For the life of me, I can't figure out why there are so many rumors about Philly wanting to get rid of Foles (especially in light of his 2013 season). Do you think these rumors are legit? If yes, what do you think it will take to grab Foles in a trade?

I'd really, really like to see Foles and Gailey working together. Foles would probably be the best QB Chan has worked with in years.
I can see Mac making a move if neither of Winston or Mariota fall to the Jets.

god no.....I'm NOT willing to give up a boatload for him...whatever it would take would be too rich for my blood. He hasnt shown to be good enough for LONG ENOUGH to give picks or players up for him....not the kind they would want anyway. Can you say matt shaub...matt flynn anyone?

Foles injury history would concern me. He has missed time due to injury in each of his pro seasons - IR with a broken hand at the end of 2012, missed a couple of games in 2013 with a concussion and the broken collarbone this season.
Also, I am not quite sure who he is as a QB. Is he the guy who had a great year in 2013, or the mediocre QB he was before the injury in 2014. Compare his 2014 season to Sanchez and they are very similar. 14TDs - 11 picks 64% completions for Mark and 13-10 60% for Foles.

Foles is FOOLS GOLD.
I would NOT even entertain the thought of going after him if I were Mac.

I associate my self with the aforementioned 3 posts above. As much as I hate to say it, give VaGeno one more try to see if he is anything worth keeping. One could still argue that he was not set up to succeed. While I don't buy it as I have seen enough of him, I am willing to give the new regime a chance to see if they can turn him around since I don't see Mariota being there for us when we pick and I don't want Jameis (just think he will be such an off-the-field disaster in NYC with the media..the last thing this franchise needs). If VaGeno is not the answer, then we are QB shopping in next year's draft.

There are rumors that Chip Kelly is desperate to get Mariota. If Mariota falls to our pick (which some mock drafters are projecting), it's possible that the Eagles would send us Foles and some high picks this year and next to get him (although it would likely mean not getting our first pick until the 20th spot this year.

I always liked Foles, but I wouldn't give up much for him. I do think he would do well under Gailey. If philly is willing trade him I would hope we would look at him.

If Mariota falls to our pick (which some mock drafters are projecting), it's possible that the Eagles would send us Foles and some high picks this year and next to get him (although it would likely mean not getting our first pick until the 20th spot this year. I think they would probably try to trade with Jax as they would be worried about the Redskins .

I also saw rumors that Kelly is desperate to get Mariota because he knows Kelly's system and he is perfect for it. Makes a lot of sense.
I would not be interested in Foles. He did not look particularly great this year in a system designed to make QBs look good. He was at best marginally better than Sanchez. Once you factor in the injury risk he's not particularly valuable. For that reason if we took any QB off PHI's roster I would rather take Sanchez back.

True, but moving down in the draft, IF the Eagles really wanted Mariota, and still getting a first round and an additional pick, would be worthwhile.

I'd rather have Kirk Cousins.. Just my humble opinion.
