I really want the Chiefs to start Foles. I really really do.

What stats are those? Outside of his 2013 year, they are pretty dismal.

He should have shut down Taco Bell, ordered 178 tacos, and ate himself in to a coma.

Would have been more productive.

I remember Elvis, he was sexy

Nick Foles:

Alex Smith:

I don't think just because some of us aren't jumping immediately on the Foles bandwagon that it means we are afraid. It just isn't as obvious as past QB situations have been here. I was 100% for Gannon starting over Grbac. I was 100% for starting anyone over Matt Cassel. But sitting here at 5-2, with a developing team situation where the defense has great stretches, but is clearly missing core features, and has stretches that make me cry, having an offense that protects the ball is a very good thing. Did I like Foles? Yes. Will I be happy to see him if Smith isn't healthy? Yes, what a luxury. Am I ready to cast Smith out? No. I may change my tune if I get to see Foles more and his risks are demonstrated to be less than anticipated, but I'm not going to be upset either if Smith starts this week and we keep on the current course. That's not being afraid. That is being really happy we have two nice QBs, neither one of whom are likely ever going to be a top 10 talent, so I'm not going to drool over either one of them.

spot on

IIRC, isn't that guy dead?

Thats not what I found....look at the numbers..and thats with a god awful 2012 PHI team AND the horrid 2015 lambs. These are career stats. If foles is "god awful" pray tell, what is smith?

You mean these stats?


Comp %

60.5 vs 61.3

TD %

4.4 vs 3.9

INT%

2.2% vs 2.2%

YPC

11.9 vs 11.0

YPA

7.2 vs 6.7

YPG

225 vs 195

QBR

88 vs 85

Sack %

5.5 vs 8.1

BUT TEH DEEEEP THROWS!!!

Better yards per game, yards per attempt, sacks per drop back, touchdown %, quarterback rating, yards per completion

all while maintaining a similar completion % and int % rate

Sooo, not a real huge difference between the two. Dismal may have been too strong of a description. And I never said "god awful"

As long as those people are primarily concerned with Fantasy points and not W-L record.

All 8 of you.

oh sorry , you said "dismal"

and yes theres a difference in most of the stats, with foles having better stats with very little downside...

so again, if Foles has been 'dismal' how would you describe SMith after comparing them side by side and asking "what stats?" and been showed the stats...

There isn't even ONE person who's judgment I'd trust before Andy Reid.
