Foles only heeds to tweak to assimilate to the scheme and learn the catchers. Mitch needs to see Foles run this like pro as part of his maturation. I have no problem with the reps situation. If it wasn't Foles, I may feel differently.
On top of greatest show on turf having Proehl, the 07 Pats had Jabar Gaffney as their #4. After leaving NE, he enjoyed a few good seasons with Denver and Washington.
Some pretty strong shit for a guy that hasn't seen one live play this preseason.
Dude is fishing for angles and significance. he points to Foles throwing more deep balls but missing most of them like it's better than a midrange completion. I'm an arm punt fan and you need to hit enough of those to keep a D honest but after that it's about results. 1st part of that is still an issue for Mitch until we see different but he hasn't seen jack this year to tell him that.

I cannot stand gun-shy QBs. I have all the hope I can muster for Mitch to improve, because it's what's best for the team, but I never left the Fuck It I'm Going Deep clubThank you. I'm going to post it for others.
Mitch Trubisky Has a Strategy To Beat Nick Foles (And It's Infuriating)
Mitch Trubisky remains in control through four practices, and it's becoming clear he has a strategy to hold off Nick Foles.
Adam Hoge of NBC Sports hinted at it during his recent practice recap. When talking about Trubisky, he mentioned how clean of a practice the 26-year old had. Almost no errant throws with mostly good decisions. Then again, it’s easy to do that when playing it safe.
“THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY WAS LIMITED – WE DIDN’T REALLY SEE ANY BOMBS DOWNFIELD – BUT TRUBISKY HAD ANOTHER SOLID DAY OF PRACTICE. TAKING OUT THE BLUNDER AT THE END OF THURSDAY’S PRACTICE, HIS ACCURACY HAS BEEN VERY GOOD THE LAST TWO DAYS AND HE HAS YET TO THROW AN INTERCEPTION IN CAMP (ALTHOUGH HE HAD ONE DROPPED ON MONDAY).”
This has been in stark contrast to Foles. While his completion rate is lower and he’s had more near-interceptions, there is a clear reason as to why.
“FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT DAY, FOLES DID NOT MATCH TRUBISKY’S ACCURACY IN 7-ON-7S, BUT HE ALSO APPEARED TO BE ATTEMPTING TOUGHER THROWS...
Mitch Trubisky still hasn’t shaken his passivity from last year
Anybody with a decent memory won’t like hearing this. One of the most persistent issues from last season with Trubisky was his constant unwillingness to throw the ball downfield...Somewhere along the way, Trubisky became gun shy. By the sounds of things, he still hasn’t shaken that mentality. He works the short-to-intermediate range in practice. That may lead to plenty of completions. At the same time, defenses inevitably figure out how to defend that. Simply drop more players within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. This is what happened last year and Trubisky never figured it out.
Thanks. I didn't think there would be a ton of teams with 4 good to great WRs.
"Reviews from the media "
having a #4 that can put up 800 yards on another team is a gift. I figure that after your top three targets (likely two WRs and a TE), you're hoping that the next few guys could give 40-50 catches were they to get significant snaps over 16 games.
Then going with the best guy you got is the most likely means to that end. Right now it seems to be Mitch Trubisky, if suddenly it becomes Nick Foles, fine.
