If the Beats can trade Foles, this off-season would be a huge success which is such a wild swing of events from how their off-season started.
Realistically though, if they can’t trade him it’s not really a big deal

I'm no nick fools fan...but
Has Matt Moore ever win a playoff game
Ditto for fitzpatrick
Didn't fools dump truck keenum that year in the nfc title game
Has Matt Schaub ever not thrown 5 int in a playoff game
Matt cassell....thats funny
Fools was blah replacing Wentz most of that regular season and vs atl in the 1st playoff game but was.lights out vs the queens and pats in the nfc title and super bowl
That said.....he's not a guy you want leading a team for an extended period but has the ability to get hot in the short term and has shown he can do it in playoff football......are the jets anywhere neat that level right now?

The guys I listed were very comparable to Foles in the regular season. You are right, Foles was lights out in the playoffs. How do you know the guys I listed wouldn’t have been successful in the playoffs with that Eagles offense? We don’t know but I’m using other QBs comparable to Foles. I will always stand by my opinion that other backup QBs like Foles could have gotten the job done.

That is likely an option if they simply cannot move him and must eat all the money.
Can you imagine how much the offense would change if Foles had to come in for Fields… it would be literally 2 different playbooks.

I don't think that the issue is why he choose Foles, and then Dalton, the issue is why did Pace pay what he did? It's not the players so much it is the contracts Pace gave them. Overpaid for both.

2.5, but he took a small deal so he could live at home with his family during Covid. He was also a guaranteed backup.
No one, who is realistically inline to start a season is signing for 2.5,
2.5 is Mitch Trubisky money.

5 million is good backup money, you were not getting someone as your presumed starter for less than that.
Tyrod got one year worth up to 12, I think 7 base.

Fitz got 1 year 10
1 year 10 is what Cutler signed for in Miami when he came out of retirement.

Dalton was always destined to be a half a season bridge, even if the Bears did not luck into Fields, Pace would have taken a shot on the best Qb available. It was his only chance to save his ass.

Didn't they already have over 20 mill in cap space?

His run that year in the Super Bowl, was actually predictable. His MO leading up to the 2012 championship was to play poor or average during the regular season, relying on the blueprint you speak of (Run the ball and have great defense), but his playoff results have been pretty good.
However what he did during the Playoffs that year was magic in a bottle, never to be captured again.

Problem is you sign the guy at back up plus money to be, by the GM's word, the QB1. He is basically saying, you really suck and shouldn't play unless a competent QB gets injured, but we are going to give you twice what you are worth to make you the lowest paid non rookie deal QB starter in the NFL.
That was Pace's grand plan until ATL, DET, CAR, and DEN all fucked themselves hard.
He had a shitty starter above average backup in Foles and then signed a shitty starter above average backup in Dalton. Pointless waste of cap space.
