Didn't see another post on this. If I missed it, my bad.

Article makes a pretty compelling case for giving the starting nod to Foles. The QB in a chip Kelly has a ton of value

The Nick Foles Era thread covers a lot of it.

Controversy is this was the NFL network.

If you had an ounce of common sense, you know Foles gives the Eagles the BEST chance of winning games.

I don't have Foles or Vick on my team and I'm no Eagles fan... but I think they should go with Foles. Vick always had trouble with pre-snap reads and blitz pressure. I understand that he "won" the job in pre-season (against completely vanilla defenses), but at this point in his career his book has been written.

Offense just seems to be more potent with Foles under center.

Vick is a turnover machine. Foles would give them the best chance.

I think this is the key. Vick's athletic talent gave him a huge advantage when defenses weren't doing anything surprising or special. Now that the games matter, defenses aren't so vanilla, and his deficiencies show through a bit stronger.

Foles should continue to start.

Crazy that this could even be called controversy. Nothing controversial about Foles looking like a much better qb than Vick.

Foles should have been starting since Day 1. Kelly made a bad call there and now is his chance to fix it. Luckily, they pulled out a few wins and aren't out of contention for the playoffs yet an Kelly can finally be forced into the correct decision due to Vick's injury.

Any chance you will lead the Nick Foles bandwagon? We need a guy like you.
