    KC went from 32nd (dead last) in scoring last year to 11th in the NFL. I'm pretty sure they are happy with the upgrade they made after their last decade of QB failures.

    sure Alex Smith will get you a couple of good regular season wins, but as we know with his history, when it tough gets going and you need him to win an important game( he catches a bit of stagefright and usually chokes lol)

    You mean like the one and only time he was in the playoffs and took them to the edge of the Superbowl before a punt returner dropped a football and gave the Giants the game? In his two playoff games, he had a 100 QB Rating, 5 TDs, and 0 INTS. You don't seem to understand the terms "stagefright" or "chokes".

    Skyrim talking about Manziel running the first opportunity he gets...:p

    What did Griffin just do? Twice on that final drive. Missed Helu because he wanted to run(or just flat out missed him) and then the last play, didn't even throw it up for the Hail Mary.

    he choked, he will never win a big game

    Kaep has more potential, wouldnt be suprised if the Chiefs end the season on a slide, and lose their first playoff game

    Griffin makes that throw to Helu, and the defender nails him in the face

    Foles will get knocked out of another game, he already was knocked out of one... he is injury prone... that chip kelly offense while exciting exposes to the qb to a lot of hits lol.. just a matter of time before Foles gets knocked out again

    how is foles making me look dumb, any qb can function in that offense lol... but their gonna get injured... hasnt mariota already been hit a lot this year and suffered injuries, running that offense comes with the price of your qb.. its not sustanible, and the nfl will figure it out, just like they did the read option, we will see sometime this year or early next year if foles can function without a gimmick offense and adjust and still be successful like these young qb's are still successful without the read option

    RG3 isnt running the read option that much this year, he ran it a few times this game, but he is still an accurate qb without it... look at the weapons on offense that some of the other qb's have and compare it with griffin, a qb is only as a good as the wideouts on his team, its a miracle that Cam is winning games with no true number 1 wideout

    Let's examine Philly's 5 losses.

    1. San Diego in Week 2. Score 33-30. Sorry but Vick put up 400+ yards passing with 2 tds and another 30+ rushing with 1 td and 0 turnovers. This loss was on the defense.

    2. Kansas City in Week 3. Vick takes blame here. He had multiple turnovers and was a big part of the reason they lost but I wouldn't count out the defense (allowed Kansas City to convert 3rd and 10+ yards easily that night) or the offensive line (allowed 2 fumbles and 5 sacks) or special teams (missed a game tying field goal and lost a fumble). Vick takes most of the blame in this one, no doubt, as it was easily his worst performance of the season.

    3. Denver in Week 4. Vick had 0 turnovers again and provided nearly 300 yards of offense. The defense gave up 52 points though. I don't see how you can blame this on him.

    4. Dallas in Week 7. Vick didn't even play in this game and Foles actually started. He stunk up the joint too before getting knocked out of the game. You can pin this one on him as well partially since he completed less than 50% of his passes and only threw for 80 yards through 3 quarters.

    5. New York Giants in Week 8. Vick played a quarter and a half after coming back from injury and everybody who actually watched the game saw that he was still significantly injured but Kelly had no other choice with Foles out with a concussion and Barkley has been atrocious every time he has stepped onto the field.

    There you have it. You might be able to pin 2 of the 5 losses on Vick's play but let's not act like he was the only problem this year. That's not to say Foles is anything less than outstanding, he has been and it's incredible, especially for Eagles fans but blaming the losses on Vick or saying the outcomes could have been different is nothing but pure hating and/or hogwash and judging from the post and previous ones I'm going to guess the former on your part. Not only that but Vick has been the consummate teammate as well saying that Foles deserves the start and not whining about it being him (Vick) who should be the starting quarterback. He's been respectable through his Philadelphia tenure but people continue to pinpoint him as the big issue for whatever reason they can find.

    OK so you confirmed what I said. That Philly would comfortably be in first with Foles starting. 2 more wins, likely

    Likely is not a confirmation. It's a maybe, might be, could be, could have been. Reading comprehension buddy, try it. It's just as I said, either hating or hogwash because nobody knows what could have been. Nice try though. LOL!
