Kid is just setting records left and right .... pretty soon they're gonna have to water the game down just to contain him.

Foles>Elway

I think its because he looks like the kid that would let his snot run down to his lip, and then lick it off, without batting an eye.

takes one to know one. I actually messed up when i was looking at raiders stats and mistook the raiders passing production per game for their defense...luckily none of the einsteins on this board noticed since instead they were trying to be cute. Their defense against the pass is about average, but 7td passes is still quite a feat. Anyway, i learned unknowingly that terrel pryor is not worth a crap as a passer.

Morons wanna say well that 7 td game was an aberration cause the Raiders pass defense is absolutely garbage. Oh really, Foles was the first guy to throw for over 300 yards against them when he threw for 350. Only 2 other qb's threw for over 200 and they were Peyton(293) and Luck(201). The Rest threw in the hundreds except for Big ben who was held to 82yds. Eli manning recently only threw for 106yds. Their team pass defense is not ranked that highl but neither is any other team that has faced the qb's the Raiders have faced.

Just except it foles has 16 td's in a few games and Vick only had 12 all of last year. Vick totally sucks!!!

Not sure if I have heard anybody bashing Foles. I have heard some in the media questioning whether he can truly become a long term starter in this league. I have heard some compare what he did to that of Flynn a few years back when he had a big game and everybody thought he was the next big free agent quarterback that was going to light the league on fire. We all know how that story ended.

Now to how Foles will do in his career I think he will find success. I wanted the Broncos to draft him instead of Osweiler later in the draft so I think the kid has a lot of promise and he is showing that on the field. We shall see what happens going forward though.

I bet you Foles is the starter for the next 3 years easy.

Foles doesn't hold a candle to Mike Glennon. I heard Mike Glennon was a ghost writer for Breaking Bad AND The Wire.

Knowledge is power, dude - I want to hear someone take a stand against that. lol

The best part about Flynn was he was playing against a Lions secondary that was so depleted one of the CB's was a 5th string WR.

To the OP, go ahead and like him. You don't have to make up scenarios where people "hate" on him to try to make the Eagles seem more relevant. Nobody is hating on him. You're looking to hype him up. Just do that and save the drama.

No it doesn't.

 

[LPinSLC]

No it doesn't.

Watch out for "I know you are but what am I?"

 

[Wazmankg]

This probably belongs on the Eagles board. Very few people aside from Eagles fans give a crap about Foles one way or the other.

 

[molsaniceman]

Well the skins pass D is worse than the raiders so foles should have another big day on sunday

 

[soulxflare]

Another stud performance. Another win.

The kid now has a 100+ QB rating in 5 of his 6 games this season. (130+ in 3 of them)

Well, disgusting as that may be, he is still doing pretty well. I had a cousin that did that. She turned out, well...

Ask people to name the best up-and-coming quarterbacks, the quarterbacks of the future, and you hear names like Kap, Luck, Newton, RG3, and Wilson (in no particular order other than alphabetical).

Ask people to name the already-elite quarterbacks in the NFL, and you hear names like Brady, Brees, Peyton, or Rodgers (in no particular order other than alphabetical).

But stats say that NICK FOLES blows them all away and is not just the best up-and-comer or best future quarterback, but already elite, and hands-down the best quarterback in the NFL.

Total yards are his only "low" stat, and they are low only because Vick was keeping Foles out of games in the first half of the season. Once you adjust yardage for attempts, the stat, like Foles's other stats, becomes sky-high:

yards per attempt 9.04: HIGHEST (#1) in the NFL

Next closest is Rodgers at 8.84.

passer rating 120.0: HIGHEST (#1) in the NFL

There are people already calling Peyton's year "the best quarterback season ever", and yet Peyton's supposed "best quarterback season ever", in second place at 114.5, is still worse than Foles.

TD/INT ratio 20:1 = 20.0: HIGHEST (#1) in the NFL

This is far and away the best TD/INT ratio. No one else is even close. By comparison, Brady is at 21:9 = 2.3, Brees is at 33:8 = 4.1, Peyton is at 45:9 = 5.0, and Rodgers is at 15:4 = 3.8.

Foles is on fire lately no doubt

but can he continue at this pace?



highly doubt it

 

[redseat]

Let's have him actually play a full season and put up good numbers before we compare him to anyone
