Okay guys, first of all, let me just say that play was incredible. Here's what's troubling me. My eyes told me that the offense moved the ball better with Nick Foles under center. Was that due to the caliber of competition, or was that due to Nick's having had more time to learn the offense and his "processing speed" is faster when the other team is blitzing? Justin has to read where to throw the ball when they blitzed, Foles just seemed to know where to throw the ball when they blitzed.
I have no doubt that Fields will reach that same level of knowledge, but is he there yet? I don't know.
You cant really go off of Foles because weve seen what he can do in this sort of offense with time to throw and also he has has played in the original version ,Pedersons version, Defillpos version ,and Nagys version in fact I would say I would be more comfortable with Foles calling plays than I am with Nagy calling plays .
Nagy has bungled this whole thing because as I argued back after the draft .The fastest path forward for Fields was with the #1 offense vs the #1 defense as there is no better test he could face than Mack ,Roquan, Hicks ,and Bojack every day .
The issue is that the #1 offense hast actually done anything together and so its yet another offseason and camp wasted so Im not even sure Fields could've been properly prepared for week one without the #1 offense playing together in any preseason games .
Fields may be better off waiting for a coach that is something other than a motivational speaker at this point because we really fully gauge his readiness the way the Nagy has set this up which I think is intentional.
