Could not disagree more. Kolb is a soft China Doll that isn't willing to stand in the pocket cause he's scared of getting hit. Haven't seen any of that with Foles. He's standing in there and throwing guys open. Plus he throws a GREAT deep ball.

I don't know how you call a guy that has had several concussions soft. Kolb still sucks as a QB, but I wouldn't call him soft. Foles is just a better QB.

Looking at the guy play, he's always running around when he doesn't need to. If he would just stand still and move around in the pocket he might not get hurt as much. To me he's got the deer in the headlights kind of look...like he's scared of getting rushed. Even one of the guys on Oakland mentioned it. Maybe soft isn't the right word...maybe jittery is better.

Kolb was basically the same guy on the Eagles as Foles is. Kolb now? Agreed, but that's what Foles will be as soon as the Eagles get their first rounders for him.

With the way he's playing Foles isn't going anywhere.

Vick is done there.

Kolb never threw this many TDs in a single season (career high = 9). Foles has thrown 16 in half a season. They are simply not the same guy.

I think the main difference between the two, is Foles is good with the potential to be great, Kolb is matt flynn with potential to be worse

The thing about Kolb was always potential. He wasn't great in Philadelphia, but looked competent, and some guys if you take them out of the framework of the WCO, they thrive. That was the belief on Kolb at least.

The Cardinals not only didn't have the framework to win with Kolb, they couldn't even keep him upright.

Foles was a great college quarterback who had some down moments as a rookie, but I thought he was the best player on their roster at QB going into the season. I figured we were really fortunate to draw Michael Vick in week 1. We were...it just didn't matter.
