Kuck did indeed look impressive, what I rellay liked is that when he slides up or out of the pocket is that he is keeping his head up and looking downfield and then has that quick trigger to get the ball out while on the moive.. We saw a little of this from FOles last game but to be honest, have never realyl seen Vick be able to do this with any consistent success, once VIck puts the ball down, he is striclty looking to run and takes his eyes off the recievers.. (If you watch enough football, some of the biggest pass plays occur when this happens) Steelers Big Ben, Jay Cutler and even studs like AaronRodgers and Tom Brady and even McNabb in his hey day have made a career of doing this) This is not something VIck does well at all and when you watch him scrmable, many times he has Recievers wide open down the field that he just plain never sees, so even though Vick scrambles for 10-15 Yards, He could have made a 20-30-40 yard play if he kept his head up and stayed with the receivers longer…

Luck looked awesome. The one thing that stood out to me with him is he can throw receivers open (ie put the ball in tight windows/spots but in a position where only his guy could get the ball not the defender). I want an eagle qb to be able to do that someday

I like Foles’ potential-skills and attitude. He had a terrible team around him at A.U., not to mention coaching stability. It’s amazing the guy did as well as he did. Move him to #2 and give him more reps. He’ll seriously challenge for starter next season.
And we’ll have better secondary after the draft and/or FAgency

Easy Birdo, we are excited about the Rookie’s Prospects for the Future, what’s wrong with that… I think he has a great shot of being the Starter come 2014
Anyone see Colts QB A Luck versus the Rams.. He looked very impressive and appears to be the real deal right from the get-go..

Edwards I mean, not Richards

Only morons rave about a backup QB completing passes against back-ups in a preseason game.

I think that it is great that Foles had a good first game, but I don’t want to project on a guy from 1 pre-season game. He has the size, the arm and enough mobility to play the game well. Comparing him to Vick in any way is nonsense in my mind. I would rather compare him to Kafka and Richards who give you nothing. All things equal, Foles is the best back-up prospect they have, so start his development now, by making #2..

he looks like a young Tom Brady to me, with his form, field vision, and arm strength.

I was not high on him going into the draft, he was Paulmans guy. I know its only one game, but I have to admit I am impressed.

I remember you called it. GNCliff is impressed. He looks like Brady to me with him form, vision, and arm strength Paul……One can only hope he develops into something close to that quality of QB. Good Call. You are still the man Paul.
