I'm still not sold on Foles as a great starting QB
What agenda? That comparison isn't an insult. Fairly generous really. Feeley won a lot more games. Foles also has a guy who can call plays running the offense. Feeley didn't. Reid would have never been smart enough to run the clock out on the ground at the end of the game.
Overall I think Foles is generally one dimensional and the offense needs a true dual threat QB. But no question he has a better feel for the passing game than Vick and he played well today.
I seriously would start him next week. And if Foles puts a few wins in a row together, I'll re-evaluate.
“I am going to literally sodomize you on the field of battle. I am going to have non-consensual sex with your face and your butt. Then I’m going after your wife and kid”

You are twisting into a pretzel trying to use stats in a vacuum to find fault with Foles.
The guy basically is most important player in this two game winning streak ... has shown way more than I expected to see ... yet you look for reasons to see half empty.
Nobody thinks Foles is the answer yet, but a lot of us want Vick on the bench even more now.
Vick may run for more yards when Foles will have to throw it away or take a sack, but if you keep the pressure off Vick it's a toss up as to whether he'll find an open man if that guy isn't the primary.
You keep Foles upright ... he completes a motherfucking pass ... often for big yardage.
Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.
i don't think wins exactly qualifies as a stat but whatever.
they were up two scores last week when he came in. he was hardly the most important player in that win. the defense came through. or maybe sheli was the most important player.
and i said that foles is pretty good when you keep him clean and i would start him next week. i'm sorry if i'm not kissing his ass beyond that to your satisfaction yet.
Foles is what we thought he was. He's a competent nfl quarterback. But nothing special about him. Not convinced he's a franchise type QB. He's not Andrew Luck.
Not convinced Vick is a franchise QB anymore either, but he clearly won the QB competition over the summer and is still the better option this season.
Soon as he came in, he drove them from the fucking 7 in a minute and a half for a FG.
In the second half, McCoy lost 6 on 3d and fucking 2 when the Eagles were moving on the first drive.
Then the Vagiants scored 14 on two straight drives, sandwiched around the only 3 and out Foles had from shit field position because of a false start on Peters and a garbage run for minus 1 by Brown.
As soon as the Vagiants went up by one, Foles drove them down the field to re-take the lead with FG.
Then on the turnover, he threw a great pass to Celek with the game still in doubt.
And threw another great pass to cement it to Jackson.
To which you posted after the game: the Vagiants defense was demoralized and made it easy on Foles despite only being down 1 and down 8.
The three interceptions were not run back for scores.
Foles put the fucking ball in the endzone.
This is silly. The interceptions were huge. If the Vags go down and score on those possessions like they did on the first two drives of the second half, it's a different game.
However I have said umpteen times, Foles should start over Vick next week. On merit, okay? I don't get what more you want. I don't believe he's the best possible QB for Kelly but if he wins a bunch of games, I could change my mind.
Alex Smith won a lot of games for Harbaugh and he still made the switch to a more mobile QB.

A mobile QB with a higher completion percetage then vick. Having legs does not matter when you are close to a 50% passer
