5 nfl teams selected quarterbacks in the first round of the nfl draft last week hoping to find a leader who can guide them to a super bowl victory sometime soon. not the philadelphia eagles, though. they are in the unique (uncommon) position of having two proven winners at the quarterback position: the # 2 pick in the 2016 draft, starter (starts the game) carson wentz and backup (plays if the starter can’t)/super bowl mvp nick foles.

foles has had an up and down journey (trip, experience)to the top. a usa today article by dan wolken had this headline after the eagles won super bowl xlii
however, wolken also recognizes
this meme is a great example of barely, claim, actually and how to measure height in feet. do u get it?
i think the big thing is don’t be afraid to fail. in our society today, with instagram and twitter, it’s a highlight. it’s all the good things. when u look at it, u have a bad day, u think your life isn’t as good, you’re failing. failure is a part of life. it’s a part of building character and growing. without failure, who would u be? i wouldn’t be up here if i hadn’t fallen thousands of times, made mistakes. we all are human. we all have weaknesses….we might be in the nfl and we might have just won the super bowl, but we all have daily struggles.

it’s common to be asked about your strengths & weaknesses in a job interview. (itjobcafe.com)
because foles is the eagles’ backup quarterback, there has been speculation about his future with the team. espn.com reported that he received a $2 million dollar raise for next season and that
he wasn’t worried about trade rumors as it’s not worth worrying about something he can’t control.
and foles said
do I want to lead a team again? absolutely, but am I trying to run away and do that right now? well if it presents itself and that works out, then fine, i’ll live in that moment. but at the same time, i’m so grateful to be a part of this organization.
as in this context is because. not worth worrying about means that worrying is not productive. run away means escape. work out is happen. grateful means thankful.
the odds are against a backup quarterback leading his team to a win at the super bowl, but it worked out for foles and eagles head coach doug pederson (right). [ap photo/matt slocum]
