“I’m taking Foles,” Jaworski said. “Not even close. Russell Wilson is just . . . because of that system he is in. Russell Wilson plays with that defense, the best in football. He just managed the game very well. I think Russell Wilson has played terrific, a great maturity, but I’m going to take Nick Foles.” (PFT-Florio)

Jaworski deducts points for being a mobile QB when he should be adding them. I think he is still bitter about being replaced by Plastic Man. He failed to mention that the Eagles have the number 1 ranked rushing offense. That's not number 20, not number 10, not number 5. They rushed for more yards than anyone. And Lesean McCoy is so dangerous in that offense because he is a threat with or without blockers. They can put 6 defensive backs out there to combat 4 WRs and all of them have to be mindful of Shady. 

 

And lets cover one very, very important fact. The Eagles play in the NFC East. In the 2013 season they had the NFC North, AFC West, Bucs, and Cardinals.

 

They played the Giants twice who were 8th in total defense. They played the 6th ranked Cardinals once and were held to a modest 24 points. That's it. Three games against top 10 defenses. No top 5s.

 

Okay, so how many bad defenses did the Eagles play? ALL OF THEM. The Eagles played a combined 4 games against the three worst defenses in the league. Dallas, Minnesota, and Chicago. The Eagles were the 4th worst, always needing more points to stay ahead or catch up. They played 8 games against bottom 10 defenses. 

 

 

In contrast who did the Seahawks play? 8 games against the top 8 defenses. Carolina, New Orleans, San Fran twice, Arizona twice, Houston, and New York. Seahawks were rank 1, so take the Seahawks out of it, they played 6 of the next 7 best defenses in the league.

 

The Seahawks did also play the Jaguars, Falcons, and Vikings. They scored 45, 33, and 41 points on them.

 

Now lets take this around to the Panthers whom have been ripped for our statistically low ranked offense. Let's take the top 10 defenses (excluding ourselves). We played the Seahawks, 49ers, Saints twice, Bills, Jets, Cardinals, and Giants. 8 games against top 10 defenses. 

 

The Rams were damned good on defense too, they just struggled with the loss of their QB.

 

TLDR  If jaws wants to hold the Seahawks defense against Russel Wilson. Then he needs to hold the NFC East, North, and AFC West defenses against Foles. And while he's at it. Stop holding Cam's defense against him. You didn't give him credit when the defense stunk and he had to toss it all day as a rookie.

      Greg Olsen weighs in on Dan and Dave's strategy to build the Panthers.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Jones was brought in to compete with AR but Steichen was allowed to be real and say AR isnt ready and may never be. It's not a bad thing to acknowledge the reality a lot of these high QB draft picks don't make it as NFL franchise QBs. It's not a knock on Bryce, Stroud or AR. It's just the NFL.  Ive been insistent we needed more than Dalton. Other than the Raiders game, he was horrible. Plummer. Why bother. It's like we put the minimal amount of effort to a position that's actually pretty damned significant. Hell, look at Nick Foles. Backup QB wins the damn SB. Also, how many times have we seen a backup come in and never relinquish the job. Brady was Bledsoe's backup, and an injury launched a career that led to 7 SB rings.  There were guys available that were better than Dalton. We could and should have done more for the betterment of the team. If we had brought in Howell instead of Dalton, and Bryce played like he has until now, then Howell went in and started lighting it up, we would be able to say with certainty that the problems are Bryce problems because this guy can do it but Bryce can't. Dalton has already shown us he's not really capable of a lot. Maybe he surprises us, but I don't have high hopes of HQ QB play.  I don't care who the QB is. Bryce, AR, Jameis, some off world clone of Cam we found in a time capsule next to JR'S pool. Just be real and honest in all QB evaluations and may the best QB win the job. Do what's best for the Panthers, not just any one player.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      You need a good sense of humor to call that funny. But I was lamenting that the other day. We are winning some games with that approach. Took us two and a half years to get back to where we started from.
