Late Night Bullshit: Where would we be with Foles?

[Titty Meat]

Alex Smith has flirted with an MVP season. Foles looked great in relief of Wentz last week.


Last year Foles looked amazing vs Indy and struggled against a good Jaguars defense.

What would this team have gone last year had they stuck with Foles I've Alex? What would their record be with Foles as the starter this year? Keep in mind this team could have signed Foles to be the starter for half the cost of Alex.

[007]

nowhere

[Nickhead]

if foles were better than alex foles would have started. foles playing for the non concussed alex was a benching to wake up smith. other than that he is there for emergency use only. hence why he is starting and not chase daniel. :D

No worse than missing numerous wide-open receivers, taking a lot of gratuitous sacks, and checking down more plays than necessary.

IOW, good (and connected) enough to keep playing but not win playoff game, but not bad enough to replace.

[Ming the Merciless]

1 playoff in in 5 years?

is that the o/u?

[TribalElder]

Disappointed

[eDave]

Exactly the same.

[New World Order]

Exactly the same.

This

In Kansas City

[HemiEd]

Lost me on your first line. Foles did not look amazing in the relief of Wentz, in fact the difference was dramatic. Yeah, he got the job done but he didn't look amazing.

[Why Not?]

6-10 for 42 yards. Very Smithian

Yep, he didn't lose the game for them but a couple of his throws had me concerned since I had a couple thousand CP dollars on the Eagles. . :D

[New World Order]

We probably lose to NE and Houston with Foles but win the NYG and Buffalo games.

[thabear04]

Foles nearly almost lost to the jags last season.

[TeaQue]

You guys are insane if you think we would being doing anything but worse with Foles over Smith.

[Bwana]

Over the cap.

[BlackHelicopters]

Who?

[jspchief]

Better Mahomes than Foles

It doesn't work like that in KC unfortunately

[staylor26]

Foles hardly looked “great” last week. Not bad, but I definitely wouldn’t call his performance great by any means.

[Eleazar]

Alex Smith has flirted with an MVP season.

He "flirted with it" for about 5 weeks.

[mcaj22]

Foles nearly almost lost to the jags last season.

and? Alex has lost to some pretty terrible garbage teams this year, whats his excuse?

[Titty Meat]

Better than any performance by a Miami QB this season tho

[Reerun_KC]

Alex flirting with MVP? That was a train wreck worth watching.

[JakeF]

Alex Smith > Nick Foles

[hometeam]

Foles is still the best backup in the league. I would start him over a handful of guys as well.

[O.city]

Foles is a good backup

[ModSocks]

Where would we be? We'd be starting Mahomes right now, that's where.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Dumbfucks

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

5-8?

[staylor26]

Not really. Rosier sucks, but he had some good performances due to the talent around him.

[RippedmyFlesh]

5-8?

That sounds about right. Foles is one of the best backups and may be better than some starters and put up big numbers early in his career. But smith wins a couple more than foles. Not saying much though that your starter is slightly better than the league's best backup.

[Deberg_1990]

7-6

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Taking a dump while simultaneously talking to that one relative you can't stand.

[Reerun_KC]

Well at least he can beat the Giants.

[jjchieffan]

Foles looked good today. Threw some nice passes into tight coverage.

[Chiefshrink]

Yep. Pederson was smart to sign him because they don't miss a beat.

Awaiting Mahomes 1st start just like we are now. Except we wouldn't be expecting to get a good picture trading Foles like we are with Smith.

I feel like he started against Dungver. But maybe I was just dreaming...

[JakeF]

Foles looked like shit in KC under our QB genius.

[Hammock Parties]

Foles looked like shit in KC under our QB genius.

Wrong.

He had one very good game, and one below average game, which we still won, in the same fashion we won a lot of Alex's games in KC.

The two TD passes Foles threw from distance tonight are throws Alex never even attempts. He's running on both throws due to pressure/perceived pressure.

I dunno where this team would be with Foles instead of Alex, but I've NEVER seen him try to take off running like a dumbass from clean pockets, which killed our fucking season.

We won one playoff game in five seasons with ASS11. Foles has won two in one season.

It is what it is.

Smith was a fucking waste, Foles might have been, too, but I bet he wouldn't have cost this team as much.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

A good game against the Colts is something we are bragging about now? Fucking Clay

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Yep. Pederson was smart to sign him because they don't miss a beat.

Pederson looks like a genius right now. This is exactly why QB depth is so important, especially one that understands the system

Started season lol. You know what I meant.

Fucking Tiger.

****ing Tiger.

Alex Smith is the 3rd winningest QB over the last 5 seasons.

Where does Foles rank?

