Quote:Had he come out as a junior??? LOL, his best season in college was by far his senior one. If he had come out as a junior he'd have been lucky to be drafted with those pedestrian production to that point. 

 

He had one season in college that I would label "highly productive". Garrard could sling it 50 yards in the air too, and sport completion pct over 60% even as a pro - didn't make him anything more than a game manager. 

While Foles built on his success as a senior, he would have been drafted even higher as a junior due to his upside, much like our own Blaine Gabbert.

 

It's a good lesson on why staying in school isn't necessarily a bad idea.

 

As for "game manager", you're aware Foles has already eclipsed Garrard's excellent 2007 season in the half season he's played, don't you?  And that he's only in his 2nd full season?  I know that doesn't fit your "Head coach is the most important" agenda that you've been pushing here for years, but these are the facts:

 

FACTS

 

Nick Foles' performance is one of the key reasons the Eagles are a couple wins away from a playoff berth.  The guy's good.  You were wrong about him at the beginning of the year, and you're wrong about him now.
