Possibly, but the time to buy stock in Foles has passed.  We non-GM nobodies tend to be a year behind when it comes to the NFL and we chase what's happened rather than what COULD be.  Going into last season people weren't looking at Nick Foles because everyone who didn't have a QB with 2 or more SB's was saying that we need to shore up the lines with the high picks and "get our Dak Prescott in the 3rd or 4th."

This year people talk about getting Nick Foles.  Meh, the guy was the SB MVP, that's pretty impressive.  Saying you should trade two 1st round picks for a guy who just won the SB is logical...sort of, but you're too late because someone else got him out of a scrap bin BEFORE he won the SB.  That's the big difference.  It's the difference between investing in Microsoft now and investing in Microsoft when Bill Gates was working out of his own garage (or was that Steve Jobs?  Anyways, you get the point).  

It sort of reminds me of an old guy I know who said something along the lines of when he heard song XYZ on the radio he KNEW it was going to be a hit.  The point is that he isn't an A&R man for Apple, so chances are IF he heard a song on the radio it WAS a hit.  

With Foles and Keenum being two of the last 4 QBs standing, this may be the year everyone wants to grab someone else's backup QB...which could work in McCarron's favor.  Keenum and Foles are pretty hot commodities one year after they reached their peak after a team that bought low on them cashed in.  

Anyways, generic rant over.
