Yes..

Perhaps because the option to scramble is not there he goes deeper? Not sure what it is but I do agree alex is looking a lil deeper of late..was still 0-4 on deep balls last week whereas foles was 3-5 and if u give him he kelce throw, 4 for 5.....

Foles average yards per completion was 14....

So you're saying a guy who started his career hot playing against crap teams who had no film on him then completely fizzled out and was abandoned by two organizations is on the right track to be an elite QB?

You are insane. Get help. Soon.

Problem was he wasn't a free agent after that great season, otherwise he would have gotten a huge offer from someone. He was traded after a less than stellar statistical season, and by the time he actually was a free agent he had the stank of the Rams offense on him and was coming off 2 not very good seasons.

If he has a few good games here & then hits FA I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone threw stupid money at him.

Smith's wins are definitely always against only the best teams. Never a string of backup QBs

4 seasons of wins which include beating teams (i.e...Seattle, Patriots, Denver) that went on to play in respective Superbowls those years doesn't qualify beating some of the 'best' teams?

Nobody is saying we have been undefeated since the Reid/Smith arrivals, if that's the only counter argument you can come up with to discredit their achievements....

Fluke season much like Cassel's 27/7 TD-INT season. He was throwing to a bunch of wide open WRs and defenses hadn't figured out Chip Kelly's offense yet.

Foles isn't that good. Rams fans were very happy when he got released. I mean the guy got cut by the Rams (of all teams) who didn't even have a good backup.

Fisher couldn't even get anything for him in a trade what does that tell you?

He's a good backup. He's not someone you want starting for you all season. Throws too many INTs, holds on to the ball too long and his arm strength is just average (see the deep ball to Hill last week). Only thing he really does better than Alex Smith is he takes more chances down the field but the cost of that (more INTs) isn't even worth it especially considering we have a good defense.

Reid is not going to bench Alex Smith for Foles so just stop with this nonsense. Start him in Madden if you want him to start so bad.
