There is no denying that. So if I had my choice I would take Foles over Dalton for that reason. Higher probability that Foles will perform better than Dalton in big games.
Not really. Foles had a 70.6 QBR in the playoffs this year, and the Eagles failed to score over 16 points in both games. They also only scored 15 in the Wild Card round against the Falcons last year. The Eagles have been held to under 17 in 3 of his 5 playoff starts, but are 2-1 in those games thanks to some stellar outings by their defense. He doesn't necessarily elevate his game in crunch time. He's just wildly inconsistent and sometimes the swings go in his team's favor. Other times, they win in spite of him.
