In a way Nick Foles reminds me of a great NBA player-Scottie Pippen. Very smooth, always calm, extremely accurate with passes

That is absolutely not who he is.

He has a long history of being very streaky and up and down. And when he is panicked he will throw the ball all over the place. His accuracy is not one of his consistent strengths. And he has fallen completely apart on the field. Other qbs for example that had roughly the same conditions he had with the Rams never melted down as bad as he did when he did---including Clemens, Hill, and Keenum (Davis on the other hand DID melt down as bad as Foles did when Foles finally melted down). In meltdown mode Foles lacked even a hint of confidence and was basically a panicked wreck.

Even this year out of his 6 games played he had his normal bad streak---against Oakland in the regular season, he completed 50% of his passes for a qb rating of 59.4, and the following week against Dallas he completed 36% of his passes for a qb rating of 9.3.

There's a lot that explains why he was good for the Eagles in the post-season, and also why he had wildly bad streaks with both the Rams and the Eagles the first time he was there.

He does have up streaks along with the down streaks, so there's that. The Eagles coaching staff took advantage of a great OL and a great running game to set him up to do what he does best. The Eagles receivers are adept at making the not-always-accurate-downfield Wentz look good and they did the same for Foles. Pederson was Foles's qb coach the year he was drafted, so he knew Foles well enough to build his confidence and set him up to do the things he did best. And the Eagles offense exploited some problems that were built right into the Patz passing defense.

Lots of factors and it all played out right. Just first-rate coaching is the main thing, and I mean on a lot of levels.


....

That’s the best explanation I’ve seen on Foles as a reality check.
