Numbers Game: It's Foles' Time

It wouldn't be a normal October in Philadelphia without some kind of buzz surrounding the NovaCare Complex. The hot topic this week: is it time for Chip Kelly to begin the Nick Foles era?

Foles was in command all last Sunday

Foles has looked stellar this season, nobody can deny that. But Michael Vick was putting together a solid year himself, before pulling his hammy in the second quarter against the Giants.

Instead of looking at overall numbers, I wanted to delve a little deeper into the key aspects that make a winning quarterback. To be a successful quarterback in this league, you must win.

The three key areas are third-down passing, red-zone efficiency, and fourth quarter passing.

After all, keeping drives alive, getting seven points versus three, and saving the best football for the fourth quarter sounds like a winning formula, huh? What a simple game.
