I'm still not sold on Foles as a great starting QB

[IronEagle]

but I have little doubt he >> Detmers.

Just stop with those comparisons. The guy is 6'5".

Kolb looked like Tom Brady one afternoon against Atlanta. Aberrations happen.

But Foles is showing something, and he's worth a long look before they commit to an expensive QB investment this offseason. Especially with so many glaring needs on defense.

[Maniac]

More of an Ace Feeley type. Tall white guy.

He's beat Tampa Bay twice. Does he have any other wins?

I say let him start against the Cowboys next week. And free admission to anyone wearing a sheet!

[Mississippi-Fan]

Not Great, Adequate for now;

Can he improve, with playing time, that is the question.
Only time and exposure will tell.
He is already a better passer than Vick will ever be, but can he be a superior QB in all Phases of the Game.

Is it impolite to point out that foles has played in 9 games.... started 7
And has completed over 60% of his passes and has more tds than ints.

And this was a d that held brees under twenty. Foles has had about 3 bad games....9 games played total.

Besides the problem is still the defense...dallas may hang 60 on them

Detmers were caca puree. Foles is more of a smoothie type.

2 wins as a starter. Is that impolite to mention?

It's not really a surprise that he's a more accomplished passer than Vick. He threw 60 times a game in college.

I'd start him next week. Big division game. Lets see how he does.

[nerd]

For a qb with 7 starts....nope...not at all. It's a shame he lost those games when the d played so well.

[slag]

Your agenda is still showing, despite your attempt to disguise it.

At the same time as getting the ball to Jackson plenty, he made Riley Cooper look like an NFL player today.

Something Vick hasn't been able to do all year.

He's Feeley ... yeah.

Amazing the only racists are those that are sooooooooooooo against Foles because hes white. You do understand racism can work both ways.

I dont give a fuck if a player is fucking purple if he is the better player he should start. Foles has been the better of the two when it comes to moving the ball in the air. This is a passing league. He just has what it takes mentally and physically to be the better qb.

Keep on watching sunshine he is going to make all you Foles bashers look stupid - 9 games if he continues to improve we have our qb of the future. He will make mistakes this is a learning season- this was a throw away season anyway until this defense gets fixed.

Sit back and enjoy sunshine it is October a lot of great football ahead of us.

This is not a major achievement. In fact, these days it's pretty mandatory for a QB to throw more TDs than Ints and complete greater than 60 percent of his passes.

I'm not against the idea of Foles being the starting QB for this team going forward if that's what the coach wants to do but let's not laud him for meeting the minimum expectations for an NFL QB.

[The Duck]

For a qb with 7 starts....nope...not at all. It's a shame he lost those games when the d played so well.

Would it be impolite to point out that Mike Vick has the same record in his last 7 starts? And in one of his two wins, Foles played more than half of the game.

[Melchior]

Well, Vick should stop giving Foles chances to put up 133.3 passer rating games if he wants to keep starting.

Edit: Also, letting him throw DJax 2 TDs just helps his standing in the locker room.

Vick is well under 60% (53.8%)

[nerd]

Actually for a guy with 7 starts? By that reasoning Vick is below minimum. He's at 53% this year. And wisdom and crapernick both benefit because of their defenses. I would prefer to see what foles can do.... for a full season than watch the same old vick.

Like.... what if you miss out on foles being good? I would rather find out now and then decide qb or defense next year.
