He's been performing poorly. I don't know why as I once considered Foles to be a good QB with potential in a pro style system. Under Andy Reid he seemed to have good footwork and consistent ball placement alongside it. But this was in an Andy Reid system catered to Michael Vick, which may have integrated some more spread elements. Foles, then, perhaps need a more spread out system in order to tap into his talents. In Fisher's presumably more pro style system, defensive pressure reaches Foles too quickly at the top of his dropback and in response he throws off his back foot too often. In a spread system, like is the one he's versed in, Foles can see the rush coming and adjust accordingly. This is what he did in Kelly's system and he was much better. Fishers should thus change his system and go 3-4 wide with 1 back.

He went for 27 TDs and 2 ints under genius coaching and now has to watch Keenum scramble from the bench.

Poor guy

Detroit's new GM should be able to get a king's ransom for Stafford. :ohlawd:

I had high hopes when we traded for him(anyone's an upgrade over flabford), but quickly realized that one season was an anomaly and he was a product of Chips system. It's a weak ass QB class this year but we need to try just fukking draft a QB or see what Mannion has to offer.
