And if that's the case, he should just be starting Minshew anyway.

Marrone just said that he's playing Foles because he gives them the best chance to win. So now, if Foles loses next week, Minshew has become better in 1 week of practice. Just awful.

Ugh stupid is as stupid does.  Why does this team have to convince me it is raining when really they are just whizzing on my fandom.

How are you going to win when a penalty and a sack are the end of your first half production?  Screens work when the team is pinning back and over pursuing.  We ran a screen against a stacked line where they were pressing the WRs and maintaining their assignments.  We have light and thin WRs and they were expecting them to make people miss and/or truck their way to first downs.  When we do execute, we get BS flags on phantom holding.  On defense when we have a decent showing the opposing team can hold and pull the player out of the play with no penalty.

Building teams you know build on their success and improve down the stretch (see improved play by Miami and Jets as an example).  Hopeless teams like ours fizzle and sputter but do enough to have no chance at top draft choices.

No that's a bunch of [BLEEP]..

The problem is most definitely on the QB as well. If Bortles got all the blame in years past for this team's failures, the QB now is most definitely getting the blame as well.

There's plenty of us who were saying that same thing about this team with Bortles (far bigger issues than QB), yet everybody wanted to make it all about him. Don't try and change [BLEEP] now. Foles is garbage, he always has been and he's a big part of the problem.

There has always been bigger issues going on here than QB play, but that wasn't the narrative in the past and it sure isn't going to change now. QB is an issue still, among plenty of others obviously, but QB play is a main one.
QB is only an issue while we are playing the wrong one. Minshew was carrying this offence, that must be clear now.
well then jags are 4-8 with foles starting.
