Dak is not better than Foles

[DFWJC]

Where is the popcorn emoji?

 

[Whirlwin]

Foles had one great run in his life, thats it. Otherwise he has been suspect.

Personally , I take Dak every day all day, but I know I will get flack from the haters. Hard to argue a SB ring.

Tony Romo doesn't have a Super Bowl ring. And Nick Foles does. I put Nick Foles and Trent Dilfer category

 

[MojaveJT]

All the stats say he is way better

What did all those stats get Romo?

Foles is a SB winning QB. Fact.

 

[DFWJC]

Foles gets $88 mill over 4 years (22 mill year). Thats your Dak contract.

The bigger deal, by far, is the 50 million guaranteed.

 

[Whirlwin]

The thing about Foles is the Rams and Chiefs had him in as a backup after his first Philly stint and he was ready to retire when the Eagles called him to hold the clipboard again.

And if Carson Wentz didn't get hurt Foles' magic postseason run of 2017 never happens.

Maybe the Jaguars just made a monumental mistake; who knows? He won't have the weapons around him he had with the Eagles, I know that much.

Jeffrey's was good for Nick Foles. He's a lollipop passer. Kind of like Cooper Rush. He was just put in a great situation

Are you really going to put Tony Romo and Nick Foles in the same sentence. Or even in the same category come on even Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl Nick Foles LMAO how many games have you actually watched him play other than maybe a playoff game. I've watched his entire career I've watched every Eagles game he's played in. He's a joke interception machine

Zach Ertz being open 100 percent of the time helps any QB, too.

Fair analysis. There's no question you can't consider Foles' Super Bowl win equal to the typical Super Bowl winning QB. He took over a team with a stranglehold on homefield advantage in December.

However, I do think he's proven two things. 1) He can produce if you have the right system around him and 2) He can win in the playoffs.

I would just love to have him in Dallas this year. Put the onus on the coaching staff. We know this guy can do it if he's put in the right position. It's on you to put him in that position. He'd have enough weapons in Dallas. It's a different situation than Jacksonville.

I love getting Jason Witten back another End Zone threat. I think people forget we lost our starting tight end wide receiver and Center at the beginning of the season

If anyone has truly watched Nick Foles play throughout his career with the Eagles you cannot possibly choose him over Prescott.

What really helped the Eagles was Darren Sproles special teams they always had a short field. I think he was the Superstar of that team

Excellent points. I don't want to start another Dak Prescott argument, but I would like to see Dak with a coaching staff that knows how to maximize his abilities.

I do know this- Tony Romo hid a lot of Scott Linehan's foolishness.

You guys sure are good at nitpicking reasons for Foles success but seem flabbergasted when told that Dak’s fluke season is a result of being the only QB in NFL history to have 3 first team All-Pro OL and a first team All-Pro RB on the same team.
Dak slobberers are always good for a laugh...

It's not really remotely factual to say Foles out-gunned Brady. Brady was the better QB that game. 505 yards compared to 387. But, okay, what do yards mean? So how about 10+ yards per attempt compared to only 8. Or a clean 3-to-0 TD to INT ratio compared to a 3-to-1. Or a 115 passer rating compared to 106.

He didn't out-gun Brady in any sense of the term. But even if you hadn't lied about that career-highlight night.... the rest of his career stats still tell a different story about him.

Foles has a career passer rating 8 points lower than Dak's. And in the most recent season, Dak's regular season and postseason passer ratings were better. Foles posted a passer rating of 70.6 in the playoffs this year. Yikes.

The stats don't lie. Nick is flat-out simultaneously worse and older than Dak. So of course his contract figure has nothing to do with what a better, younger guy is going to receive.

This thread's premise is wrong and dumb.

Foles has been able to win without that stud RB. His completion percentage in the Playoffs was 70 percent. He took the eagles road and beat the Rams twice and he went into Chicago and that was one of the best defenses in the league. He beats good teams without a stud RB or stud WR. He does have one of the best TEs though.

Foles better than the hapless Dilfer. LOL But yah, its close.

That is so true!

Romo
Foles
Dak
Dilfer

 

[Gameover]

it should be but the owner has been gassing this jag up for 2 years now. also he probably gets another $20M for his "intangibles" and another $20M just because it's the Cowboys.

Biggest baby on the planet

I remember when your whinny *** used to rip Romo for having a ‘noodle’ arm

My team don’t win enough anymore, so I’m going to pout about everything like a lil batch

Nick Foles is an interception machine he proved it in this year's playoffs

I mean, Foles isn't really an interception machine, necessarily. A 68-to-33 TD to INT ratio in his career is fine enough that it's unfair to call him an interception machine.

Though it's worth mentioning his career numbers are somewhat buoyed by a bizarre outlier season in 2013 where he posted numbers that were a strange fluke for him. He posted a +25 TD/INT differential that season with his 27-2 TD-to-INT ratio. Other than his fluke 2013 season, Foles has never once done better than throwing 3 more TDs than picks. His TD/INT differentials have ranged from -3 to +3 in each of his 7 seasons other than the one fluke year.

Even at his absolute worst in 2017, Dak threw 9 more scores than picks that year. Not too shabby for a guy in his career-worst season. Dak's floor is surprisingly high.

If you take away Dak's career-best season when he had a 22-to-4 ratio of TDs to INTs, he still throws 2.1 TDs for every INT. When you take away Foles' career-best season, he throws 1.3 TDs for every pick.

Dak's the better QB when it comes to avoiding interceptions.

He does have one of the best TEs though.

He had great pass catchers that year, a very good stable of backs that were running well, and that defense was great in the playoffs. He also has a real coach and a real offense. Oline was very good. There pretty much isnt anything Foles didnt have on that SB run. THAT being said, you have to give the guy credit.
