I said the Browns should call and offer the 1,4,33,35 for Wentz. They wouldn't do it, but it would be worth asking if you are the Browns.

Agree that these things need fixed before anything else.
It is how Eagles did it.
and as Shake would hate to say
Philly Philly !

Behind this o-line unless it changes and an iffy o-coordinator until proven otherwise, no.
RE: Trade Your First Rounder For Foles? - Sled21 - 02-05-2018
Foles isn't going anywhere next year. Wentz injured his ACL in December... the chances he is back and ready to go at the start of the season are slim and none....

If I were the Bengals? No.
If I were the Browns, I would offer pick #33 for Foles. He's worth a few wins a year to them as is. Add in new skill position draft picks at #1 & #4 plus free agency and the Browns would be looking very strong for a long time. I think Foles would be cheaper than Cousins and a better over all player.

Right,
Unless or until Mike and Marvin change the way they run the team you could bring in Joe Montana in his prime and little will change.

Speaking of the "hoodie". When that thing was cutoff it kind of had a Rocky vibe but that one he was wearing looked like it was manufactured like that and was cheesy as hell!!

THIS is the trade I would want. I'd give them the NO Saints offer for a coach like that.

I understand alot of responses on here that it doesn't matter with Foles because no matter who we bring in we still have the Marvin and Mike show. And I AGREE 100% with you. It will continue to be a shit show with them and nothing will change that.... BUT you are the GM and have to do something. Thats YOUR job. So ya cant use that for an excuse. Your doing your part to get this team somewhere and you have a say with the drafting/FA. So do you keep a QB like Dalton knowing what your getting?
No way Dalton leads a SB victory the way Foles did. He just isn't that good..no matter how good the OL is.

We all assumed Carson Wentz was really good, but then Foles comes in and does it to which now has me thinking they both may be decent but Pederson may actually be the magic making that thing go. I think the Bills end up doing it because they are ready to win now, but I wouldn't want to do it here.
The gist I got from conversation from announcers and post game reporters is that they went to the run pass option well a lot more with Foles than Wentz. Foles looked like shit the last two games of the regular season until they made the change during the bye going into the playoffs from what I heard. I think Wentz is more suited to the pro style offense than Foles.....who also played well in the spread under Chip Kelly.

In that hypothetical situation, I'd ask for Wentz. Foles is not worth a 1st at all.
It's 1991, do you trade a 1st and a 4th for Jeff Hostetler?

Would you do it? Would you go after Foles?
For a first rounder? Hell no. Andy Dalton if given a decent line and running attack would have carved of that embarrassment of a defense to shreds too. That was bad defense on both parts, historically bad. He did do what the coaches planned and played good, but that coaching was on point. That is what has separated us from the promise land.

no way Boomer was our QB.

Folks can sell short Foles' performance all they want but the dude was dropping dimes. I don't think he had an open WR all night.

Ok , call it. Andy Dalton is notorious for being good against bad defenses. So you dont think the 2015 Dalton could have thrown for 300 against this team? So what you are saying is that Foles is Better than Andy Dalton?
RE: Trade Your First Rounder For Foles? - Atomic Orange - 02-05-2018
Nick had a magical run. He has also had fits and spurts of being good in the past.
BUT
He also has a coach that plays to his strengths
AND
He has a offensive line to protect him.
As we know the Bengals have neither of those things.
That said, after considering the Bengals recent #1 choices I wouldn't have a problem kicking the can.
But they won't do that.
RE: Trade Your First Rounder For Foles? - jowczarski - 02-05-2018
This whole conversation (not just on the board, but on reddit and on Twitter) just blows my mind. Foles had a great postseason. Can't take it away from him. Dalton is 0-4. That will always be there until it isn't. But over the balance over their careers, it's not even a debate.
RE: Trade Your First Rounder For Foles? - Atomic Orange - 02-05-2018
Dalton should be running a hurry up offense. Every time they go fast he succeeds. Been saying this for 3 years now.
Screw the huddle. Bring what Sam created back home.
