I guess its a matter of preference both are good prospects.
First things first: I'm not put off by Weeden's age at all.
For me Weeden and Foles are similar prospects in that they are separated from the top tier QBs in this class because of ther comparative lack of athleticism and playmaking.
I think Weeden's velocity is really underrated, to my eye Weeden provides the same plus level of arm talent. (And it was on display at the combine where Weeden looked like he had the bigger arm then Foles)
From the games I've watched Weeden seems like the more polished QB.
Weeden is a more efficient passer even though to my eye plays with a more aggressive style (maybe its scheme or mentality?)
Foles seems to throw more 'gimme' passes where Weeden seems to attack more.
Finally Weeden to my eye has much cleaner footwork then Foles.
Weeden reminds me of a less athletic Andy Dalton but with better arm talent.
