Matt Barkley to Eagles

[NickyJ]

The Eagles have drafted Matt Barkley with the first pick of the fourth round. What does this mean for Nick Foles?

QB competition?

It sounds like Foles is the odd one out. Competition between Vick and Barkley to begin soon.

Well, it's pretty clear what does that mean for Foles; He now has a partner to watch football in January, at least that way the bowl of nachos can be emptied.

No seriously, that pick is intriguing, we know Kelly likes fast offenses, if the Eagles were going for a QB to fit that system I thought they were going for someone like E.J. Manuel or Geno Smith, then again they both were gone when the Eagles made their second pick, it's weird, I find Barkley and Foles somehow similar and in that case I think you should stick with Foles as he already has NFL experience

[NickyJ]

I wouldn't take Foles over Barkley. Foles strikes me as a career backup; Barkley, to me, looks like he could lead a team relatively early.

If anybody was wondering why I haven't been giving news about Philly picks, it's because I was visiting family today. MATT BARKLEY TO THE EAGLES! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far Nick Foles has done nothing but step up to the competition... Having both Foles and Barkley as young QB's on the roster backing up the incumbent is something any NFL team would like to have.

...And two years later Barkley has shown that he is a classic case of a NFL Bust.

He went too high and that's saying something for a QB.
