Quarterback Nick Foles looks like the right quarterback at the right time for the still-developing Rams.
He has provided steady leadership through the months of preparation and the tumultuous first month of play. He isn’t a wizened veteran, but he has handled himself like one.
He has remained upbeat and publicly supportive of oft-struggling teammates while they learned through trial and error. Reporters wish his media sessions were more colorful, but Foles is careful not to create distractions.
He has only pointed fingers to identify good plays, not the bad ones. He has projected a positive demeanor in the locker room, on the practice field, along the sidelines and on the playing field.
