From the time I covered the team on a regular basis to the times where we are fortunate to have them on our \u201cRCN SportsTalk\u201d show, they always provide valuable insights on the team and on the NFL. They don\u2019t buy in to starting wild or ridiculous rumors to try to sell their papers, nor do they start controversies just to put themselves in the news. They base their stories and opinions on solid facts and, whether you agree with their commentaries or not, they\u2019re always thought-provoking, using logic and reliable gut instinct.<\/p>\n<p>It is with this in mind that I mention comments raised by the Morning Call\u2019s Eagles beat writer Nick Fierro on last week\u2019s \u201cSportsTalk\u201d show\u2026<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RCN SportsTalk: Would Eagles Trade Nick Foles?\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H1KmpWq1NLU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At first, I was stunned at the thought of the Eagles trading arguably the most popular personality in Philadelphia right now (for the record, co-host Dennis Laub wholeheartedly agreed with him). When Nick offers his sage wisdom, I\u2019ve learned to consider his observations and think long and hard before disagreeing with him. So let\u2019s consider the upside to trading your starting quarterback:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2022 Foles\u2019 stock will never be higher than it is right now, and he\u2019s not likely to continue playing at this high a level going forward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2022 Trading Foles now would get you two or three other quality pieces (with one being a draft pick that could be packaged in a deal to get you a new starting QB or a stud pick for another position).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2022 There are some quality signal callers available in the draft that might be closer to Chip Kelly\u2019s \u201cideal\u201d quarterback to run his spread offense. (Although Kelly has said publicly and repeatedly that Foles is his guy, there are indications that Foles is not the typical back to run this offense).<\/p>\n<p>Would this be enough reasoning for the Eagles to trade Foles after the season? It would open the door for a possible return of Michael Vick, perhaps as a stop-gap starter and mentor to the quarterback you\u2019d select in the draft. Even though most fans and critics have called the 2013 a success on many levels, the next few weeks might just determine what the front office decides to do with Foles and their plans going forward. One would think it\u2019ll be harder from a PR standpoint to trade Foles if he leads the team to multiple playoff victories\u2026or would it only enhance the value Philadelphia could get in return for him?<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Nick did not say he would a proponent of trading Foles, nor did he say it was a done deal once the season concludes. But recent Eagles history indicates they\u2019re not a team that stands pat very often, and if Kelly\u2019s coaching style this year has taught us nothing else, it\u2019s proven that he is not afraid to take risks.<\/p>\n<p>What would you do if you were Eagles GM Howie Roseman? Would you \u2018stick-with-Nick\u2019 and make him your quarterback for the future? Or do you sell high and try to solve other issues with more proven players at other positions and take your chances on drafting a young QB?

Have fun debating Foles\u2019 fate in Philadelphia as the Birds look to continue Swinning games this winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Would Eagles Trade Nick Foles?
