Wentz is definitely a better quarterback in primitive systems, cuz he can run and make superhuman throws.

and gave him lots of things he is good at. They spoke of going back to lots of Chip Kelly's offense for Foles, things he is confortable doing. Collinsworth called it being a QB like a point guard, one read, simple quick decisions and throws.

The recent weeks of the Eagles offense was the primitive one, the one with Wentz was more fully a West Coast Offense with all the Pederson tweaks to it.

That said, Foles was nearly perfect in what they asked him to do in the last few weeks
Why do coaches often seem to force a system on players not suited for it? Tailoring just seems so much more practical and productive. Isn't that what happened with Goff? Tried to force a system that was a bad fit and he looked lost and was unproductive. Put him in a system where's he's comfortable and is doing things he's good at and he's a pro-bowler.

  You just described Eli Manning nm

RFIP178February 05, 2018 10:24AM

  Eli's not a backup

moklerman203February 05, 2018 10:30AM

  I'm saying it

RFIP234February 05, 2018 10:59AM

  I'm not an Eli fan, but...

moklerman187February 05, 2018 11:04AM

  You miss my point

  I'm still not 100% sold either way...

  Would Wentz have done better?

GarlicExile248February 06, 2018 08:14AM

  What really happened is the dumbed down the offesne for Foles

Blue and Gold398February 06, 2018 08:33AM

  Which further mystifies me

moklerman193February 06, 2018 08:55AM

  Doesn't speak highly for the Pat's D does it? :) (nm)

JamesJM187February 06, 2018 09:01AM

  Pats D, IMO, was really bad

  If the offense was so dumb, the Pats would have stuffed it -- NM

GarlicExile180February 06, 2018 09:29AM

  Offense was dumbed down, not me saying it

Blue and Gold175February 06, 2018 09:34AM

  Media saying Foles will cost you a 1st rounder

max230February 06, 2018 11:45AM

  Teams need to be careful on Foles
