Fair enough, but as someone who watched every game it really was Foles trying to do too much. And I say that as someone who was pumped when the Rams traded for Foles & I was also pretty excited when I found out the Chiefs traded for him as I generally agree he got a bad deal with the Rams.
That's the downside to Foles, hopefully here he won't have to do as much, but when pressure's coming he's more likely to just toss it up much like the Hill catch last week. It really is a lot like the controversy we have going on now, Keenum was the guy who wouldn't turn the ball over like Smith is here.
The other thing I will point out is that most of Foles starts happened before Gurley started playing so that definitely figured into the stats as well.
