You 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.
He was a league MVP candidate in 2013 with only 2 INTs. That's an incredible TD/INT ratio. Bradyesque.
In the right system, he's not a back up, but his play will probably seen as mediocre as the RPo gimmick offense he ends up using, gets exposed once more of it ends up on film.
Saying he was Vince Ferragamo or something, is completely disingenuous.
imo, i think pederson allowed foles to be himself in the rpo which is smart, but i don’t see wentz as a pure rpo guy. so, i would guess part of their playbook is a bit rpo and the rest more involved for wentz’s skill set.
just my .02
The Eagles’ “college offense” under Pederson peppers in read-option run plays, run-pass options, and a handful of quarterback keepers with plenty of “pro” concepts that ask Wentz to drop back and make throws from the pocket. It’s the marriage of these two styles that fits the young quarterback’s skill set perfectly, much like we’ve seen in Kansas City and saw in Houston before Deshaun Watson tore his ACL.
On one play, we’ll see Wentz run a perfectly executed “RPO,” confusing the defense with the threat of a run before lofting a pass downfield, as he did midway through the first quarter.
