He did that same bit of idiocy in the pre-season and I gave him a pass because it was 3rd and long and a pick would've been the same as a punt. But you simply do not make a throw late and down the middle on first ****ing down. That's the kind of play that shouldn't be made and if you make it against any kind of quality defense, your best hope is a penalty. Judging process is always more predictive than judging results and here the process was exceptionally poor. It was bad execution of a worse decision. That ball should've never come out as he had absolutely no way to throw it far enough for Hill to run under it. The underthrow was the only thing that could've happened there and he's lucky that Hill bailed him out.

This is a bad example considering Alex did this on a similar play in 2013 in the same building against the same team.

I've seen Alex Smith do it a few times, and when he does it... it works. Most of the time I see shitty QB's go fetal. |

Smith would have stepped up the same, but would have run up the middle.. with Fisher's guy breaking away to tackle Smith for a short gain. Don't know about ya'll, but I do see the QB2 come in and spark a team with courage. Got nothing to lose, and are eager as hell to make an impression. Give them games as QB1, and they start to show the warts. I'm not saying this would be Foles. I have been complimentary of him, and still will be until he shows otherwise. .. but it's true. Chucking up passes can have big rewards.. but we all know they can badly bite you in the ass as well. Push for this guy, push for that guy, whatever. I'm just gonna enjoy whatever the ride brings. I'd prefer it be Smith, but if Foles is clearly better, bring it.

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.

He's not a flashy QB. Won't win you many games on his own, but won't turn the ball over making it harder to get wins. Nothing wrong with it. Translates well in regular season, not so well in the post season. We are reliving the 90's. All those wins were great, but we never got the one we wanted. |

Interesting note - I heard a commentator in the pre-season talk about Smith being a leg-locked passer and made a point to try to watch for it some this year. He's right; Smith likes to lock that leg and it does seem to sap him of some arm strength.
Foles doesn't. Foles is going to have freer, easier velocity than Smith and I just don't see any arguing it. But it sure looked to me like he couldn't maintain his arm slot. He'd bring the ball out from several different angles and I just don't think you can be a consistently successful quarterback doing that unless you're an insanely good athlete. Rodgers can do it because his body allows him to get away with it. Stafford and Cutler could do it as well and both of them are underrated athletes. I don't see that ability with Foles. He's very much the upright pocket passer and if he hopes to take a step forward, that arm has to be more consistent.
