Foles won, but not with a great performance

[Maniac]

foles has done a generally nice job but i credit kelly more than foles. i'm not convinced at all they couldn't upgrade from foles at qb.

Like who?

Like who?

Has to be a running QB. Chips Offense can only work with a running QB. At least thats what I have been hearing since he has been signed... You know unless it is Chip that is doing the talking.

Like who?

like a more mobile qb with a stronger arm. you really don't think there are better qbs than foles?

[Squire]

I take it your NOT responding to my post, right?

Correct. Was responding to La Ref

Yes there are better QB's then Foles but if Foles plays Good to Great for the rest of the season why risk gambling a draft pick on a QB that MAY be better but has just as big of a chance to be much worse?

This is the BIGGEST difference I see between Kelly and Reid, for all of those years AR continued to put a square peg(hybrid QB) into a pocket passer role, it never really worked.

Now you have Kelly who in a relatively short period of time has figured out it is better to adapt your offense to your QB's strengths, then the way Reid was going about it.

That alone has me on CK's side.

There are.... but are they available? This draft is a crapshoot and I don't buy any of the qbs outside of bridgewater.

I'm sure there are more qbs that have stronger arms and are faster than brees...but sometimes good is good

[DJCon57]

I think also you have to put into play that we DESPERATELY need some playmakers on D

If we could get an actual playmaker on D with that 1st pick and go with Foles and grab QB in the 3rd/4th round. I'd prefer it actually....IF Foles finishes out his season strong.

Even Teddy has a bum knee...we want him running around in this offense with that knee?

Agreed. Chip Has stated in interviews he will coach to his players strengths and that he does not need a running QB. He drafted Barkley... a move that Screams I don't need a running QB. But everyone believes he needs a running QB. I don't get it

Not trying to get into a pissin contest over this, but nobody really knows just how much up side Foles has, it remains to be seen. As far as a QB that is more mobile and has a stronger arm? He's sitting on the Eagles bench right now, "better" is a relative term.

JMHO

please quit comparing foles to brees, brady, etc. it's stupid.

Why because he had a comparable start to those guys but you decided that there is no way he could possibly be that good ever?

[nerd]

No it's not. If that's where I think he can be and where we need him to be its not stupid. He's better than Alex Smith.... is that better?

I can compare him to whomever I want...brees was benched for doug fucking flutie... he should have been shit.
