Watching the videos I don't think Foles throws with the accuracy or velocity as Bradford. I still think he's a good solid starting QB which is what the Rams needed. Plus factor in he's coming off a collar bone injury opposed to two mcl knee injuries and I like his chances to stay healthy better. Welcome to the team Foles. I'm happy you're here!

Few QBs have the arm talent Bradford does. 5 guys at most. Probably closer to 3-4.

True. He was probably the best option the Rams had this year for a talented healthy QB. Plus, I don't think anyone thought it would work out as well as it did.

Foles is solid but does not read that well from what I have seen....which i admit is not a ton. His 2 int season was an an illusion. But just staying on the field will help the Rams.
It will be interesting to see how Foles adjusts to being under center in a more traditional offense. Bradford I think could flourish in the no huddle system in Philly.
Staying on the field is the issue there. Foles to me is C+ b

If he's no good its only a 1 year contract. I know who I'd rather have under center if healthy but hey...

But...Foles has better touch and hits guys in stride better. I dunno that it's as cut and dried as "better".

It might be that Foles is a better fit for what the Rams are trying to do and the schedule they play...

ok yea he had ONE very impressive year and I'm in no way a Foles hater, he played his ass off but the body of work and a broken clavicle bothers me. the biggest side not to think about is comparing Foles playing 6 games against shitty NFC East defenses and teams vs. the jaugernaut NFC West defenses and team schedule. oh and we still have no line and options are fading fast

And Erin Andrews is way better looking than Nick Foles. They should have had the camera on her for the entire interview.

Usually I would not debate on that fact my Ram brother, but tonight, Nick Foles looks fabulous!

I prefer a broken clavicle over a double ACL tear.

As for the line they still have a shot at Wiz, Blalock, Boling, Barksdale and the draft is ahead. Scherff, Tomlinson, etc. they could get two out of the draft.

heard Wiz is looking elsewhere I with our FA linemen track record I'm extremely nervous. you can only throw in so many rookies and pray for the best

I've had 2 broken clavicles. Not a big deal.

Maybe he is trying to drive up the price? If the Rams sign Barksdale and Blalock the team is only short a center...Cam Erving come on down!
