Foles and Historical Perspective

How hot is Nick? The Wall Street Journal is now writing about him. The only thing left is for him to make the cover of Tiger Beat magazine.

The WSJ did a piece on Foles rating and how that compares to other QBs after the same number of passing attempts in a season.

Foles has led the Eagles to victory in five of the six games he has started this season. He has thrown 16 touchdowns without an interception. His 128.0 passer rating on his 162 attempts is the fourth-best since at least 1991, according to Stats, LLC.

And…

To put Foles’s historic pace in perspective, he’s nearly matched Kurt Warner’s 1999 Super Bowl-winning start with the Rams. Warner, stepping in for injured starter Trent Green, had a 131.5 rating in his first 162 pass attempts.

Foles’s season has surpassed Tom Brady’s 2007 start when the Patriots finished 16-0 in the regular season, Aaron Rodgers’s MVP season in 2011 and Drew Brees’s Super Bowl-winning season in 2009.

Kinda decent.
