Once we pay his bonus I could see somebody acquiring him on the cheap, betting that it was just a mental thing he couldn't get over in St. Louis, and that Foles will bounce back to at least being a serviceable backup. I'd move him for anything we can get. If he ever bounces back it won't be in a Rams jersey, IMO. If nothing else, moving him frees up a roster spot.
If we are only saving 1.75M, we should hang onto him.We have paid the bonus. It makes little difference ($1.75M savings whenever we cut him. We are on the books for the $6M period).
If they eat lunch with him? If we eat the bonus and they buy Fisher lunch? We eat the bonus and they buy Bradford lunch?Think it's possible to trade Foles if we agree to eat half his damned bonus? Two thirds? Three fourths? GIVE him to somebody if they eat his bonus? Half of it?
I've got half your lunch...If they eat lunch with him? If we eat the bonus and they buy Fisher lunch? We eat the bonus and they buy Bradford lunch?
That might be the wise thing to do but I'm a fan. I simply don't want to see him behind center ever again unless he has a complete turn around. I might have been one of the few (I know @jrry32 was not a fan either) that was vehemently against bringing him here even before the trade was rumored. I pointed out how he was always late on throws, was very inaccurate, threw up ducks that his receivers had to come back to or change their route to catch, or threw these little dump offs to receivers and RBs that chewed up the YAK. His Probowl season was an aberration.If we are only saving 1.75M, we should hang onto him.
And now you're officially scaring me.I've got half your lunch...
I think he's better than what we saw after those first few games. He lost his mojo in this offense.
Can he be a quality starter again? I don't know?
But he'd be a great back up... Low contract... Character guy... Etc.
I think his meltdown came because his O line became decimated with injuries and his receivers are average at best. People were not getting open and he was getting hit. He was simply getting no reward for taking a hit and simply began to throw to avoid hits. His accuracy and reading of a play disappeared. Maybe with a healthy O line and hopefully a real #1 receiver he could return to form. If not, you may as well keep him as a back up as the cap hit is there even in a trade.
