There is immense pressure in the Superbowl that starts from the moment you win your conference. Foles handled it all the way through.

The Eagles had a great team, and their QB played great. His team didn't just carry him through the playoffs. He made HUGE plays. HUGE throws. A HUGE catch. THAT is a leader and someone who doesn't wilt. Could not be more impressed. Compared to what the Bengals have at QB.... No comparison. The regular season numbers don't tell the complete story when comparing Nick Foles and Andy Dalton. Leave AJM out of it - they aren't on the same planet after last night. Nick Foles is a QB where if the team and coaching is solid he can win a Superbowl. Andy Dalton has rarely looked like that and even more rarely in prime time games or against strong competition.

It's just how it's been. I think Andy CAN do it. It's not impossible for him. But, 7 years in, he has to do it before I'll just be on board at this point.

Foles also has a good, aggressive young coach.  When Foles came out looking like shit after Wentz went down, he showed some life running the RPO, and his coach noticed.  He then went and tweaked the offense around, and made the RPO his featured look.  Instead of shoving square pegs into round holes, his coach improvised and adapted.  You'll never see that here.

Lest we forget, Foles has struggled mightily in the past.
