Chiefs The case for Nick Foles

Quote:

In Foles last four games he completed 61.4 percent of his passes for 1,157 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.

That's not too bad.

Foles was third string through most of training camp (moved to 2nd string after playing well in the preseason games) so it would make sense that he would improve quite a bit with some actual playing time.

Quote:

Much has been made of his W/L record as a starter last year in Philadelphia. The Eagles had 4th quarter leads against Carolina and Dallas, were tied with Dallas in their other game and came within five yards of tying the Redskins to end their second game. Simply looking at the final score doesn't give you the whole story and context of what happened.

But I read right here on CP that all of Foles stats came in blowout losses.

If the Chiefs were able to get Foles and a 2nd for swapping 1sts with the Eagles, who do you take at #4? Patterson? The best remaining QB?

Foles has a responsibility to win in spite of his horrendous defense.

At least that's what we've been told when it comes to Geno Smith.

Or are we just going to throw out all pretenses of objectivity and fairness?

Don't lump me in with those folks. I'm all in with drafting Geno.

However, I was a big fan of Foles and pushed for him last year, so I am still good with that option. If the Chiefs aren't going to take Geno, that's my next favorite option.

I know, I was just messing with you.
