Didn't Foles beat us last year, playing for Da Bears?
IIRC, it was Foles vs. Mr. (Un)Limited in the 4th quarter, Seahawks with a one-score lead, with just over 2 minutes left. Wilson ran himself into a 15 yard sack, Myer just missed a now-15-yards-longer FG, and Foles took the Bears down the field to score, and then Foles converted a 2-point conversion that resulted in a 1-point win by Da Bears.

So, by the head-to-head logic...
Foles > Wilson in 2021
Heinicke > Wilson in 2021

Not saying the other two are better than Wilson, but they did both beat him in close games where Wilson had the opportunity to lead a game-winning drive.

So yes, Hawks should bring in Super Bowl Champion starting QB Nick Foles if he's available, to compete with, and mentor Drew Lock. Foles has the experience and mental savvy and probably would be a really good mentor for Lock.

If only we won those two games, our last season won't be a total disaster, some might even argued that Geno might do better in those games.

The Washington game was intriguing, our pass/run was 31/12, theirs were 35/43; As one can safely assume, they dominated the time of procession, and they did 41 minutes to 18. Very interesting a QB with a hurt finger was making more passes.

41 minutes TOP to 18? Kind of a miracle the WA game was a close loss rather than a blowout.
