Dude is 29. He's got plenty of football left in him.

This isn't the 80's and 90's where QBs were actual football players. They don't get hit nearly as often.

Unless you're Cam Newton.

I don't think Foles has that kind of longevity. Heck, he was ready to hang it up just a short time ago.

The guys that last into their late 30s tend to be either elite quarterbacks or career backups. I don't think Foles is elite. Honestly I'd say he's probably not more than a year or so away from returning to earth.

It would be pretty bad ass if he just straight up retired and went out on top.

It would, but I think he'd be walking away from about  $30-40m..   I see a three to four year deal somewhere at about $10m per--

I really think you're going to see that change moving forward. With all the protection that QBs get, I foresee this current generation of QBs playing longer than guys before them. Hasselbeck played past 40 and he was a starter for years.  Matt Schaub is the current back-up for the falcons but was a starter for a long time in Houston. He's 36. Brees is still playing and I don't know if he'll ever stop (but I hope he does). Brady Just won an MVP award. Rodgers and Smith aren't younguns anymore. Eli and Rivers are still going strong. Palmer retired at 38, which is pretty dang old for a QB. He even had multiple significant knee injuries throughout his career. 

The only guys I foresee retiring at around 35 or so are Cam and Rothlisberger, and that's mainly due to how many hits they take extending plays that other QBs don't.

It's a weird contract that self destructs this offseason. He'll be a FA in order to save Cap room for the Eagles. 

Dude honestly deserves a starting opportunity. He's not a bad QB, he's just had some bad luck. Looks like he's getting his confidence back. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Buffalo or NYJ next year. 

He definitely proved he can win a championship. Something not even Jim Kelly or Dan Marino can say.

Nick Foles?

The guy who has been taking courses in seminary over the past year or two?

That "Big Dick Nick"?

You stay classy, Philly fans... lol.

They are who they are.  At least they're consistent.

And at least so far, no horses were harmed in the making of last night's celebration (though one was stolen and taken for a joyride).
