Tall guy who played college football.

Lots of composure with a big arm.

Not a 1st round pick.

I think we might have diamond in the rough here boys.

brady didnt have a very strong arm coming out, he really improved it through the years, plus its easy to stay composed when you know what the defense is running because your coaches cheat.

Let's let him earn the #2 spot before we begin thinking too big. Right now he's just the #3 Rookie QB. Granted he played well, but he played well in the third quarter of the first pre-season game of the season.

He impressed but the situation itself isn't impressive.

This is an absurd comparison.  Foles is guaranteed at least 7 Super Bowl wins, Brady does not even belong in the conversation with him.

Right now Foles is #1 but it's only the 1st game preseason.  Do you keep Edwards over Kafka?

You keep Edwards as #2, Kafka is done.   Foles is the Eagles future to a real championship.   I think the Eagles have the answer to McNabb in house.

At least the "he's got a noodle arm" crowd is gonna have to find something else to yap about.  Maybe "he's too slow to rush for 600 yards/yr. like any real quarterback should"?  It was one quarter of one preseason game but it'd be nice to see him play in the other 3 preseason games like he did in this one.  One quarter of one preseason game does not Tom Brady v.2 make but he DID look good.

After Foles performance tonight they should just cancel the season and give him the Lombardi.

I think the real question is, is Tom Brady the next Nick Foles?
