EDIT: let alone different seasons and being an actual starter

What you are characterizing here in bold is NOT at all what I did.  

It's not that black and white and I didn't say that it would be. 

One of these two QBs gets the ball out quicker than the other and has a better completion percentage when pressured and blitzed. 
We can't quantify exactly how those numbers will be affected behind a different offensive line for Foles, but we can see that he has an edge in this general skill set. 

You aren't letting me have a damn thing, BTW. I'm just giving you information and you are struggling to process it.

Part of the issue with this article is the fact that it is comparing different teams. I see the stats but it almost seems like wishful thinking. One could argue that Philly’s receivers and linemen were superior or better coached. The receivers could have been better at reading blitz and running hot routes or were just better athletes. The linemen could’ve been better at their assignments or, once again, better athletes.  

I get that the league lives and dies on QB play and it is a fun position to watch but the QB is a very dependent position. They are far from being plug and play.  There’s always the chicken and egg thing. Can a QB make a line look better? Yes. Can a line make a QB look better? Also yes. Perhaps Minshew made the offensive line better with his scrambling. Or maybe Foles WILL make them better with decisive throws. Maybe Minshew misread coverages. However, those decisive throws don’t mean much if the receivers do not make the right reads and break off.

 I feel this entire article has to be read through rose colored homer glasses. It’s almost like a Brady vs Montana comparison in that you really cannot make that comparison accurately.
