You assume he'll throw it deeper more often. I don't think so. From the beginning of the Indy game you knew that Reid wanted to get vertical, so our plays downfield were by design, not simply a product of Foles coming onto the field.

The Jaguars field a better defense. Foles had all day to throw against Indy. He won't have that much time against the Jags.

Personally, i think our offense will look the same. And if it does, what does that say about Alex?

What does that say about Reid?

What i want to know is: Is Alex simply a product of Reid's system? If we can throw a guy like Foles in and have the same success or more, i think that's an indication that system is good, not necessarily the QB. If Foles stinks it up, it's a good case for Alex, not necessarily the system.

Remember AJ Feely? Kevin Kolb? He made those average/below average QB's look good enough to entice other teams. He actually got good production out of guys like Vick and Jeff Garcia. What happened to McNabb after he left Reid? Complete flop.....

Remember why Tyler Bray wanted to be a Chief? "Reid gets QB's paid"...

So lets see on Sunday.
