      Obviously that Saints game wasn’t the Super Bowl. But, it wasn’t even the NFCCG. It was only the divisional round. So to say they would have repeated is a massive stretch. And for the record, I’m a diehard Eagles fan. But thats one of those stories of lore that has just gotten blown out of proportion and misremembered.

  • @IanSane
    @IanSane 3 месяца назад +24

    The oddest thing about Foles is that inadvertently destroyed Wentz's career by just doing his job well. Wentz was in the MVP conversation the year they won the Superbowl but because he got hurt he gets completely ignored for his contributions that year. Usually when the starting QB goes down in December the team gets destroyed in the first round and we're all mad that they're eating up a spot (think the Raiders the year Carr got injured) but that didn't happen here. Nothing hurts your rep more than if you go down and the guy who replaces you shines in the playoffs. And then Wentz got hurt the next year and Foles replaced him in the playoffs again. He needed that comeback season but didn't get it. Yet Foles did nothing wrong. He simply stepped up when he was asked to and had this strange ability to be amazing when filling in but mediocre when he was expected to be the starter.

    • @JustSomeGuy009
      @JustSomeGuy009 3 месяца назад +6

      As someone that watched all those games back then, Wentz was a mirage. He scrambled a bunch and would make those big plays. However, he would CONSTANTLY miss wide open receivers all through the game. And always missed high, which is not a good way to miss. As time went on they tried to correct this and then he would start spiking balls 3 yards short of receivers. He was not very good at reading defenses or progressions either. The injury reduced his mobility and athleticism and what he had left was a bunch of below average QB skill sets. In many ways he reminds me a bit of RG3.

    • @johnmazzarella43
      @johnmazzarella43 3 месяца назад +3

      What ruined Wentz career is that he was a total head case.
      He was used to being the big fish in the small NDSU pond, couldn’t handle not being the center of attention when he got injured, let alone the threat of competition later when the Birds drafted Jalen Hurts. He sulked and demanded a trade when Hurts was selected.
      During the Birds’ Super Bowl playoff run, Wentz reportedly whined (behind the scenes, in the locker room) about the team’s success without him (and nearly got punched out by Darren Sproles because of that). Not a team player.

    • @kevinheisey4350
      @kevinheisey4350 3 месяца назад +4

      2018 when they put Wentz on the shelf, the Eagles were 6-7 with the 11-2 Rams, the 9-4 Texans, and the 6-7 Redskins remaining on the schedule. All but mathematically eliminated. Against Houston, Foles passed for 471 yards and 4TDs in a walk-off, comeback, 32-30 win, to keep an improbable march to the playoffs alive.

    I read this somewhere a while back, so correct me if I'm wrong. Foles was the #2 ranked HS QB in Texas in 2007 and signed with Michigan State. Ryan Mallett was the #1 ranked HS QB in Texas that year and signed with Michigan. Both only lasted one year in Michigan and transferred out to Arizona and Arkansas respectively. There's some other weird ephemeral coincidences there like Mallett transferring because Rich Rodriguez was hired at Michigan and then Rodriguez coming to Arizona the year after Foles graduated. And Mallett being drafted by and spending his first few years with the Patriots, the team that Foles eventually beat in the SB.

    Faith and family kept him going throughout all of it. As a major Nick Foles supporter from watching him weekly at Arizona, I'm an USC guy &Foles &the Wildcats had me worried cuz he could fling it with the best of them. As a Cowboys supporter watching what he did w/ the Eagles hurt but I've never been a Wentz guy &from day-1 always said Dak was better(&I don't like Dak) so Foles helped my argument that Wentz isn't special. Not to mention there're only a handful of NFL players that I despise &Tom Brady is one of them; watching Foles ruin Brady's best game as a quarterback truly made me happy &putting another loss on his Superbowl resume was thrilling to watch.

      I was waiting for someone to say it! It's all Jason Kelce's fault for putting it out there (so to speak).

    He is living proof that quarterbacks are 90% their environment. Weapons, coaching, coordinators, the right chemistry, etc. People have no idea that their favorite Star quarterbacks would be borderline trash on half the rosters

      I would say Mahomes wouldn't be a superstar on the Bears had they selected him instead. Maybe "pretty good" but Andy Reid unlocked Elite Mahomes.

      That’s why some players make a mistake chasing money in free agency instead of the right fit. Finding the right coach and system is key. Foles and Goff are good examples of finding the right fit; OTOH, Neil O’Donnell should never have left the Steelers for the Jets in the mid 90s because he thrived in Bill Cowher’s system but flopped miserably when he took a free agent deal with the Jets.

      ​@@johnchedsey1306Andy Reid also needed Mahomes. He covered up Reid's mistakes. Mahomes also has had the same OC and DC his whole career. I do agree the Bears he may never unlock it all.

    The memories of watching that Superbowl with my best friend up at PSU, losing our minds, running into the streets of downtown with a riot squad showing up will be something ill never forget 😂 So happy Foles retires an Eagle, what a legend

    The year he beat the Pats in the Super Bowl, I walked into an Irish pub in Smyrna, DE, wearing my Patriots hoodie. I wasn’t realizing that they all would be Eagles fans. The started to hassle me, in good nature, but I thought it could escalate. So to ease my exit, I told the patrons that we were having a good season, and they were having a good season, and we’ll see you in the Super Bowl! It turned out better for them in the end.

    Personally, I will always be grateful for his play here in Philly. I lived to see the Eagles win a Super Bowl. Had serious doubts that would ever happen.

    Nice tribute by Eisen.. he did forget one thing, his performance in the NFC championship game, the 38-7 whooping they put on the Vikings

    Foles is also 1 of 8 QBs to have thrown 7 TD passes in one game in the company with Luckman, Blanda, Tittle, Peyton, and Brees. (And Joe Kapp and Adrian Burk.)

    BTW that game when he had 7 TDs, He did all that in less than 3 quarters. He couldve smashed that record if they let him loose in the 4th.

    I think Foles is a good example of how the league labels someone and it's impossible to shake even after you've been a super bowl mvp.
    I've watched countless QBs play more than Foles was playing in most years, with a fraction of his talent.
    Him beating Brady was something I enjoyed seeing, and I'm a Giants fan...
    He got some money for it all. And he got to win rhe big game and be the MVP of it. That's as good as you can ask for in my opinion.
