BA Baracus Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 For the guys that saw him play...how did he look? Does he pass the eye test? Were his stats earned or flukey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddfish2 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If memory serves correctly he was taken in the 3rd round, as the 7th quarterback picked in what has turned out to be a fairly impressive cast of rookies where 5 of the first 7 picked were opening day starters. Luck RGIII Tannehill Weeden Osweiller Wilson Foles As an Arizona State fan I'll say I think he was a better NFL prospect than Osweiller coming out of college. As I recall he makes pretty good pre-snap reads and has a better than average arm. During the 2011 season, Foles completed 387 of 560 passes for 4,334 yards and 28 touchdowns. He ranked first in the Pac 12 Conference and fifth among all NCAA Division I FBS players with an average of 352.58 yards of total offense per game.[6] He also ranked second in the Pac 12 and 20th among all FBS players in total passing yardage.[7] That's 2nd in the Pac 12 for total passing yardage, with guys like Luck, Osweiller & Barkley in the conference. I think he's got a decent shot at being serviceable. The speed of the game will no doubt get to him from time to time, but he started nearly 3 full seasons at Arizona ... so he's got some experience to draw from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the guy has a real shot to be a solid pro. Obviously the focus was on Luck and RGIII coming into this draft but Foles is no slouch. And let's remember, for all of their foibles, Philly does turn out good QB play from lesser talent (A.J. Feeley, for one). This week will be a good litnus test. The Redskins will allow for plenty of open passing lanes so we'll see how good the kid *could* be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddfish2 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Philly does turn out good QB play from lesser talent (A.J. Feeley, for one). I think you could lump Kevin Kolb in that thought too ... though once he left Philly the magic was gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 For the guys that saw him play...how did he look? Does he pass the eye test? Were his stats earned or flukey? He sure was throwing to Maclin alot against the Cowboys ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I like foles, but for the remainder of this season I'm not so sure. I do think he will be the full time guy next year and do well. I just think this year that offensive line is way too big of a question mark to even think about foles in your lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckDuckGoose Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nick Foles will be as good as Ryan Fitzpatrick Kyle Orton & Jake Plummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I picked him up on my 2 QB League to start this week. Juicy matchup was just too tempting. Others were Sanchez and Bradford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
