G08, thoughts on the offense / system match that I have mentioned a few times? It's the entire basis for my belief that Foles is the better option, haven't heard you directly dispute it. He's excelled in this offense a few times, including a friggin Super Bowl. Mitch just played his second year in this offense and looked like absolute trash. I view these types of comparisons as far more useful than looking at anything else.
I think system plays a huge role for any QB, but we have to remember that this offense has its differences compared to what he did in Philly. Foles even admitted as such, so he's still learning.
I'm of the opinion that if he was as comfortable/versed in the offense as some think, wouldn't that have shown on the field via production and outright winning this QB competition?
If you pull his regular season numbers from his starts in KC through what he did in Jacksonville (DeFilippo was his OC) you'll come up with:
66.45%, 3096 yards, 18 TDs, 8 INTs, 6.62 YPA and a 90.7 rating. [19 games]
His career in the playoffs in this system nets a 97.6 rating. [5 games]
I don't know, man. Combine those two and you're around a
92.1 rating (unless anyone wants to crunch the numbers for me, the site I use doesn't allow you to pull playoff numbers without manually working them).
Trubisky in this offense is an
88.7 rating. [30 games]
