They gave Vick 100M because he was the STARTER. They took Foles as a DEVELOPMENTAL PROSPECT. The situation here isn't even remotely close to that.

Lets not act like Foles looked like trash....he played well for a rookie.

Funny how you want to say Foles isn't trash but by the same token think that:
1) The Eagles should dump him after his rookie season, thus making him "trash" by definition and
2) The Chiefs would bring him in to be a backup, thus making him "trash" by definition.
There's 2 distinct thought processes going on in this thread and they're not gelling.
Yes, Foles is a talent.
He's NOT COMING HERE for a 5th-round pick and he's NOT COMING HERE to compete with a rookie.
All of the things you said about him above are absolutely true. Which is why the idea of getting him AND Geno will NEVER come to fruition. Ever.
