I can't help but look at how Goff and Foles played for Fisher, then how they played since. Goff looked like a bust and Foles considered retirement before 30.
Now look at them. Some of these old school defense-minded coaches just can't get the best out of QB's.

He was getting hit a lot in the 1st half, and as a result, he looked off in the 1st half. Balls behind receivers, wobbly ducks, underthrow to Amendola, I mean, he didn't look normal Brady despite the yards. In the second half, the line afforded him more time, and he got back to being Brady. Of course, Brady is always ice in the 2nd half anyway....lol. Talk about a cool customer.
Totally agree. Despite the stats, Brady looks jittery back there, and his arm is about shot. That said, he led what...4 TD drives in a row at one point? Terrible secondary play all around last night, but still...it wasn't a bad performance by any stretch. He's just showing some cracks in the armor at 40. He should probably retire now, because I think next year will be the big fall for him, if he returns.

Pederson and Reich are both former QB's and came out looking like geniuses. Both in their development of Wentz and for their handling of Foles.
Not every coach is great with QB's. I'd love to see Andy play for a couple QB whisperers instead of Marv.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
