Is Nick Foles the best of the "New Breed", "Dual Threat" QB'S ?

He thrived in Chip Jelly's Zone Read, run first offense last season.

 

The Eagles were number 1 in the entire NFL in rushing offense by a large margin.

 

They averaged a remarkable 5.1 yards per rushing attempt, number 1 in the NFL.

 

Foles was number 1 in the NFL in passer rating, surpassing even Peyton Manning.

 

In addition, the Eagles, though they led the NFL in rushing, were also # 9 in the NFL in passing offense.

 

None of the other "Young Guns", "New Breed", "Dual Threat" QB's came close to putting up those type of numbers, especially the combination of rushing and passing success.

 

The closest was BOB 3, who paced the Redskins to a 16th finish in NFL passing offense.

 

One has to wonder what Foles would have accomplished had the Eagles not finished 29th in NFL Total Defense.

 

After all, the only teams that made the NFC playoffs last year that did not finish in the top 5 in NFL in total defense were the Packers and Eagles.

I think Foles is a good QB who can be a part of a SB winning team but McCoy and the system are also a major reason for his numbers.  

 

I also wouldn't consider him the top "new gun" or whatever.  Also, he's not a dual threat.

They were number one in rushing because of McCoy. Not foles. He had a good season but by no means does that make him the best dual threat qb. Horrible thread

 

Funny.

The Eagles have had McCoy for 5 years, but they never led the league in rushing with McCoy until last year.

Funny.

The eagles have had Andy Reid for 4 years, Chip Kelly for one year. I think the great seasons from both Mccoy and Foles had more to do with the system of Chip Kelly than it had to do with themselves..

It's not really that funny. Reid ran a west coast dink and dunk while contrary to popular belief, Kelly's offense is run heavy. Not sure what's hard to understand here.

Nick Foles is Matt Cassel 2.0 - a decent quarterback who can thrive in the right system. He's not single-handedly leading his team to wins like the other dual- threat QBs.

 

You mean the ones with the Top 5 defenses and good running games?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
