SkippyX Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Foles was 2-4 last year when the Bears rushed for less than 65 yards. Dalton is 7-17 when his team does not rush for 65+ yards. You switch Dalton for Foles last year and the Bears are at best 7-9 with a loss to the Falcons. They don't get to OT vs New Orleans (where receivers dropped 2 straight passes) They probably lose to Tampa as well (36 rushing yards!), so 6-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Apparently Dalton sniffing is a thing among the Rich Eisen types. "He deserves success for his hard work and his wife gives to charities!" (what does that have to do with performance in the NFL?) This lie is going around now. Well Dalton won't win many games with his arm but he won't lose many either! Andy Dalton Below 70 rating starts: 12 of his last 33 games were sub 70 ratings 36.4% 34 of his first 113 starts are below 70 rating. 30.0% 4 for 4 in his playoff games 100% Mitchell Trubisky Below 70 rating starts 8 of his last 33 games were sub 70 24.2% 6 of his first 19 were below 70 rating 31.6% 0 for 2 in his playoff games 0% He also adds value with running and scrambling Nick Foles Below 70 rating starts 10 of his last 33 games were sub 70 ratings 30.3% 4 of his first 28 games were below 70 14.3% This excludes 4 long relief games which were all quality 2012 vs Dallas 2013 vs NY 2016 vs Indy 2020 vs Atlanta This also excludes the week 17 exhibition game vs Dallas in 2017 feel free to add it if it enriches your life 1 for 6 in his playoff games 16.7% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 4 for 4 in having below 70 rating games in the playoffs as in all 4 games sucked below 70 Foles dipped below 70 in his last of 6 games (because Alshon handed the ball to the Saints and it counted as an interception) He is 1 for 6 Edited March 18, 2021 by SkippyX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Vincenso started his career with 6 straight losing record seasons. Archie started with 7 straight Dalton is at 5 now and counting. 2016-present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 11 hours ago, Broncofan said: It’s because he flashed a couple of games in Dallas. It's more because they have limited options and Dalton has past ties with the Bears staff (Lazor and Deflippo) than anything else. Pace and Nagy needed to make a change at QB in order try to save their jobs after Mitch and Foles both failed. They cannot go into McCaskey's office and say we're sticking either of them and expect to still have a job in November (which they may not anyhow). They needed a new game plan to sell. Dalton is Foles replacement. Mitch was let go, and now they have to find Mitch's replacement....which is probably moving up in the draft. 9 hours ago, Broncofan said: I would have gone Fitzmagic easily if they had a stopgap as plan B I would take Dalton over Fitz any day of the week, and both got paid the same amount. But that's arguing semantics as far as I'm concerned. The differences between Dalton, Foles, and Fitz are so minute that it's not even worth debating. All 3 of them are backup quality QBs and neither are good options as a viable starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The Bears should be hoping for as few "Prime Time" games as possible with the Red Rifle as their quarterback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
