Nick Foles either strongly believes in himself or he is choosing to ignore a bunch of recent moves by the Eagles. The Eagles brought back Michael Vick, signed Dennis Dixon and recently worked out Geno Smith.<\/p>\n

Needless to say the moves have put a large question mark on the status of Foles going forward.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I do. I wouldn’t be here right now if I didn’t, I think I’d be somewhere else,” Foles told reporters Tuesday, via USA Today<\/a>. “Yeah, I believe I fit here, I want to be here, I love this team and I love this city, so this is where I want to be.”<\/p>\n

On the surface the style of Foles does not mesh with the one that new coach Chip Kelly plans to instal. Kelly used a bunch of read-option looks while coaching at Oregon and Foles is more of traditional pocket passer.<\/p>\n

A trade to Kansas City seemed like an option for a while with former Eagles coach Andy Reid taking over but those reports were dashed by the Chiefs acquired Alex Smith.<\/p>\n

Foles told reporters he can do anything that Kelly asks of him.<\/p>\n

“That’s any quarterback. If you want to be a quarterback in this league or Pee-Wee, you’ve got to believe, ‘Hey, I’m the guy,'” Foles said. “If you think you’re going to be a backup, you’re going to be a backup.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
