Foles has to get more credit for that superbowl. Wentz even knows that. Wentz was the key for that first seed but the playoffs and regular season are two different beasts. That is Nick Foles' ring. He was just masterful in those two games. Wentz still gotta prove he can bring it in the playoffs.
Like if Carson has a Marino type career but never starts in and wins a superbowl, we can cite to that ring but it will never really be his.
That being said, much less pressure on Wentz to lead us to another one, I think the burden of winning the first one in franchise history is greater than Wentz winning his first as the starting quarterback.
But Lets not forget, If anything, Pederson deserves alot of credit for Foles success in the nfc championship game and the superbowl. He had to switch it up from wentz to foles. he saw what made Foles successful in 2013 (the run pass option stuff and that aggressive offensive playcalling) and incorporated that in the playoff gameplan.
Foles went 8-2 as a starter for the Eagles in 2013.
Won 3 playoff games against the best teams in the NFL last year and won the SB.
But ya'll tryna tell me he can't start a full season and get the Eagles to the playoffs?
With this roster he can. Its not impossible but its not certain either.
The thing about Foles, is that he is streaky, when he is hot, you are not stopping him but when he is cold, he looks really bad.
2014, 2015 and the end of 2017 with Foles are a case in point about that
