I am open to contending the same for Foles' early years of ugly results. I have to phrase it this way, because I have not watched enough of Foles' years as a pro to really commit to any conclusions of him.
That seems consistent and fair.
Now, on to the hypocrisy that HAS been or likely WILL be exposed :
Others have dismissed the valid reasons/contributions for Smith.. repeatedly.
Soon, we can really see if they do the same for Foles... or if they suddenly change these set rules for the QB because his name is not Smith.
That would then be inconsistent, unfair, and hypocritical.

It's not a mystery. Happened in the 90s with Grbac and Gannon, although I was too young to chronicle. Happened early on with Green. Hell, happened with Huard. It will always happen. For a Chiefs fan, this isn't a mystery and needs no solving. Foles will get a lot of leeway early, but it will change over time to exactly what Smith gets. Exactly what the rest got. Hard to blame some for losing perspective, having been Chiefs fans for their entire life.
