Reality can and sometimes will diverge wildly from all analysis at any time. But no one in their right mind with everything on the line bucks the evidence and picks Foles over Smith in 2013.

People seem to forget just how raw and poor Foles was in 2012. His record was 1-5, a 60% completion rate, threw 6 TDs and 5 INTs.

Not great.

In fact, comparing his numbers to Alex Smith's in 2012, it's not even a question. Alex was by far the better choice in 2013.

Alex Smith numbers from 2011:

13-3, 61% completion percentage, 3144 yds, 17 TDs 5 INTs.

Alex Smith's numbers from 2013, benched in Week 10 for CK:

6-2-1, 1737 yds, 70.3 completion percentage, 13 TDs 5 INTs.

No one, and I mean no one, picks Foles over Smith after looking at those numbers. It's not even close.

This is the most ridiculous overreaction I’ve ever seen on here. And there’s an embarrassing amount of people contributing.

Reid is a helluva coach, guys.

Hes not Belichick and never will be but he can absolutely win a SB with the right talent.

Andy Reid is somewhere between a coordinator and a head coach. Too good to stay a coordinator and not good enough to win the big one at the next level. You can say the same about Marty Schottenheimer. Andy and Marty, two guys who dominate during the regular season but get their shit pushed in against the superior talent of the playoffs.

I'd even be willing to throw in a young prospect on the practice squad. Goes by Ubeja and has a photographic memory when it comes to the 1971 Chiefs and the best blues musicians in Nashville circa 1983. Guy is a real blue chip, go-getter.

Fixed, but yes. Let's make this happen.

I'm sick of this, you will have a ridiculous line of suitors because Mahomes is the QB, pick the best one and go. Pederson won the ****ing Superbowl with Nick Foles, we can do better guys, I don't care what your responses are, this is the camp I'm in until Reid is gone, Superbowl or not, he's a shitty coach that is all smoke and mirrors. We've fallen for his bullshit for long enough.
