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
