It's just his opinion. Foles really is a bit more lumbering and methodical than most QBs, but he's also a gamer who can navigate the pocket if he gets even a little bit of space in front. Plus he's got a cannon of an arm and he's not afraid to use it. So, as always, it's gonna come down to the O-line's ability to protect, or the success of the run game to take the pressure off.

Here's Cosell on Foles back in March of this year.

NFL Films' Greg Cosell has worked is one of the more knowledgeable men when it comes to the X's and O's of football.
Cosell, who's a regular guest on The Hollywood Casino Press Box during the football season, joined Frank Cusumano on Tuesday to discuss the Rams' and Eagles' blockbuster trade involving Sam Bradford and Nick Foles.
We've transcribed the main talking points of the segment. You can listen to the whole thing below:
First thought when you heard about the trade:
"Quite honestly I couldn't believe that the Eagles would make the deal, that was my first thought. Especially when I heard the Rams are also getting a second-round draft choice."
What are the Rams getting with Foles?
"I think ultimately Foles is a complementary quarterback. I think he's a quarterback that needs the run game, that needs the offense to work effectively. They'll have a good defense. I think Foles can be a quality NFL starting quarterback. He throws the ball well. He's a big kid. He has some movement within the pocket. The key with Nick Foles is you have to define things for him. The longer he stays in the pocket, the worse he is and his arm strength declines...because he tends to throw off balance. So things need to be defined for him so the ball comes out. But I think there's talent there. Frank Cignetti is a detailed, disciplined guy and he's going to make sure that Nick Foles is going to do things the right way. I think that's important for Nick. I think he needs to be coached hard with the fundamentals because I think the talent level is pretty hard."
On Foles' accuracy and toughness:
"I think the accuracy is good. It obviously declines the more there's people around him. I think that's a critical thing that needs to be worked on. I don't think there's a problem with his toughness at all, he's a tough kid. He took shots in Philly. Some of them were his own doing, because he was a little slow getting the ball out. But I don't think there's any issue at all with toughness."
What do you think Chip Kelly was thinking with this move?
"The only thing you can think of is Pat Shurmur was in St. Louis...He's the OC in Philly and has a lot to say about the offense. Sam Bradford was a No. 1 pick. He's still viewed as a talented thrower. I think he's a little gun shy in the pocket right now and that's a problem in this league."
More on Bradford:
"I don't think his accuracy is what it was coming out of college. So I think you're dealing with a QB that has a lot to prove. They're starting to sell Sam Bradford jerseys on their website and that doesn't strike me as something you would do if you were ready to flip him. Sam Bradford (ran Kelly's) offense in college. He's played in the speed tempo offense and has been very efficient running it."
If you could have Sam Bradford or Nick Foles running your offense in 2015, who would it be?
"Nick Foles."
Cosell also discussed the upcoming NFL draft and what he thinks the Rams should do. You can listen to the whole segment here:
