I was hoping to see him as a guy that put his team on his back this year and lead them to big wins.
That really didnt happen.
Not saying it was his fault, but I didnt see him take that next step I kind of expected of him.
He could be a really good pro and I would take him in the second round, but not in the first.
Flacco is a somewhat fair comparison, but I think Foles upside is higher.
Im not sure there really is a better comparison, though.

Flacco does seem like a nice comparison, but even that seems a little optimistic. Then again, I guess that's the nature of comparisons. You're not going to say "he could be the next Jim Druckenmiller!"
(Though for the record, Jim Druckenmiller seems like an extremely fair historical comparison for Nick Foles)
