Foles played in seven games and made six starts before a hairline fracture in his throwing hand sidelined him for the regular season finale against the Giants. From a statistical standpoint, Foles threw for more yards (1,699) and had more attempts (265) and completions (161) than any rookie quarterback in franchise history. He drastically improved from a turnover standpoint. After throwing three interceptions in his first two appearances, Foles had just two the remainder of the season. He put together a string of three straight games with a passer rating of 89 or better. He completed at least 60 percent of his pass attempts in five out of seven appearances.
Vick began the season as the starter and led the Eagles to a 3-1 start. All three of the wins were come-from-behind victories. However, Vick's season was defined by injury and turnovers. Vick threw six interceptions in the first two games. In addition, he lost five fumbles on the season including two in the costly Week 5 loss at Pittsburgh which began the team's downward spiral.

He's got a strong football IQ as he was checking out of plays in preseason and then, of course, calling the play on the game-winning touchdown throw against Tampa Bay. He's got the intangibles as Foles earned the respect of the players in the locker room.
Certainly, the new head coach will impact Foles' development. The rest of the NFL has plenty of film on Foles now. How will Foles adjust? The Eagles are optimistic about Foles, but he's still got a lot to prove this offseason.
Free Agents To Be: None
