Seriously Manny. Who knows. The Eagles Offense was buil around QBs who have a different skill set. Doesn’t mean Eli would not have been as successful but who knows
I don't see much difference between what Eli was in 2011 and what he is now, except that he has an O-line that is worse (not that it was "all that" back then, except that he had Bradshaw & Jacobs).
McAdoo (to his credit) improved his footwork and worked to help him increase his percentage by featuring a dink-and-donk offense. The problem - his best receiver targets all went down (as his O-line was still stinking).
So ... you put him behind an O-line like Philly had this year (which he has NEVER had here), I'm positive he would have taken them to the championship game (and very likely beaten Tom again).
had landed in Nazi Germany? What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub? What if Napoleon had a B-52 Bomber?
one pair of walkie talkies would have been as game changing for Napoleon as an airplane.
Napoleon - the Baker Mayfield of QBs
Agree. I should have credited those titles to old SNL skits....which they all were I always enjoyed those skits and as a history buff, also found them to be interesting imponderables.
And Foles never played his playoff run better than Eli did during his playoff runs. Anyone really believe Foles overcomes that 49er defense in the NFCC game? Come on now.
I mean when journeyman Nick Foles beats Brady, Right ?

Ok
However, my curiosity got the better of me time. My mistake.

I get your question. I don t think they win with Eli.
Foles played the last two games at a level few quarterbacks play.
