Brady outperformed Foles last night but the narrative will be Foles was the better player...he wasn't. In the end Foles is a system QB reliant on a spread attack and a strong running game. We saw this play out before when Kelly was there and when Foles went to a different system it didn't work out. The Cassell comparison is more than fair, Matt Cassell was a system QB who went 11-5 as a back up QB thrust into starting only to be exposed outside of that system and culture. 


Someone will take on Foles, but Foles is so system dependent you better make sure you are willing to go to this spread attack and support him with a strong running attack. Again, I think he fits the Bills for these reasons but we will see. Case Keenum is literally the same guy and someone will over pay him too. Journeymen QBs rarely just become great starters for multiple years after traveling around. You tend to always revert back to the "back of your card".

A lot of people underestimate the effect good coaching has on a team in this sport.

I agree with your premise here quite a bit.
