Quote:I wish people would stop citing the 20 TD, 1 INT crap. Its pretty much similar to when Garrard had 19 TD's a 3 INT's that year. He got lucky during that time with many dropped INT's and Foles is too. 

 

In saying cousins would have better numbers than Foles in Kellys offense stop being so myopic and only defining that as beating the TD-INT ratio. I'm talking general across the board stats, like more TD passes, higher completion %, more yards, probably higher YPA (although Foles 9.0 is high itself), higher QB rating. 

 

Foles already has had a game in which fortune abandoned him and he was forced to rely on his natural ability and he & the Eagles got squashed back in October - vs the 32nd ranked pass defense, no less!!! He went 11-29, for 80 yards for the entire game!!!! During the season he's posted passing yardage numbers of 197, 80, 228, 237, and 179 for yardage totals. Game manager. Thats the real Foles. People that are giving more of the credit for Foles hot streak now to him than Kelly just don't understand what they are watching. Good thing that Greg Cosell does know what he's watching. In his film breakdown he called out Foles for what he is, and basically gave most of the credit to Kelly. 

 

You give Foles absolutely no credit at all, while still being sold on Ryan Mallett (for some reason, despite the fact that we know if he succeeded in that system [which he hasn't yet] that it'd be because of Belichick).  You're giving Chip Kelly way too much credit here.  Heck if Belichick can't get Mallett to succeed, what makes you think Fisch can?

 

Want to compare Garrard and Foles?  Garrard had almost half the TD% that Foles has.  That's what makes him not a game manager.
