FLY EAGLES FLY

For a long time fan who was broken hearted in 1980 when Ron Jaworski and Dick Vermeil lost to Jim Plunkett and the Raiders, this was much appreciated!

While most teams have their quarterback controversies during the season, the Eagles have found a way to have one post-season after winning the Super Bowl. This will be interesting to follow. Wentz was great but got injured. Back-up Foles, the Rodney Dangerfield of quarterbacks, steps in, plays great and wins the first Super Bowl for the franchise. How do you trade, bench or cut him?! Who starts next year? Foles has one year left on a two year contract.

One other interesting thought. Foles played well in relief of an injured Alex Smith in Kansas City but was benched in favor of Smith when he returned. The Chiefs either cut him or traded him to Philly. Will Foles success be the last straw that gets Andy Reid fired from KC?

Congrats Eagles Fans!

BK...

1) Jim Plunket was a Patriot.  For many years...? Before Tony Eason.

2) Tom Brady filled in for an injured, important QB... then never left....

3) Good luck to Mr. Foles... on his next steps.

Great game,

Jim Plunkett was drafted by New England then later played at San Francisco before moving to the Oakland Raiders. He became their starting QB just in time to ruin Jaworski’s shot at a Super Bowl ring in 1980.

Brady was back-up to Drew Bledsoe who got injured and that was the end of Bledsoe’s run.

I think as rough as the game has become, reliance on one QB is an ill fated approach. Teams really need two QBs that are starting caliber and can execute the offense in this era.
