So what do you prefer?

Foles didn't do enough to win the job, IMO...

Shut the fuck up you are clueless

Vick is done. Foles comes off the bench and played a good game as the back up.

The only success Vick has is when he runs and we see what eventually happens.

Give Foles a chance. Shouldn't have anything to do with Vick being hurt or not. He is just bad.

Vick under center= the team will lead the league in rushing, big plays over 20 yards, frequent stalls in the redzone.


or


Foles under center= tightends are more involved, McCoy isn't as effective, the passing game is more consistent. Less big plays.

Whose involved and who isn't comes down to play-calling more than who the quarterback is.

Foles played well on his first drive and then late in the game. But I think the game got away from the Giants defense once Eli started tossing the ball up. Looked like they had that "not this shit again" feeling to most of the 4th quarter.

Bingo.

Its hard to evaluate his play against the giants Dee, because of the Slack jaw picks. If Vick is healthy next week, he has to start.

Why does Vick HAVE to start? Kind of a throwaway season. Let's see what the young dorky guy can do.

Vicks continues to start if it is the plan to evaluate this season and not put to much pressure on the kid out of the shoot with the new offense.

If Vick loses the start but he is declared healthy, they should have started Nicky Flows game one.

I don't think Vick has played bad enough to lose the starting position, and I don't think Nick showed enough to take it today.

When we play the cowgals, who do you want under center?

If he starts Nick next week, he might as well start Barkley in December and do a total qb evaluation.

Especially when you consider that Vick's next injury is as much of a foregone conclusion as this injury was.

Combine that with the other factors (age, declining skills, height, piss poor decision making, a career of terrible habits he's never been able to overcome), and it makes no sense to have him on a rebuilding team, let alone make him the default, no-questions-asked starter. To listen to some fans and commentators, you'd think the team owes the guy a starting job.

Whether or not Foles is the answer is secondary. The fact that there's a question to be answered regarding Foles is all the reason they need to keep him in there. There is no question about Vick. He's already been all he's ever going to be. There's nothing to be learned by giving him another snap. He serves no purpose whatsoever.

[AthensEagle]

I agree with your first sentence completely. I will render my decision on the Cowboys game when the time comes. Next week, start Foles. Either let him develop into something, or give him enough rope to hang himself.

[AthensEagle]

Hmmm. Agreed. I hope it makes for somewhat interesting football if it goes that route. Unfortunately the Defense is the elephant in the room. The QB 'controversy' is something for the media to talk about.

[3rd & Inches]

It just doesn't make since to make an offense perfect for Vick's strength's and then not use him. But Duck brings up an excellent point, if Vick isn't the future, then why was he named the starter?

I can only assume that Charles doesn't think that Nick is the future starter. Part of me has been fluffing Vick because I think he gives us the best chance to win, but obviously this first year has to be about evaluation.

Foles wasn't shabby by any means but Vick has to start if he's able to play. It's not as simple as giving Foles a shot because he looked alright. Vick won the job in the preseason and has been the triggerman for an offense moving the ball almost at will.

If Vick was out for 3 games and Foles played well in relief, it might be a different story. But you want the team feeling good about how they're playing and how the coach respects his players. Yanking Vick in favor of Foles over a good half-plus against a winless team would be a terrible idea.
