I think since they are openly calling it a QB competition shows it is Foles job to lose.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

I'm as down on the Bears as anyone else who has paid attention this off-season but Foles is no joke. Guy has had monster years and basically willed a team to a Super Bowl title. He's also just thirty-one years old, which for a quarterback is not near over the hill.

If they can keep him upright he can make the most out of Robinson and Miller.

Yes, he has also had horrible seasons. There is no telling which Foles we are getting.

It's simply not possible to have a QB competition in today's game. Unless you are going to judge them based on what they do against backups.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

It’s Chicago. We know what Foles you are getting.

Same guy that broke Philly's Super Bowl curse though.

Who would you rather have (for arguments sake on the same contract): Nick Foles or Carson Wentz?

Nick Foles may not have been the first choice among Bears fans who were hoping the team would add competition for Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky this offseason, but he was apparently a popular target in NFL circles as a quarterback who can help a team that's on the brink of the playoffs get over that difficult hump.

The Bears were bidding against several teams, including the Indianapolis Colts, according to The Athletic's Dan Pompei.

"The Jaguars weren't shopping Foles this year," Pompei wrote, "but the Colts were bidding as well as the Bears. And others were in the mix, from what little birdies say."

Colts general manager Chris Ballard is widely regarded as one of the best (if not the best) GMs in the sport, and while his interest in Foles isn't confirmation that Ryan Pace made the right decision targeting the former backup-turned-Super Bowl winner, it certainly helps ease at least some concerns fans have about Foles.

Fyi, lots of Eagles fans disagree and I think I do too.

Wentz had an awesome start to his career but the injury seems to have sort of done him in. He's really not a lot better than Truibsky these days.

Biggs thinks Foles is the starter, good read:

from my perspective, the high pick given to acquire him and the length of his contract indicates Foles will be the starter and they will reboot with a first round QB pick next year, who will sit behind Foles for a year.

Good chance it's a shitshow that was like that Ryan Fitzpatrick/Jameis Winston year where they just take turns getting benched every other game.

on the chris ballard comment, that's news to me. Former bear scout if i recall. I do recall the previous colt GM was Hub's guy Ryan Grigson - who turned out to be even worse than PHil Emery at his job.

anyway i wonder if HOF pompei is trying to carry water for the bears to explain why such a high pick as given up for foles

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Don't believe the hype. The Colts weren't going to invest over $50M into the position. They had already signed Rivers.

i think it's implied they were considering foles before signing rivers

I don't put any stock in his time under Jeff Fischer, he's been pretty good outside of that..he's an upgrade over Mitch, that's all we really needed the last two years and upgrade over Mitch and we're SB contenders.
