I just don't understand what you folks don't get here.
He's not going to light up bad secondaries. It's not his style of game. And he's not going to get his ass handed to him by good ones either.
Foles is a hollow stats quarterback that can pick on weak sisters but he'll kill you against high-caliber competition. Granted, that's simply my opinion based on his past body of work and my general disdain for his kind of QB (less methodical; more balls to the walls). Perhaps he's broken 3 years of bad habits in the span of 2 months.
But I see a slightly more polished Bray when I watch Foles. He's like those fireballing pitchers with amazing stuff and poor command. They're fun as hell to watch when they're facing overmatched opponents but when you get them out there against a smart, patient ballclub, they'll get their asses kicked and you'd rather have the patient veteran working the corners.
