Picked him up, but there is no way I am starting himAnyone have faith?
The same reason I picked him up. If I make it to week 16, Dak has the Seahawks and Foles has the Raiders.Loipz said:I picked him up since I have Matt Ryan. He gets the saints again next week(if I even make it) and foles gets the raiders.
Same boat. Thinking jimmy or nicky kind of leaning jimmy’s way just cause they will have to throw.i have goff, who has been steady, but on the road in seattle. he has me a little spooked. may go with foles.
Same boat my friend. Missed on getting Flacco and Ryan has been a disappointment. I could take Ryan's 9-11 points but Philly has two tasty matchups. I have to dig into Foles stats to see what to expect. Maybe some running stats?Loipz said:I picked him up since I have Matt Ryan.

Yeah Ryan has been awful these last couple weeks. I do have the option of Flacco but I don’t know if I want to trust that over the tasty Bucs matchup It is the browns but with that D I’m afraid they’ll go up quickly and just look to run the ball.Same boat my friend.

Keenum at home..Bungels have quit.Hard choice between Jimmy Garopolo, Dak Prescot , Case Keenum or him .. How do you even try to figure who to start from that list lol
Keenum at home..Bungels have quit.
You may be right even though Dak vs Oakland thats a treat .. Jimmy G vs Titans and Foles vs Giants Dak lit them up are all outstanding matchups lol
I don’t believe they will change from their normal approach. Need to get Foles prepared for the playoffs and having him just hand off the football doesn’t accomplish that.I'm very wary of Foles. He had a magical year in 2013, but he is proven it was a fluke in a gunslinging offense. As others have said, I don't think Pederson will want him to air the ball out - rather manage the game and use the solid stable of RBs they have, along with a strong defense against a weak opponent. I'd be surprised if he even approaches 25 passing attempts.
This. They really don't have to fear the Giants. They are in all out tank mode trying to preserver pick #2 for 2018. Foles can let 'er rip and if he gets picked off, odds are the Giants will lay down and punt it back so he can get some more reps.I don’t believe they will change from their normal approach.

Yes, '13 was an unbelievable year that no one would expect to be duplicated. However, he has a career 94.1 QB rating with the Eagles, 105.9 with KC and 69.0 with Jeff Fisher's Rams. Small sample sizes for sure, but the only negative on his career came with same coach that Goff & Keenum struggled under. He's started 36 games with a completion % above 60 and over 7 yds/att - both stats negatively impacted by his time under Fisher.I'm very wary of Foles.

Well...like I said about Rogers when he got hurt...if Wentz is truly an elite QB, then the Philly offense will suffer with his loss. If Wentz is just an average to good NFL qb, then the Philly offense won't change. I lean towards the former (just like what we saw with the packers).This. They really don't have to fear the Giants.

Giants are terrible against the pass. Will Pederson continue to try and run his high octane offense is the question. I thin he has to..Foles is not a rookie and has been in the system.I tried to pick him up this morning, but was beat by 2 minutes by the guy I am facing this week (who had Wentz and Winston). I was not going to start him over Brady or Prescott, but was trying to block my opponent - dammit. Have a bad feeling he is going to blow up this week against the lowly Giants.
Wentz was my QB, I have Goff..Foles and Bortles are options....I'm going with Kennum home VS banged up Bengals.i have goff, who has been steady, but on the road in seattle. he has me a little spooked. may go with foles.
Has he? He was initially drafted by Reid, but only really got to play under Chip. I know he spent some time with the Chiefs as Smith's backup, and has obviously been with the Eagles this year.Giants are terrible against the pass.

Off-season workouts, X-Season, and all year practice. Not like brining in a QB off the street like Robert Griffin who would need to learn all the playbook and terminology.Has he?

So I guess technically he's been in the system in the sense that the terminology, etc. is familiar with him. But in terms of when he's actually played, that was almost entirely in a different system.
Yeah, that makes sense, though I think the veteran part is what's more important. Hundley had experience "in the system", but GB refused to take the training wheels off, especially in his first few games. Pederson may be a bit more conservative with Foles under center, but I doubt he limits him in the same way.Off-season workouts, X-Season, and all year practice.

Rodgers no debate seriously.It's between Foles, Siemian, or a certainly less than 100% rusty Aaron Rodgers.
You happy now?I’m rolling with Foles because I can’t trust Carr. Just hoping for a solid outing.
Lol and mine between keenum and himCan't believe my decision is between Foles and Bortles for the championship.
