The sane among us wonder, how can this be? How, after a
historic season in QB rating (119.2), Touchdown-to-interception ratio (27-2),
highlighted by a seven SEVEN touchdown performance against the Raiders, and a
strong playoff game (23-33, 2 TD’S, 0 INT), was The Stork no longer good enough
to start here and Sanchez is? By the
way, this vocal throng of Eagles fans were/are basing their opinion on Foles on
their “gut” and the f@#$%&* PRESEASON!!!
Preseason: see also, small ass vanilla sample that can in no possible
way be used to develop any type of informed opinion, other than the regular
season will begin soon.
There is clearly
only one reason that The Stork’s competence as the starting QB has been under
siege… facial aesthetics. Why else would Eagles fans think that
Sanchez, with his CAREER 55% completion percentage, 68 TD’s to 69 INT’s for his
career (lowest INT total for a season, 13), and the “butt-fumble,” be thought of
as the player to lead the Birds to a higher elevation of success than what
Foles can potentially do?
The face card is
often played with more subtlety than the race card but it applies here. Let’s look at the two QB’s side-by-side.
The Stork’s face
suggests a nice guy, which it’s well know the handsome-challenged have to be to
compensate for a lack of natural beauty.
Meanwhile, look at Sanchez. Those
dreamy eyes, strong cheek bones, the dark curly hair… Don’t look too long because
you will get hypnotized.
Sure the Stork is
not everything that you dream of when you think of your team’s starting QB, but
he’s nice, respectful, he holds the door for us, and he’s good with kids. On weekends in the off season, he will be
perfectly happy renting a movie and making dinner. The Stork is dependable.
Sanchez on the
other hand, seems like the type to party hard on a Wednesday and thus, late to work on Thursday. When at the club, his eye will be wondering
all over the place except for who he came with.
Which is ironic since he stares down receivers. If you believe in him, he will hurt your
feelings. One shouldn't get caught up
in his glamorous looks, or his decent PRESEASON performance. Sanchez is not dependable.
Eagles fans need
to learn how to appreciate a stable relationship or they are always going to be
looking.
