After their Super Bowl win, the Eagles face an interesting problem at QB. Nick Foles just won their franchise it’s first-ever Super Bowl after an insane playoff run but the team still has MVP candidate Carson Wentz under contract. It’s fairly obvious that Wentz is the better quarterback and will start the 2018 season, so what are the Eagles to do with Foles?
ESPN pundit and former Colts GM Bill Polian gave his thoughts on the Eagles conundrum and had a terrible take on what the Eagles should demand in the trade market for the backup QB, Foles.
Via Adam Schefter
Bill Polian said on ESPN’s NFL Live that, if he were the Eagles’ GM, he wouldn’t listen to any offers for Nick Foles unless they started with “two 1’s and two 2’s.”
Of course Polian got ripped to shreds by Twitter for his terrible advice.

No team is trading two 1s and two 2s for Nick Foles.
What the hell is Polian talking about? https://t.co/ppEGfwgz24

I think Polian is smoking some good-good.

Garoppolo brought a second rounder. Is he drunk? I'm a life-long Eagle's fan & we might trade WENTZ for two 1s and two 2s.
We love Foles but he has to be kidding.

Polian’s trade proposal wasn’t the only hot take he had yesterday. Polian also suggested that 6^3 Lamar Jackson should move to wide receiver because he was too short to play quarterback.
Bill Polian said the Browns needed to consider Johnny Manziel (under 6 feet) at #4 overall in 2014.
Bill Polian said Lamar Jackson (Listed 6'3, probably really just under 6'2 or so) is too short.
We're gonna need to ignore Bill Polian on Lamar Jackson folks.

This is a tweet of Bill Polian telling the #Browns they "owe" it to the fans to draft Johnny Manziel who is 6-0, at 4th overall in the draft.
After no one else wanted him for 21 picks. Browns picked 22nd overall and he busted.
But for some reason Lamar Jackson is "short" at 6-3 https://t.co/nUjwCeghPk

Bill Polian has lost his mind is not making sense anymore but ESPN is going to keep trotting his ass on TV for the next few months until the NFL draft.
