Foles = Alex Smith

[chip]

Nothing exciting, but dinks and dunks and gets the job done. Stupid Alex Smith is 5-0

[Anthony]

Yeah but he's definitely not for Chip.

Reid in Alex Smith, after all of these years has the FIRST QB that fits what FF does. With everyone else (except Garcia) AR was always trying to put a round peg in a square hole.

He was always trying to make a QB something he wasn't.

Not as good and the Eagles don't have the Chiefs defense.

Foles beat an 0-4 team and had a 9 point lead when he came in. He's decent but nothing special that I can see. Under pressure, he looks like Klob.

Give it time - Foles will be the starter for this team until then enjoy the Dog Killer running the ball and not scoring in the red zone as this team loses.

He reminds me of Joe Montana. But with a slightly weaker arm.

agreed.

unfortunately the Eagles do not have a defense that allows that kind of offense (even though they have the personnel more or less offensively)

[nerd]

i don't care who the qb is...as long as vick is gone after the year. he is so average it makes watching him painful.

he's completing 53% of his passes this year...and that is basically par for his career.

vick is one of those ford commercials. he's the sour chicken.

surprised with pryor from oakland...he actually looks pretty good and i thought he would stink.

Then again, i thought kaepernick would be amazing and he looks average. and he looks "meh".

foles has 8 less touchdowns in like 13 less games with less options.

The Eagles should have traded for him. I wanted him back when Chip got hired.

[BigSlizz]

Me too.

So the fact that he came in cold, and drive them from his own 7 all the way down 75 yards in the last 2 minutes means nothing??? OK.

The Foles haters on here just don't want to believe that Foles could turn out to be something, not to mention that the Giants, going in a halftime knew that they would be facing Foles in the second half.

I'm sure their D scheme changed knowing that they no longer had to contain (spy) the QB, if anything it should of made it harder for Foles to drive down the field in the second half.

Arm strength can be overrated. Even with a much weaker arm Montana was able to win 4 super bowls.

"Brooks said that Montana is a “long shot” whose downfall will be his weak throwing arm.

"It's going to be hard for him to transition to the next level," Brooks said. "His passes don't have zip. He has difficulty making pro throws."

[nerd]

i was actually bored and watched some college games of foles. on a few highlights he throws the ball 50+ in the air...one almost hit 60...i think that was against cal.

his arm is good enough. i think it's just after watching mcnabb and vick...everyone looks like ty detmer compared to them.

Koy Detmer had drives like that on his resume. Didn't make him an NFL starter.

Neither Vick or Foles (or Barkley) are the Eagles future. Doesn't matter to me who plays this season but the hating on Vick is as ridiculous as the worship of Foles. I guess it comes pretty much from the same people.

The eventual quarterback will be more like Vick than Foles. Gotta be able to run that read option.
