08:06 AM ET 11.15 | Larry and Melissa Foles had planned to attend Sunday's Eagles game in Washington anyway, but it promises added significance with their son likely to see his first NFL start. Larry Foles said Wednesday he feels his 23-year-old son is "ready for any challenge." "He's one of the most earnest, humble, good people in the world," Larry Foles said. "He understands adversity, and he understands the patience to get through it. He really understands, we talk about it all the time, the Philly fans. He said, 'Dad, they're tough. They're going to let you have it. But, boy I tell you, if you do well, they're going to cheer you on like crazy.' I said, 'are you ready?' He said, 'I'm ready for it, I really am. I love fans like that.'"

Well, then you might be a star with the Philadelphia Eagles.

If his mom knows anything about that Philly O-line, she won't be. What mom wants her little boy killed?

I can just see her sitting in the stands with her eyes shut tight and her hands in front of her face.

I thought he looked pretty good when he came in for Vick. Obviously, a little off on some throws, but expect a week of handling snaps in practice will help.

Remember those words kid. These are the same fans who stoned Santa.

Better fit him with a bigger one... I don't think Foles could wear Vick's flak jacket around his arm.
That's a big dude...

Yes he is. He showed promise under some very bad circumstances.

So Foles is ready, but Quinn is still not? Maybe we should confirm with Brady Quinn's dad.

He better be ready to run for his life behind that line, and have more speed than he displayed at the combine.
