I'm a streaky guy. I had a pretty good run of WRONG some years, back but I am currently on a pretty impressive win% of correctness.
I don't know how long that's going to last but I have a gut feeling that a first round pick is going to be spent on a quarterback either this offseason or the next

I can just feel it.

just about all this. Glad to have him over Bray but he's not better than Alex Smith.

Foles was a guy I really wanted to draft but I'm glad we didn't spend a high draft pick on him
He's not terrible but he's not somebody I want to Hitch my wagon to either.

I was a big QB guy until today. In this system in wouldn't waste the picks on a QB. No way no how.

Stop blaming Reid.

I'd handle most of his flaws if he fixed the red zone issues. Way too many headscratching play calls down there.

K, so what's your point if you just said he isn't an improvement and lucked out not being intercepted twice?

He tries to "outthink" the opposing DC's.

He can do this because his defenses, historically, are capable of making up the difference.

That said, I always cringe when they're in the Red Zone.

Punting stretches the field? Because if you go 1 for 13 on 3rd, that's what you are going to be doing.

Welcome to today's NFL.

The Jets and Broncos are starting 7th rounders. The Browns a 3rd rounder, as are the Seahawks.

I could go on and on (Brady, hello!) but the bottom line is that QB's a found everywhere.

Stop with the obsession.

No offense but that's just dumb as ****.

Yes.

Sometimes you just need to line up and whip ass like Shields on Lewis.

I kinda' hope you're wrong, because I've yet to see or be informed of talent worthy of that pick this coming year.

But hey, I'm game.

Exactly. Especially when. Youre running reverse inside the redzone.

You don't need a elite caliber QB. You need a solid game manager.. we have that and we can outsmart any DC any time.

we have the players, including the QB, that could be a consistently good offense. Andy just has to trust them to make plays over his cute play calling.

we've had success when we attack the chains on 3rd down or passing into the endzone, when in the redzone. andy just loves trying to outsmart teams with cute play calling. and it doesn't work against good d's

Anyone who watched Foles wildly inaccurate throws, (especially in the end zone to Hill) and blame Reid, or think Alex wouldn't have done better is being intentionally obtuse.
