I like Foles too. He was very good in Philly. Look at the Eagles now? He was a lot better then Bradford. I thought he could be a star but the Rams problems on offense would have hurt any QB. Hopefully Welker can help him turn it around.
The Rams benched Foles.
The Foles situation is hard to figure. Some observations.
In 2012 the scouting reports said Foles had good accuracy in the short and intermediate range but not on the deep ball.
He had one of the greatest seasons ever by a quarterback in 2013.
In 2013 he was one of the most accurate quarterbacks both short and deep.
In 2015 he has had poor accuracy short but good accuracy in the intermediate range.
In 2015 he's been one of the best passers off of play action but one of the worst out of the shotgun.
Foles is said to throw slants well but the Rams don't seem to use that pass too much.
This year Foles played great against Seattle and Arizona, two teams with good defenses.
Foles had a statistically bad game against Chicago, one of the worst pass defenses in the league.
St Louis has one of the worst pass blocking lines in the league, left tackle Greg Robinson is awful.
The Rams receivers are bad, though they will improve with the addition of Wes Welker.
The Rams seem to have a good running back in Todd Gurley.
I find it hard to believe that a player who had the kind of season Foles had in 2013 doesn't have the talent to be a decent starter.
I think the Rams need to upgrade the receiving corps and offensive line and get a new offensive coordinator.
Some rumors on Caste Football's favorite "fringe" player:
Eagles coach Doug Pederson is "interested" in bringing Nick Foles back to Philadelphia, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The quarterback wheels are spinning in Philly. Schefter reported Sunday the Eagles are no longer planning to place the franchise tag on Sam Bradford and now it looks like Pederson is gearing up for a reunion with Foles. Pederson was the Eagles' quarterback coach when the team drafted Foles in 2012. Foles is coming off a dreadful year in St. Louis but the $7.75 million he'll make in 2016 ($1.75 million base salary plus a $6 million roster bonus) is far less than what Bradford will sign for in free agency. It's unclear what the Rams would be looking for in a trade for Foles.
Any opinions on the new backup QB for the Eagles, Nate Sudfeld? I checked out a video and it looks like he can really sling it. I became interested because there is clamoring for the Eagles to sign Kaepernick.
Highlights (No rap music for this one, refreshing):
I was high on Nick Foles when he came out in 2012. Then he had one of the greatest seasons ever in 2013. The leftists in the mainstream media hated him because he was white, blond, rich, successful and a Christian. This made me like him even more.
Foles never got the credit he deserved for 2013, regardless of how has he played since then.
I'm interested to see how he does in the future. Will he develop into a consistently elite player?
One reason I hope he does well is because it would stick in the craw of the white hating leftists in the mainstream media.
I bolded parts of of a post I made in November of 2015. This post is still relevant. The mainstream media is still hoping for Foles to go away because he's white, rich, blonde and a Christian - all things they hate.
Nick Foles had a great game against the Vikings and is heading to the Super Bowl. He was written off by the mainstream media as quickly as they were able to do it but he didn't go away. They can't write him off right now because he played great. But they won't forget. For the rest of his career certain members of the media will be looking to tear him down any way they can. They never give up.
Foles and keenum > manuel and smiff.
These godless, anti-White miscreants that you speak of are typically Leftist Jews and those influenced by them. Period. Screw them all the way to hell.
The media here in the ussa is Leftist agenda-driven drivel propagated by hell-bound miserable twits who have no life, no stability in their godless souls.
Propaganda is all they know. They hate us if we are White, but they hate us especially if we embrace the God of the Bible (Foles is guilty of both), simply because they hate Him. Their damnation will be most fitting.
I saw today he hopes to go into the ministry after football.
Pro Football Focus did their final rankings of quarterbacks in 2017. They rated both Brett Hundley and Deshone Kizer as being better quarterbacks than Nick Foles.
How accurate are their ratings? Are they biased against white players?
Final NFL QB Rankings by PFF Player Grades, 2017 | NFL Analysis ...
Tyrod Taylor, Dak Prescott, Mariotta, and Jameis Winston were all rated higher than Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, and Derek Carr. Blake Bortles was also rated higher than Cousins, Goff, and Carr. I am not buying it. This system is flawed. Maybe having a good defense is one of the factors in this QB rating system.
