A guy that was traded from the team he was white hot for the prior season (and had to have a 1st rounder included with him for Sam Bradford of all people). Plus arm talent? Christ, you guys want to act like he's some premier gunslinger all of the sudden.
Foles like to throw downfield...so have a lot of other quarterbacks that have shot their teams directly in the foot. For a team that relies on timing routes and horizontal passing and has been versed in that system for 3+ years now, putting a guy out there that isn't as in sync and isn't as accurate on short/intermediate throws isn't going to be beneficial against better teams and honestly won't gain you much against poorer teams in the long run.

Plus talent is better than average, not sure why you're stuck on that in particular... I'm not acting like its elite, but you're acting like he is some kind of friggin Ty Detmer noodle launcher
But you're on a roll with this subject today, so have at it... I guess Reid drafted Foles, then brought him here because he doesnt fit the scheme
