Sure thing!

St Louis under Jeff Fisher was where QB's went to die.  Don't take my word for it...look at real world scenarios - Case Keenum leaves there and takes the Vikings to the NFCCG.   Foles leaves and wins the Super Bowl as Super Bowl MVP with the Eagles. Fisher leaves and Goff all of a sudden looks good and takes the Rams to the Super Bowl.  Coincidence?  I don't think so. 

Foles will do well wherever he lands.  The guy can put up 30+ points a game with ease if he has at least some decent weapons around him.  He also likes to spread the ball around A LOT.  He will hit 7-8 different receivers on a regular basis.  He's also not scared to audible out of pass plays into run plays if he thinks a run will get good yards during his pre-snap reads.  I can't say this enough, he's a selfless player who puts his team first.  A true rarity in today's NFL.   I think he and John DeFilippo really like each other and work well together, so that seems like a very good fit in the making.

Makes sense.  I could see Foles, with good protection from a line of Cam Rob/Norwell/Linder/Insert RG Here/Richardson(?) spreading good balls to Lee, Chark, Cole, Fournette, ASJ(I still think he will be back), and possibly Jesse James as a dual threat TE tandem.  tReading about him last offseason, he was fully ready to hang it up and dive into divinity school and be a pastor and is currently working on his seminary degree now (shout out to my alma mater Liberty!).  Can't say enough about having a mature, level headed QB in the pocket.  I personally like the guy.  I hope he does well wherever he goes.
