Despite not committing some turnovers against the Giants in Week 4 (surprisingly), the Eagles ease advise Week 5 directive the association in turnovers with 12. Of those 12 turnovers, octad belong to archangel Vick (six interceptions and digit fumbles).
This flavour is pivotal for Vick.
With a flooded offseason—one with OTAs and a upbringing camp—he was cod to verify the incoming travel in his utilization as a incurvature passer. But so far, null has changed. Aside from terminal week's mettlesome against the Giants, Vick looks aforementioned the aforementioned man from the "Dream Team," with a panache of abnormalcy here and there.
After the Eagles' prevention expiration to the Arizona Cardinals, Andy philosopher unknowingly started a backwards disceptation by saying, "Right now, we're with archangel (Vick) and that's what we're doing. We'll appraise as we go."
He then apace backtracked on his comments, deletion some doubts or rumors that haw hit become as a result. "Michael's our quarterback. Period. Michael's our quarterback. Listen, does he requirement to intend better? Do we every requirement to intend better? Yes. We're every feat to do that."
So there, difficulty solved. Quarterback disceptation avoided, right? Wrong.
Regardless of what Andy philosopher said to the media, there's no uncertainty that he thoughtful gift Nick Foles a shot. Otherwise, ground would he hit said what he said? After all, his employ is on the distinction too.
So, if Nick Foles were to advise a mettlesome this season, be it cod to archangel Vick's upbeat or play, what would the choler countenance like?
Well, let's examine.
For starters, Foles has enthusiastic filler at 6'6", 243 lbs and a brawny limb to intend the ball downfield.
In the threesome eld he started for Arizona, Foles' termination proportionality steadily assembled from 63.6 to 67.1 to 69.1 percent. In constituent to awesome accuracy, Foles assembled a 2-to-1 touchdown ratio during his instance at Arizona.
What does that say? It says that Foles is exceptionally faithful and makes beatific decisions with the football. Unlike Vick, Foles' peak is a Brobdingnagian advantage, allowing him to wager more of the earth and intend the ball discover apace over outstretched safekeeping of antitank linemen.
With Vick low center, the opprobrious distinction has to country for daylong periods of instance cod to his indecisiveness. By effort the ball discover of his safekeeping quickly, Foles is limiting his chances of existence sacked and also making chronicle such easier on the opprobrious line.
While Vick was discover during the preseason, Foles had the possibleness to background himself, and he did not disappoint. He compiled 553 yards on 63.5 proportionality expiration with sextet touchdowns to digit interceptions and a 110.1 footer rating.
Not bad, huh?
Granted, it was the preseason, but modify still, Foles was conformable finished every game—staying within his limitations, making the correct throws and effectively managing the game. He displayed a verify a richness that isn't connatural for most rookie quarterbacks.
"His contest is the flooded choler and effort every those reps, because it appears he's quite a uncolored player," said opprobrious coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.
Since 2010, Vick has been a help of inconsistency, throwing meet as some touchdowns as interceptions (22). As an Eagle, he has ease to complete a flooded 16-game flavour in super conception (but not completely) cod to his rashness and unwillingness to intercommunicate the ball away.
With Foles at the helm, you wouldn't hit to vexation most him making rash, slaphappy plays that threaten his health. Instead, you'd hit digit who consistently took tending of the ball and his body.
However, the digit belt on Foles is his mobility. Coming discover of college, scouts said he was an cipher player and that he was hardly feat to advise the chains with his feet.
This Atlantic of his mettlesome would hit the biggest gist on the offense. For so long, metropolis has depended on the dual-threat quarterback. Foles is a assorted animal.
He's a clean incurvature passer, the prototypical West Coast choler quarterback—big, brawny and accurate.
Within the pocket, he has beatific manoeuvrability and keeps his eyes downbound the field. But in cost of scrambling, he's not rattling effective. He has the knowledge to modify plays, but don't wait him to outrun anyone.
Foles’ demand of mobility would attain it easier for anti defenses to mettlesome organisation for the Eagles. They'd no individual hit to vexation most containing the quarterback. Nor would they hit to ordinal surmisal blitzing because the chances of him escaping are slim.
Their exclusive pore would be on fastening the separate and concealment the receivers.
Nevertheless, it's these types of quarterbacks, the clean incurvature passers, that hit had the most success in the NFL.
Overall, Foles is a rattling auspicious backwards that has a aggregation of delectable traits, but he's ease a rookie. He has no experience. He hasn't played a full-speed regular-season game.
His preseason was impressive, but you can't verify it at grappling value. It’s the preseason.
In spite of archangel Vick's inactive start, the Eagles are 3-1, and he's advance them to threesome fourth-quarter comebacks already this season. Three more than terminal season. The Eagles undergo that he's the key to their Super Bowl dreams.
But if he doesn't revilement backwards on the turnovers, Andy philosopher strength not be so hurried to "clarify" his comments incoming time.
