He got Riley Cooper a big contract. And I don't see Jimmy Graham on the Eagles roster.

Foles is a decent QB with a decent arm, but any QB can succeed behind an O-line like the Eagles'. When you can sleep on the decision of who to throw the ball to, your job as a QB is a lot easier. And you can't deny the fact that playing in Kelly's type of offense and having a great cast of talent around him helped his stats a lot.

Since you dragged Griffin into this, if he has the kind of statistical year that Foles had, I'll give huge props to him. Putting up stats like that with the kind of O-line we'll likely have would require some phenomenal quarterbacking.

BTW, while Celek is no Graham, he is a pretty darn good TE. Not Gronk or Graham, but not Logan Paulsen either.
