Cris Carter Someway, Somehow Thinks Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles Is Not A Starting QB In The NFL
I don’t wish up Cris Carter the Dan Marino route that he should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell, but c’mon man. This guy isn’t a football novice. How can Carter be a HOF WR, a NFL analyst, and a living, thinking, breathing human and say Nick Foles isn’t a starting QB in this league? He only had 2 good games this year? Buddy, I guess we were spanked on something when Bid Dick Nick slung for 4 TDs in his first start vs the Giants and got overly hard during the second half of the divisional game vs. the Falcons. Not to mention the two games he did play well in, the NFC Championship and Super Bowl, were the two of THE GREATEST GAMES EVER PLAYED BY SOMEONE AT THE QB POSITION IN THE PLAYOFFS. Just look at these postseason:
Record: 3-1 (L not his fault as Riley Cooper should still be running after that dropped drag pattern vs. the Saints in 2015)
Comp%: 71.94 (highest in NFL history)
Yards: 1132
TD/Int: 8-1 (one 1 int also not his fault, tipped in the air by Alshon Jeffrey in Super Bowl)
QB Rtg: 113.2 (highest in NFL history)
Yds/Avg: 8.39
I don’t know. Something tells me if you can do it in the clutch, you can do it anytime. And I get it. Nobody really gave Nick Foles any credit before coming back to Philly. Why? Well, to put it bluntly, they’re fucking idiots. I don’t care what system you’re in or coach you’re playing for, if you put up 27 TDs to 2 picks in a single NFL season, you can BALL. Maybe not that consistently at the highest possible level, but the potential is there. Keep in mind the ONLY very rough year Foles had in his career as a starter was under Jeff Fisher in 2015. Why is that noteworthy? Well, aided by the constant dump in his .500 pants, Fisher also had Case Keenum and Jeff Goff on his roster perform shitty, as well. Seems like they ended up producing decent results outside of Fisher’s regime, no?
Plus there are guys like AJ McCarron slated to start this season for goodness sake. And Kirk Cousins just signed an absolutely bananas deal when in reality, who is worth more?
Respect the Super Bowl MVP or else he’ll release his Kraken on humanity on everyone and we’re all doomed. Now somebody get call Cris Carter’s “Fall Guy”. This time it’s not to cover for some Angel Dust. Go spew some hot takes with your FS1 buttbuddy Colin Cowherd. Just be mindful of when his lover is around.
