Last snap as an Eagle more than likely. Eagles can cut him within 3 days after the SB and not owe him a dime. Coincidentally just read Asomugha can be cut with no cap penalty, so he's gone too.
Youth movement and new coaching movement begins in 2013. Foles, Kendricks, Cox, McCoy, DJax are only guys with guaranteed spots on the whole team. Rest of the team should have their BMW or Jag set on fire. Bought it with stolen money.

maybe you can admit that I was right about Nnamdi getting overrated in Oakland because no one had to throw at that team ever?

Or maybe going to a new system, physically declining (31 years old) had something to do with it.
He was excellent last year overall. I can't speak on this year, but it appears he has given up a lot of plays. Father time effects everyone differently. He could just be naturally declining.

yeah maybe...or maybe he was just never as good as everyone thought, I think that is more likely given 31 isn't that old at all
he was alright last year...certainly not "excellent"...the overall feel was that he didn't live up to his contract...it was shown that he was clueless in a zone
his name was still huge last year yet it wasn't enough to get him in the probowl
No one ever threw at the guy in Oakland, and everyone just assumed that meant that he was a shut down CB
they didn't bother to notice that Oakland was the least thrown at team in the NFL every year he played there...because they couldn't stop the run, and they were always behind so no one needed to throw.
he was never TESTED in Oakland...(remember that SP?)
this year he is finally getting tested, and he is getting lit up all over the fckin place...

Why throw at a receiver who is blanketed? Deion was rarely "tested" for this same reason, until he got older.
No different than a baserunner refusing to tag because Vlad Guerrero was certainly gonna throw his ass out at the plate.

Not to hijack the thread back to it's original premise or anything...
Reid benefits zero from Foles being on the field. He's a dead man walking, and I don't know if it's loyalty or revenge, but all indications are that Vick, if healthy, is their QB.
Foles didn't exactly set the world on fire. In fact, had it not been for a holding call and the generally inept nature of the opponents DB's, he'd have had at least one more Pick 6 against him. The long TD was a blown coverage that my Mom could have turned into a TD. Maclin and Jackson made catches that were as fgood as anything they've ever done in Philly just to keep drives going. The opponent was so inept they gave Philly something like 6 first downs via penalty.
I'm not convinced Foles is their future. But if they are, I'm not convinced you don't risk doing the kid more harm than good by playing him if Vick is healthy. Some individuals on the team already have shown a propensity toward quitting, and I'm not sure that isn't amplified if the kid goes through what should be expected growing pains.
Being crushed behind awful O-lines killed Carr, Couch and others. I think we need a much bigger sample size to determine if it's to their advantage to finish it out with Foles or Vick, who is gone Feb 2 anyway. If someody's going to get mauled, why let it be the guy you're hoping is going to be your future?
this is the way I see it now...didn't view it this way when I made the thread though
Foles is playing next week against the Skins for sure correct?...because of the severity concussion?
if Foles wins?, they have to continue with him, they have no choice...the team is winning with him
if Foles loses?, the team is 3-7...it's over, there is nothing Vick or anyone else can do to save the team or Reid...so what is the point of starting Vick who just suffered a severe concussion?...Reid knows he is done, might as well go with Foles again and maybe Reid can blame all the team's future losses on that.
Did Mike Vick play his last snap yesterday?
