Macksimus Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I have Luck and I may or may not be interested in Foles (how's that for smoke and mirrors?). That being said, Luck has a really tough schedule the rest of the way. I'm A LITTLE worried about that.

BA Baracus Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Luck is proven. Foles is not IMO. Luck has considerably greater value in a trade if that's what you're getting at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpayers Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I happen to have both in one league and have been contemplating this very question. My thoughts: 1. According to the Huddle SOS Tool, IND has an extremely tough ROS with 4 "difficult" QB match-ups (2xTEN, HOU, CIN). On the other hand, PHI has no difficult games but play 2 "easy" games (WAS, MIN). The sched favors PHI. Advantage: Foles 2. Recently, PHI has a shown a better supporting cast. Shady, DJax, Cooper vs. TRich, TY, DHB. Advantage: Foles 3. Offensive Strategy - Kelly's hurry-up vs. Pagano/Hamilton's ball control Advantage: Foles 4. Number of games. PHI still has it's Bye upcoming, Ind had it's Bye Advantage: Luck 5. Talent Advantage: Luck So, to the OP question of who will score the most FF points, I will have to use Occam's Razor and go with the simplest choice: Luck will score more points because he'll play more games. However, answering the question not asked, Foles will be the better option for more weeks. Assuming participation in the playoffs through wk 16, I plan on using Foles 5 times and Luck in 2. My plan assumes that Foles continues his Billy Volek-like play and Luck remains Luck. Take a look at the SOS tool and make your own choices. Curious if you'll agree with me.

Rileyrott Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Same situation in my local, and all I can say is I started Foles vs. Dallas instead of Luck vs. Denver.....and it bit me in the a S S. So, with that said, I'm not sure if I can do that again so soon. It sure was sweet with both Luck and Hilton for the triple hook-up Sunday night! Winner! I agree with wpayers that Foles has the easier schedule, and it looks like we'll be going through this decision process each week (except for Week 12).

SecondString Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Foles is still a wild card. So it's pretty hard to answer that with any confidence one way or another. I added Foles, but am I ready to trade Luck and rely on Foles for ROS? Nope. So, if I had to answer the question now, I would say Luck. But thankfully, I don't have to make that decision just yet. And given Luck's schedule the rest of the way, it's nice to have a potential backup plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Luck is bebter looking and graduated from Standford (Foles from Arizona) is it even close ? that's how I pick my winners in a 2 year old maiden when at the track , should work here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Foles was a free agent in our league this week (week before too.) He was picked up by the Peyton owner replacing his backup Pryor. Foles was on another team's roster for one week (7) and started. I doubt the Peyton owner plans to start Foles much, but just as insurance and possibly to block others from getting him (though he had a very low waiver priority so it seems nobody was that interested) The other thing nobody seems to be mentioning is, couldn't Vick return and start again? Maybe I missed it, has Kelly said Foles will be the starter the rest of the season? Just checked and see that Kelly hasn't announced a starter for this week, so what makes people so certain Foles even starts the rest of the way?

I own Peyton in one league and would love to have Pryor as my backup. No way I would have dropped him for the baby horses.

I think this was in response to my smartazz response meaning we have not seen enough starts from Foles even in his 2nd year to make a educated decision ,,, again IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordankaylie1 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Like someone said earlier. When did they announce Foles as the clear starter. Also Luck had a great performance against Denver and Houston. I will take Luck over Foles any day! And to whoever dropped Pryor for Foles I wish the person who owned Pryor in my league would drop him so I can snatch him as a backup for Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpayers Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 He will start every week until he has a bad week and Vick is healthy. I think PHI will give Baby Horses every chance to success. They dislike the Vick/Foles whack-o-mole game as much as we do. Even if healthy I don't see them going back to Mike. Baby Horses would have to really mess the barn to get yanked. I reckon Chip Kelly knows you don't change horses in midstream...doh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpayers Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Luck is benched in favor of Foles. W/o Wayne the IND offense is off kilter. Defense 101 going forward - teams will double TY. TRich isn't performing. Lower expectations for Luck and ride Foles. I will eat my 1995 NY Jets hat if Vick is given the job back (barring injury and locker room bullying of course).
