I love how the Alex nut huggers want to micro-analyze every single missed throw of Foles, but don't do the same for Alex, or even acknowledge the throws that he doesn't even try to make.
Folks looked better than Smith, and Smith was having a good game. Yeah, he missed some stuff, but come the **** on.

I love how the folks that can't give Smith credit for anything want to ignore the fact that playing a glorified 7 on 7 game is right in Foles' wheelhouse.
You really think that throwing balls late over the middle is a good idea against a team with any kind of secondary? Or that guys are just going to forget to pass off a simple go route from the primary read when they have any talent back there to speak of?
He did a fine job but again, you don't analyse results to predict future performance; you analyse process. Foles did some things that he wouldn't get away with against decent teams and that has to be remembered because
not doing those things is pretty much the one real strength that Smith has.
If you want a fair discussion of the two, you have to also recognize the degree of difficulty.
