Don't kill me, but Foles is a bada$$

[dbrooks25]

I've been lurking on the NFC West rivals' message board and it seems that as a whole, only the Seahawks fans are looking at this trade as a win for the Rams. The Niners fans are their usual arrogant selves while Arizona fans seem to think Foles won't help as our offense sucks as a whole. One fan asked the rest to name one person on the Rams offense that they would take over the Cards offense. For real, are you kidding me? That offense freaking sucked balls and they weren't effective against our defense with or without Palmer, but I'll play along. Our QBs are better, our RB corp is better, GRob is going to be a monster, our corp of TEs are better, and while they have some good WRs, ours are nothing to sneeze at.

Devils advocate..

From last years game..

Austin Davis 29/49 375 yds. 7.73 avg. 103.7 QBR
Nick Foles 24/37 207 yds. 5.60 avg 86.2 QBR
And yes I do remember, we were playing from behind..

And 2014 stats..
http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/passingYards

My manufacturing background says look at the data.. numbers don't lie.. there are a lot of things a system can cover up whether it's Philly or St Louis.. regardless, with Case, Austin, and Nick.. we have a healthy battle.. no pun intended

27 Td vs 2 picks is all I need to say. BIG upgrade over Hill and Davis and I don't think anyone will argue. Those head to head stats mean dick to me.

PLAYER TEAM COMP ATT PCT YDS/G
29 Nick Foles, QB PHI 186 311 59.8 2,163 6.96 68 13 10 9 81.4 270
30 Austin Davis, QB STL 180 284 63.4 2,001 7.05 59 12 92985.1 200

The stats that mean dick to me are the 2014 overall stats if you would have clicked the link.. If you can't figure it out.. the picture is attached..

Foles had great stats from a brand new Oregon (Kelly, etc.) offensive style.. Just playing devils advocate.. if you want to pick and choose so be it.

 

[Angry Ram]

I don't mind Nick. He's a good guy that's a much better option than Josh McCown or Mike Glennon or w/e.

 

[PressureD41]

Foles college offense was similar to Kelleys For what it's worth

 

[-X-]

Doesn't really matter how Foles compares to Bradford or anyone else to me, what's done is done and Foles is the guy now, and I think he's plenty good enough to win football games for our team.

Do you want to anoint him without some competition from the other guys? Hopefully they draft a guy high and make it a 4-way competition.

 

[RaminExile]

Folds is the Rams QB and Bradford isn't
Time for folks to remember the team we love and drop the allegiance to a player

Foles is the man now. I'm really looking forwards to seeing what moves we can make in the rest of FA and the draft to see what kind of offense we can put together to help him out! But....we're entitled to question and sometimes criticize decisions our team makes. That's part of the role of being a fan - holding guys to account - so fans are entitled to go "Well this guy isn't as good as the guy we shipped out" - without it being "loyalty to the player rather than the team". There are legitimate concerns over his ability that aren't answered by one statistical outlier of a season because of the circumstances surrounding it - just as there are legitimate concerns about Sam Bradford's ability as well as his health because of a lack of statistical support for what people see as his talent level.

That just means Foles would have done even better than Davis had he been on our team.

And Foles picked up the W.

Outside of the 2014 stats (in picture above)

Who would you take?

2014
Chip Kelly vs. Schottenheimer offense
Maclin vs. Britt
Philly OL vs. Rams OL

Didn't care to click it, still means dick to me. Once again, Foles is hands down a better QB than Davis and Hill.

Arizona fans seem to think Foles won't help as our offense sucks as a whole. One fan asked the rest to name one person on the Rams offense that they would take over the Cards offense. For real, are you kidding me?

Arizona sports fans tend to be extreme homers and aren't very intelligent in general from my experience when discussing Cardinals, Suns. I can say this from experience. Not bad people...passionate and loyal...but fairly clueless in terms of objectivity.

And that my friends is a St. Louis Ram. Bradford's signing, from the Eagles website, states that Bradford was sacked continuously causing injury.

2014: Davis, in his limited time, was sacked 29 times vs. Foles 9 times and Davis threw for only 100 yards less in 27 fewer attempts (Davis averaged 7.05 yds & 63.4% completion percentage).. meaning Davis only needed 14 of 27 (52%) to surpass Foles...

AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU TAKE IN 2014
Chip Kelly vs. Schottenheimer
Maclin vs. Britt
Philly OL vs. Rams OL

I think it is a great battle with Foles, Davis, and Keenum.. I can't wait for 2015! Same team. Go Rams!

I hope he murders it here. I really do.
But if he doesn't, I won't kill you. I'll have Foles do it since he's a badass too.

Is this even being disputed?

Again, playing devils advocate and looking at the stats from last year.. I think Keenum and Davis have just as good a chance at landing the QB1 job.

Does it really matter how much we pay any of the 3?

Anything is possible. IDGAS who lands the spot, but I sure would like to see someone EARN it for once.

 

[Stranger]

How much cap space did we gain in this trade?

Lol seriously? No. Just no.

 

[OutsiderSLR]

Lol seriously? No. Just no.

Do you follow Oregon, Chip Kelly, or any offense related?

 

[OutsiderSLR]

I think this is what it comes down to.. Providing cap space for OL/WR and letting our QB's battle it out for the top spot, FYI
