I'm telling you. Nick Mullens.

 

[bbgun]

No Nick Foles?

Only if he's released. I'm not giving compensation for any of these journeymen.

I don’t see Chicago keeping both he and Dalton.

Yeah, Foles' contract is disgusting.

 

[p1_]

Anyone watching Atl and Cle?

 

[ravidubey]

Jesus, I can't even bear to listen to an Elliott interview.

He is so baked.

Dude speaks a different language altogether.

 

[Genghis Khan]

No Nick Foles?

Hell no. Foles sucks.

Nick Foles career:

62.3 completion percentage
6.8 YPA
4.0 TD%
2.1 Int %

Nick Mullens career:

64.5 completion percentage
7.9 YPA
4.2 TD%
3.7 Int%

 

[ravidubey]

Foles is a made man in NFL circles thanks to that Superbowl. He will have a job until the wheels fall off.

 

[p1_]

Hell no. Foles sucks.

Nick Foles career:

62.3 completion percentage
6.8 YPA
4.0 TD%
2.1 Int %

Nick Mullens career:

64.5 completion percentage
7.9 YPA
4.2 TD%
3.7 Int%

Those numbers are fairly comparable. Foles had the singular fluke of winning a Super Bowl MVP. Not that that means a lot.

Mullens is not a better option than Foles. Just way cheaper.

The YPA is way better for Mullens and I think it's a very telling stat. And other than INTs Mullens has him beat across the board.

And that's not to mention Foles' stats are inflated by 1 outlier season of 27 TD / 2 INTs and 1 outlier season of over 70% completions (he has 3 seasons of under 60% which is very bad). It's a runaway across the board (other than INTs) without those 2 outliers.

Foles requires smoke and mirrors to even be passable and I don't think we have that here.

All that said, the drawback with Mullens is the INTs but finding a perfect backup is rare. I'll settle for a guy who can move the ball and I'll cross my fingers on the turnovers.

Don't get me wrong, turnovers are a big deal. But what good is protecting the ball if every drive ends in a punt? Give me the guy who can make plays every time.

I'm not going to tell you Mullens is a world beater but Foles is garbage.

 

[boozeman]

So is Mullens.












Silence!

 

[Angrymesscan]

This just means they have 41 players, and have to pick 12 out of a group of JAGs...

 

[Foobio]

Most of these are cuts, but I get it.

Some of the guys who are going to make this team don't look so hot.

Goof Son said 65 of these guys are capable of making this roster - as if that were a good thing.

 

[Foobio]

I posted ^ before I read the last post…but anyway.

Fat Mike has his work cut out for him.

 

[Cotton]

 

[p1_]

i think this guy's been a good addition.

Can't be many high grades

Burton impressed me.
