Bears' Trade for Nick Foles Will End up Making All the Haters Look Stupid

Everyone seems to always turn their backs on Nick Foles.

Time and time again, he has proven to be the most unpredictable player in the NFL. He's gone from setting NFL records in a white-hot start and winning a Super Bowl in Philly, to losing his job to Gardner Minshew and being traded one offseason after he received a massive contract, sent to the Chicago Bears to be competition for Mitchell Trubisky.

If there's one thing Nick Foles has ever taught us, it's to never count him out, and he and the Bears are ready to make the haters look ridiculous once again.

With the way Trubisky underperformed in 2019, general manager Ryan Pace needed to spark some competition and light a fire underneath him. Foles was the perfect piece to allow him to do just that. Not only is Pace getting him for cheap, but Foles has shown elite ability often, generally when most firmly under the gun.

Foles is one of only a few quarterbacks to have thrown a record seven touchdowns in one game, he holds the touchdown-to-interception ratio single-season record, and he carried the Philadelphia Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl win. He has proven to be a very capable quarterback, and the only reason he was replaced by Minshew was because a broken collarbone limited him to four games in 2019, and threw off all his momentum in Duval County.

Foles might even be ahead of Trubisky already in the race for the starting quarterback spot at Soldier Field in 2020. Never count out Nick Foles, because it really seems like he will always prove you wrong.
