On paper, statistically speaking, or whichever method of comparability you opt to make, the Washington Redskins have a choler plus over the metropolis Eagles on Sunday, Nov 18.  That plus could be Eagles QB archangel Vick officially traded as "OUT" cod to a concussion he uninterrupted in Week 10 and rookie QB Nick Foles effort his prototypal NFL start. 

If it were to become downbound to Redskins QB parliamentarian Griffin threesome and Eagles QB Vick in a head-to-head, expose it out, broad scoring afternoon—I conceive RG3 would hit a meliorate afternoon.  He is more easy on the move, though at nowadays that would be highly touted as a humourous statement.

Prior to the trauma Vick uninterrupted terminal week, RGIII has a backwards judgement (QBR) that puts him 10th in the NFL his rookie flavour versus Vick and his stager noesis and undergo with a unsatisfactory QBR senior of 27th of 34 play QBs.

In candid rivalry Sun at FedEx Field right of Washington, DC, RGIII should hit a meliorate mettlesome statistically than Eagles rookie QB Foles.  The azygos bourgeois is RGIII and his knowledge to separate the football.
