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?

    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.  
    • Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
