I really don't see Foles as being that much better of a prospect than Glennon. Big arm with at times subpar accuracy, but has talent to work with.


IIRC, Foles was an air raid guy in college and struggled with accuracy, which he seemed to do in Philly as well. However, it's extremely encouraging to see how he came along with Reid, in the fact that if we do take Geno, if he is a better prospect than Foles, what Reid can do with Geno.

I agree. Geno is a better prospect than Foles, and wil most likely turn into a better pro with good coaching., but I think Foles, under Reid would be as good or better than most the QBs in this draft. I just don't want to give up a 1st or 2nd for him.

He might be. Not sure I see it, but it could happen.



My biggest thing with Foles is his accuracy problems. Thats not generally something you can teach and get that much better at. You can improve it, with technique etc, but to a certain point, either you have it or you don't.

That and he struggled with overall accuracy in college, IIRC.


Frankly, I'm a little tired of inaccurate QB's. If we do take Foles, I'd like to see them play it a little like Flacco with that big arm.

He completed 60+ % ever year in college and then was 60.8% as a rookie. Are you seeing something I'm not?

Not understanding this inaccurate argument.

He was very much an underneath passer in college. When he tried to go past about 15 yards, he really fell to hell.

Foles is exactly the same guy he was in college and I had no reason in giving more than a 4th for him then. Now the 4th would be even higher and I'm still not willing to give more than that for him.

He's not bad; he has some tools. But he's inaccurate and he's probably going to stay that way.

4 of his 7 games he had over a 64% completion percentage. He had two bad games and two good games. I don't know, this could be what he is, but like I said, I've seen some recent 1st founders that didn't show the promise that Foles showed in albeit a small sample size.
