Decker to the Jets. They replace one weak receiver with another overpaid receiver who is pretty meh without Peyton.

Thank God!J(!)(@!)(*!+@!I

I saw where the Skins were interested in Sproles. Glad we dodged that.

While Sproles is a useful complimentary player, the Skins have FAR too many holes to be taking complimentary players with valuable draft picks. Dodged indeed.

Then when the safties move up he will throw it over the top to Jackson. Dynamic offense.

I still don't think Foles is all that great, though. The plans on offense will have to be flawless and they have to hope no one really figures it out. Foles hardly had tough throws last year. I doubt that happens again. At least praying.
 
We will see. You can't deny the results he had last year. I didn't see much of the Eagles so I don't know the degree of difficultly of his throws but his production was borderline great.
 
His numbers were incredible. That's why I find them so hard to believe considering his talent. Doesn't have a big arm, doesn't whip throws in there, doesn't move well. He ran the offense well and had a lot open for him. I think the NFL will catch up, at least a little bit.

Foles has always had talent. He was a talented guy in college that just never could put it together for some reason. I agree on lack of altheticism, but the dude has a good arm.

Seattle wins title and all of a sudden def backs get crazy money.

Worst time for Skins to need safety bc All of them got way overpaid. All bc of thomas/chancellor. Last year safeties were cheap

Depending on price, I wouldn't be opposed to him or Cromartie. I'm much more concerned with improving the pass rush and corner than i am safeties.

We are supposed to be talking to Spencer and Hatcher...
 
Browner is a solid player. Lots of guys were overshadowed in that secondary by Thomas/Sherman. They all contributed to a great defense.

Some tricky throws but most of his passes were to wide open players. The thing that Foles has going for him is he's smart. But his weapons are sick. On any other team he'd struggle.

Eagles have Jackson who's a sick WR, Riley who's a good possession WR, 2 great TEs, one of the best RBs in the league. Of course their OL is great as well with Peters, Matthis, Kelce, Herremans and Johnson.
 
I'm sure there are plenty of QB's that could have messed it up over there. I'll wait and see before I say its all the system. Basically you could make hte same argument for any productive QB in the league. Every QB needs weapons.
