Everyone is stinking happy about a clutch win and I share the feelings, but common people!!!
The whole team stepped up!! If it was not for outstanding performances by Maclin, Avant, DRC, and others, we would not be even talking about Foles.
The rest of the team made him look more then he really is. He is a Rookie. He will have setbacks so let's not make him into a second coming of Tom Brady just yet.
Handling the blitz to me is a signature of starting NFL ready QB.
Not Tampa, nor Dallas are strong blitzing teams. Cincy ,Washington, and Giants are going to put a lot more pressure on the kid and then we can really judge if he can handle it.
If he takes a step up then Great!! But even if he takes a step back, it does not mean that he is not a good QB, but merely that he is still a rookie learning on the job.
The only truthful thing you said in this entire rant was that" Foles is an unproven rookie"...at present. But with each new start more and more people ( who aren't biased ,and far more knowlegable than anyone here ) are finding and pointing out things about him and his game that is anything but rookie like. Sorry, if it makes you Vick fans a bit envious. But the fact is Foles has the makings of a good QB . Like most who turn out to be special, do so after
many seasons of playing the position..not just in 4 games.
As to your claim about Avant and Maclin being the sole reason for the win, is ridiculous enough in itself. How many games has Vick relied on his team mates to help him garner a "W" ?
Every single one. Just as
every QB does.
Thats why they are called team mates.
