WHAT’S this about Mark Sanchez “resurfacing as a starter under Chip Kelly”?! I’m glad that Sanchez feels rejuvenated and that the Eagles were the best place he could have landed (because no one likes flipping burgers); but I’m not at all prepared for any discussion that puts ButtFumble in the driver’s seat.
Don’t get me wrong! Sanchez is an Eagle now, so as an Eagle fan I want him to do well here; but by “do well” I mean hold a clipboard and wear a baseball cap, as Nick Foles goes on to challenge Brett Favre’s ‘consecutive starts by a QB’ record. I’m not being anti-Sanchez, just pro-Foles. (Besides with [Marcus Mariota] coming out of Oregon next year, Foles doesn’t need the aggravation.)
Right now we have a WR coming off of a devastating injury, and were folding in a rookie to replace one of the NFL’s premiere deep threats. Still with that, Kelly says that the Offense is light years ahead of where it was last year. So you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t want the boat rocked right now.
I would love to see what SANCHEZ has in Chip’s system! I think he does have all the intangibles FOLES has plus!!! Just needs the correct system an COACHING! Other then that…. LETS GO MARIOTA!!!!!!

I have to give him the benefit of the doubt, I guess. It’s not like the Jets were an offensive juggernaut that bogged down once Sanchez got there.

I hope not.

If Sanchez is starting then Foles is injured and the season is over.

Which is all I ever expect when any back-up has to take over. It kills me when people act like the back-up is supposed to be starter quality when half the time starters aren’t even starter quality.
When your back-up comes in and your season is still alive, it’s not the norm. We here in Philly have been spoiled since the 80’s when we could yank out Jaworski and put in Cunningham. After that we had Cunningham and WHOA BOY!
Remember 1991? Bryce “That Asshole” Paup took out Randall in the first game, and we went through Jeff Kemp, Jim McMahon, Brad Geobel and we even brought a guy out of retirement and we still went 10-6. Then McNabb and Feeley, McNabb/Garcia, McNabb/Kolb/Vick, Vick/Foles…Even Foles/Sanchez is better than most have, but if Sanchez ends up starting it’s silly to expect big results.
