I watched a ton of Foles in 2012-2014...when he was with the Eagles. I remember watching the first snap he played at QB in 2012. He failed to score or move the ball the first couple-few drives and the ruthless Philly fans ALREADY began to boo him...after 2-3 series into his ROOKIE CAMPAIGN!!!! I couldn't believe it. It made me think, for a brief second, that there may be a sports team out there with worse fans than the Cubs.
Philly fans didn't boo him much in 2013.... 27 TD's, 2 INT's in 13 games played....historical numbers....if he would have played 16 games at the rate he was going at that year, that would have been one of the most historic seasons ever played by a QB.
And the dude looked good doing it in 2013. It didn't come off as a fluke. It appeared legit...he really made some legit, "WOW" plays that year and was so smart.
I wonder why he dipped a bit in 2014 and 2015? The guy is capable of doing big things, I am 100% confident in that and I feel as if his 2013 campaign already proved his capability. Maybe things have to be very specifically set in order for him to excel...like certain pieces HAVE to be in place, otherwise he goes from being an elite QB to an average one? Whatever the case...he is capable of great things....unless something happened between 2013 and now that left him irreversibly pussified...
