First, don't base your opinion of all Eagles fans based on this message board.  A small number of fans come to TATE and post idiotic ideas.  Most fans who do actually logon to a message board on a regular basis either lurk and don't post, or post in other forums on these boards and make fun of stupid people in TATE.  So not even the majority of fans on this message board feel the way some of the idiot TATERs do.

Second, most fans don't come to the message board at all and comment on other sites or just stick to sharing their opinions the old fashioned way.

Finally, even on this board most people are happy to have Foles on the roster.  Some extremists are either saying he is terrible or great, but most recognize the potential is there and want to see what the young rookie can do with time to develop.

Eagles fans don't run anyone out of town unless they have proven time and time again to either not give effort or don't give results.

People loved AJ Feeley for stepping in as the 3rd QB for McNabb and Detmer and handling it the way he did.  Fans were not happy to see him traded to Miami, they thought he should be the #2 behind McNabb.  Most fans didn't turn on McNabb until after the Superbowl, prior to that most people enjoyed the human highlight film and were excited about him and in fact complained that Reid didn't get him enough talent at WR and TE to help him become elite.

1999 Donovan McNabb and Juan Castillo would like a word with you.

Why, because 5 idiots at the draft booed the ORGANIZATION for choosing a QB when they (wrongly as we found out in hindsight) wanted RB Ricky Williams?  they did not boo McNabb directly, plus it's in NY so the Giants fans will boo a Philly pick to accentuate how many fans it sounds like are booing.  Way blown out of proportion.

Watching Doug Pederson at QB, fans clamored to start McNabb to see what he can do.  And for years, people loved McNabb (some didn't, most did) and cheered him on through the Superbowl year.  Fans wanted the FO to get him some real talent at WR and TE because they believed in him.

No Eagles fans has ever wanted Castillo fired from the Eagles.  No one.  Many believed he was not the right choice to promote to DC but liked him as a person and coach and his hard work and dedication to the Eagles.  It was not Castillo's fault, it was Reid's for making that decision and putting him in a tough spot and then making him the scapegoat.

What fan base would like the move of sending their long time O-line coach move to defensive coordinator? You really are a Cowboy fan or something.

Well to be honest if they call plays and have the offense throw 50x a game with Foles behind this Oline you wont have to worry about the fans running him out of town, we will be praying Edwards lasts.

I'm getting things started with my new avatar featuring Nick Foles "reading" the defense.

Oh please!  Have you seen Geno play since the Baylor/Texas games (0 - 4)?  My son is a sr at WVU and I've seen them all.  Geno Smith IS NOT an NFL franchise QB.

Did you see Nick Foles play in college?  Game.. set... match

[oldmark]

Right. I see him having a few (normal) problems adjusting to being  a starting NFL QB, and people wanting him gone after a week.

The same people who want Andy gone yesterday.

I wonder who would make people here happy as QB, or who they would prefer as coach...Ryan?