Enjoy your ban you dumb *****.

[Red Dawg]

Foles would have beat the Titans. Alex is trash and Foles just beat a real defense. Alex doesn't do that.

Post season accomplishments trump regular season.

You still don't get it.

Foles > Tony Romo.

QB's to have played in a SB in the last 5 years...

Tom Brady
Matt Ryan
Peyton Manning
Cam Newton
Russell Wilson
Joe Flacco
Colin Kaepernick

... and soon to be Nick Foles.

Notice a key omission?

Who gives a **** about winning % when you haven't actually won shit. 1 conference championship appearance in ****ing 13 years. Suck a dick.

[RunKC]

Tiger triggered bc Alex’s backup is in the SB. But hey Alex has experience watching his former backup starting in a SB.

Yes. Every QB who was starting for Andy Reid.

An army of one.

To be fair he doesn’t run because he’s slower than me. But yeah. Whatever. I do think Smith is better than Foles but when Foles is on he can sling it

[Coogs]

Smith did have his NFC Championship game appearance. 1-13 on 3rd down in a narrow loss. Had some weapons too. Crabtree, Davis, and Gore. O-line was considered one of the best too.

[Red Dawg]

Bum is the name for Smith. That's what a QB is when they can't beat good teams. Smith is way to inconsistent to win anything. He goes to sleep in games and you lose when you need to win in the playoffs

[BigRedChief]

if Mahomes was the QB of the Vikings, they'd scored 100 points.

[oldman]

We'd probably be in the same place we are now, sitting at home, watching some other teams, and bitching about it. Even Foles knows he's going to be the back up next year.

You have a link for this? He’s backup and where?

[007]

We would be nowhere with foles. Just like we are nowhere with smith. My fear is being nowhere with mahomes, because I'm starting to believe Reid is the real problem.

This isn't me saying Alex is ok now. I still think he is gutless and plays it too safe. We are seeing a trend with Andy now and is truly horrifying.

[stumppy]

The same place we're at now. Until Andy butt fucking moron Reid is gone this is where we will stay.

[PunkinDrublic]

I’m convinced Andy Reid would still find a way to fuck it up. We’ve added play makers to this offense every fucking year and he still finds ways to go into a shell and go three and out with these chickenshit horizontal play calls when we have the opportunity to put games away. Tennessee was ready to give up, you could see their defensive players frustration. Suddenly the Chiefs go into a shell and it totally seemed to give them confidence.

I don't have this fear with Mahomes. The offense looked different with Mahomes in Denver. Now the plays were the same, but it was how Mahomes attacked it. He throws to an open Harris. Smith doesn't/won't at a critical time against the Titans. Mahomes throws to the open Hill sprinting past the Steelers defense in the playoffs because he sees it pre snap. Smith won't throw it because "it's not in his progression of reads". With Mahomes we attack downfield when the defense jumps offsides. With Smith we take the free five yards. Third and long. Mahomes throws to the sticks. Smith checks it down.

I don't fear Andy turning Mahomes into Smith. Andy has said he wished he could have had Smith earlier in his career. He knows he can't fix Alex. He can't t make Alex into Mahomes.

[chiefzilla1501]

It's not really Foles' call to make. If Philly wants to keep him, and they might if Wentz is not 100%, they might with the thought that he will be backup when he returns. No way Philly would ever consider starting Foles over Wentz.

Wouldn't be surprised if the eagles make Foles prime trade bait at the trade deadline next year.

Yes

[oldman]

It was a question and answer in an Erin Andrews interview with him during the pre-game show yesterday. I'm guessing he meant in Philly.

[SuperBowl4]

Andy Reid was HC of the Eagles when they drafted FOLES. The next year Chip Kelly became HC in Philly he said (Foles) he was the starting QB for the next 1,000 years here (Philly)

[SuperBowl4]

I’m convinced Andy Reid would still find a way to **** it up. We’ve added play makers to this offense every ****ing year and he still finds ways to go into a shell and go three and out with these chickenshit horizontal play calls when we have the opportunity to put games away. Tennessee was ready to give up, you could see their defensive players frustration. Suddenly the Chiefs go into a shell and it totally seemed to give them confidence.Andy like to play a close game. Reid would never have ran up the score yesterday if in that position

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

This isn't me saying Alex is ok now. I still think he is gutless and plays it too safe. We are seeing a trend with Andy now and is truly horrifying.

If he's now in complete control, we are most definitely fucked.

[SuperBowl4]

FOLES will probably put up another seven TD game vs. the Patriots in the Super Bowl but the ref's will go flag happy and take them away. The players play and the Ref's are the directors of the plays. They decide the outcome.
