By the time he filled in for Vick, he had a handfull of games under his belt. Foles is still a rookie like the ugly version of Kolb we saw.

There's definitely an adjustment period when any starting QB goes down unless there's a system in place and all QBs fit that system, like in Houston, New England or Green Bay. That's why we saw the Patriots STILL make the playoffs with Matt Cassel taking over for Brady and Matt Flynn puts up 50 points for the Packers. I don't see that setup with the Eagles and Vick. They should have held onto Vince Young as backup, he's a mobile Vick-like QB. Against us for the Bills this preseason, he proved he can still outrun the D.

In Philly now, they have backups that play completely different than their starter.

So do we, but our #1 hasn't proven to be injury-prone yet.

Vince young had plenty of chances in philly. He couldnt get it done. Anyway my point was more that the team could adjust rather quickly to a new qb not that a qb could step rite in. Although i for one believe foles will be a much better qb than vince young in the nfl.
