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

[Bozarden]

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

 

Nick Foles didnt have a top 5 defense but he had a GREAT running game and was playing in one of the worst divisions in football. So yes, that kind of system

Funny.

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

Andy Reid. Just stop posting

[WOW!!]

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

You mean the running game where if you take away his numbers. They will be the 26th ranked rushing attack?

One more thought on the great Foles, my good friend is a life-long diehard Eagles fan. Even he says he shudders at the thought of Foles being there long term. Just one guys opinion but I don't know many Eagles fans.

LOL...just killing some time in the hospital waiting room. My son broke his arm lying down his scooter.

 

Don't worry, I won't make it a habit.

[El Chingon]

Actually, Harrison said:  " It is time for the Carolina Panthers to switch quarterbacks".

 

That was the quote.

 

it's good to know you're alive bro we were worried

Who is Nick Foles? A Backstreet Boy? 

[doogy]

Nick Foles is not a dual threat QB in stretch of the imagination. Kelly's system doesn't necessarily mean the QB can run as well, it instead leaves him as a threat if you let him. Kelly has always said he'd rather a QB who can run over a RB who can throw but it wasn't until this year where he's had a true pocket passer in his system and Foles did pretty well.

Actually, that scenario does not exist, but Newton did average 23 yards more per game rushing than Foles.

 

Wilson averaged 20ypg more than Foles.

 

And Kaepernick averaged 19 ypg more than Foles.

lol

Glad to hear you are satisfied when your QB tops out at 16th in NFL passer rating along with 29th in team passing offense.

 

That and his 500 or so rushing yards practically carried the NFL's 2nd ranked defense to the playoffs.
