Can't we stop it with the Vick talk though?

You guys are stressing way too much on the QB pos. If he doesnt get his guy this year..he'll get him next year. This is not a team that has to have a QB today. This is a rebuild with a college coach.

Btw...Tebow will not be coming. He has already nixed that before. He wants QBs who can run, not RBs that can pass. His words.

If he goes after a vet..Im sure it will be Smith. The rest are scrubs. He isnt going to just look for running ability. They have to be good pasers too. I think that is the biggest misnomer going around.

DC is the next big question. Not QB.

Smith is mobile, and generally gets the ball out quick. I think for sure he's the 1 year stopgap for Kelly.

Nick Foles is going to be the QB. I fully expect a QB to be drafted in the first 4 rounds, simply because we will need another QB, and why not draft a QB that is "Chips" choice. Chip will modify his offense to the players he has. He told you that himself in the press conference. When asked about Foles, he gushed and gushed over him...When asked about Vick he gave like a 5 word answer and moved on. First think he said is his QB had to be Durable, and smart...Does that sound like Vick? No can do. Foles is durable, and smart. He will pick up Kellys system, and do his best to make it work. If it's only at 75% of what Kelly really wants and he feels restricted, then QB will be selected in 2014 in rd 1. If you all remember, Andy Reid went with Doug Pederson, and drafted Mcnabb.

It's thought that with Kelly now in town, Vick may be more willing to renegotiate his massive deal and stick around. The quarterback's departure from Philadelphia was once widely viewed as a lock, but it now seems to be less certain."

Howie Roseman said on WIP they have till Feb 6 before Vick's salary is guaranteed. I'ma ride w/ Howie on this one.

Seneca Wallace
Jason Campbell

I could see Kelly bringing in three guys.

you guys aren't thinking outside the box. Too much "Chip Kelly did this, so he MUST do that". No way; he's a smart guy. He won't root through the garbage for a starting QB.

you guys should have signed Bradley, he was the better pick. Foles is durable?...he played 7 games and sustained a season ending injury...

If Foles is our QB he will be able to start week 1 next year...Can you say the same about your QB?

LOL thanks for the insight.

The Redskins have made awful choice after awful choice and yet you come here to say this? You should be more worried about your teams awful mismanagement of its franchise player than you are about who the Eagles hired or who their QB is.

He broke a bone in his hand, yet finished the game....Seriously why are you hear? Your Qb's career could be over because of your coaches stupidity, yet your here worried about ours??? Really?

**swat** · 01-19-2013, 12:21 AM

Chip Kellys top QB attribute? No, its not athletic ability.....Its decision making. Said so on WIP. Doesnt sound like Mike Vick to me.

Personally, I dont see a great option in the draft this year. I think we will have to roll with Foles for now. Unfortunaltey we didnt get Tannehill or R.Wilson in last years draft. But it is what it is.

Foles will either impress in 2013 or we go QB in round 1 in 2014. Should be a pretty high pick with all the roster turnover that is coming.
