If Foles was better than Alex then Reid would start him. Period.

Starting Alex Smith is a Safe move on your coaching career.
Alex does anything to avoid that INT stat. He won't take chances and he will bore the shit out the viewers, BUT he will do just enough not to lose and he will keep your team at a mediocre status that will keep you around.
Foles will take chances and let his playmakers make plays. It most likely will come with more interceptions over time, but it could also take the offense to an elite status.
If Foles starts throwing INTs and losing games, Reids paycheck will suffer from it. I think Reid starts Alex Smith because he is not much of a gambler.
