Our (I said Our) QB lead the league in passer rating
"Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles saved one of his worst games for last. Once again, his stat line (23-for-33 passing, 195 yards through the air, 2 TD passes) looks better than he played. He struggled to pull the trigger on a number of throws and held the ball too often."-Greg Rosenthal
Your hero has flaws, deal with it.
Foles is not an elite QB, but he showed enough where the Eagles can focus elsewhere during the offseason. That is the key point.
The extent of you argument appears to be "Greg Rosenthal" is a quality objective writer.
Yes, I say Bawahahahahahahaha!
Yes, myself, yourbuddy Greg, Ray Didinger, Brian Westbrook, Ed Rendell and the entire national media have concocted a conspiracy against Nick Foles. Sounds Legit.

Foles is too young to tell what the team has in him. Might get a lot, lot better. Might have already peaked and defenses will play him differently going forward and he'll never be as good as he was in 2013.
I like him because you can't coach 6'5" or whatever he is. Have to assume he'll get better, but you never know.
There's just something goofy about Foles that doesn't add up to being the prototype great QB. He has a pretty low glamour quotient. Hard to imagine him being a national spokesman for some big corporation. Maybe that's a good thing.

His father has been very successful outside of football. Perhaps Foles doesn't feel the need to be a spokesman for a big corporation.
John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.
Well I think Ed Rendell articulated my point well.
"Quarterback Nick Foles turned out to be a keeper - smart, accurate and courageous. He might not be the next Tom Brady, but he is every bit as good as Eli Manning, who led the Giants to two Super Bowl wins. One thing Nick needs to improve on for next year is that he simply cannot hang on to the ball so long and take sacks or intentional-grounding penalties. He and Kelly seem obsessed with the touchdown-to-interception ratio, and, as a result, Foles throws only to receivers who are wide open. The truly great quarterbacks try to make difficult throws in crucial situations. Drew Brees and Andrew Luck were both intercepted twice in the first half of their playoff games last week, and both led their teams to comeback wins. And besides all this, it's OK to throw the ball out of bounds downfield when you have a receiver anywhere near the sideline. "-Ed Rendell
Has it ever occurred to you, or Ed Rendell, or Greg Rosenthal, that maybe the Eagles WR's kind of blew a lot of the time in those last two games? Maybe they ran wrong routes and weren't where they were supposed to be or just plain got beat be D backs?
I think the receiver group is sometimes overwhelmed by the better D backs in the league who know how to scheme for them and play physical.
