After this week's action:

Bradford has a passer rating of 83.7
And Foles is at 77.6

My take has always been that between Foles, Bradford and Sanchez, whichever QB played for Kelly would have a better season than whoever played for Fisher/Cignetti. Any combination of the three, doesn't matter, just seems to me it's baked into the cake.

But Bradford and Foles are making a battle of it...

Granted the OL and the recievers played bad, but Foles played just as bad against GB. A real head scratcher. I will credit him for his toughness though. Holy hell! How many times is this guy going to bounce back up from vicious hits?

It's the old catch 22, when Foles make a play under pressure, like the chest pass, he's great. When he tries to make a play while getting hit and the throw comes up short and is picked, he's an idiot. It's a fine line, definitely sucks when you're on the wrong side of it...

Bradford is the better QB, it was all about the health. Personally I would have rather kept Sam.

Great players make great plays. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Foles sucked yesterday. The o-line was terrible for Gurley too but he made the plays
I like the kid but am a Rams fan first and foremost. If he cant cut it, I'd say move on. On the flip side, I definately feel he won 2 games for us that "the other guy" wouldnt have....

I know I don't want Bradford. I've seen enough of his game to know he's not the guy I want QBing my team over the long haul.

I'm not sure about Foles yet. I'm concerned about him not protecting the ball, and why that keeps happening to him. Can he get better? I need to watch him after the bye for at least 5 more games.

I really think Matthews' illegal-and-dirty-spear and drive-to-the-dirt-with-the-crown-of-his-helmet had a lot to do with Foles' play yesterday.

59/89(66.3%) 560(6.3 ypa) 2TD(2.2%)/4INT(4.5%) 72.3 rating
61/101(60.4%) 521(5.2 ypa) 6TD(5.9%)/2INT(2.0%) 85.5 rating

Bradford's first two starts vs his last three. Kind of weird. His completion % and yards per attempt declined but his TD/INT ratio went from 1/2 to 3/1. I don't know if much can really be taken from the numbers.

I do know that Bradford didn't really have a good game yesterday even though the numbers turned out okay. Two red zone picks aren't going to get it done against most other opponents. But, for some reason I think those are picks that he's going to have to endure as part of becoming less conservative. So, the good is that he was taking shots in the end zone, the bad is that a couple got picked.

Something else I think is yesterday reminded me a bit of Foles in general. How many times for the Eagles would he overcome turnovers and ultimately win the game? That's what yesterday's game reminded me of. Bradford screwed up early but finished strong. It wasn't a dramatic victory or anything but he just kept slingin' it and the Eagles rolled.

Sadly, I don't know if either is good enough to get to the playoffs with their current team/situation, let alone win a SB.
