Has he ever played for the Redwoods?

"Gets Rattled Under Pressure: Nick Foles loses composure and gets rattled when he is under pressure."

To me, it is becoming apparent that how a QB handles himself under pressure is one of the most important criteria. Forget the combine and forget campus practices where everything is scripted.

What separates Cassel from being a good QB - no composure under pressure. They need a guy who can calmly step up, buy some time, keep his eyes down field and make a throw. No Foles, no Jones.

I've honestly never seen that out of Foles. To me, he seems to play his best when the game is on the line (like the way he brought the team back in the USC game this year).

Stanzi was horrible about that in his junior yet but his senior season he was ice.

That seems to be the major problem with KC QBs.

Montana - cool as ice.
Grbac - deer in headlights, plus a wimp.
Gannon - could buy time with his feet.
Huard - fetal
Croyle - composed but would break with gentle wind.
Thigpen - not a good QB, but his mobility enabled chicken shit salad to be made.
Cassel - no composure.

If the report is off of this year, I think Foles was just trying to do too much. He had a shit team around him, with one marginal receiver (Criner) and no running game. The Arizona defense was awful, so he knew he had to score every time he went out there. It's tough to take a lot from this season.

That's why it is called a highlight...rather than lowlight.

Dumbass.

By the way, as you can tell from the video, Foles did take some snaps from center. He wasn't just a spread monkey that was in the shotgun all of the time.

Bewbies · 12-15-2011, 03:47 PM

I didn't get to watch Foles much this year, I loved him last year. Be interesting to see where he ends up going.

Not in the first round. maybe in the second or third.

I like Tannehill alot better in the second if he was there.

If we are going qb in the first, especially early, it's Luck, Barkley, or RGIII.
