That’s in a Andy Reid style offense that makes every QB look good (I.E Vick,Alex Smith,feeley, detmer, Kolb) with ertz, Jeffrey, agholer and other weapons and good o line. The only way to keep this defense together is with a qb on a rookie contract. Foles is not the answer.

He has started eight games in the past two years. Having 5 good games out of 8 isn't bad.  Extrapolating that over 16 games, that's ten good games a year at QB.  What Jaguars fan wouldn't take that?  Besides he has playoff and Super Bowl experience.  If our defense is anything like it's been the past two seasons, I would like our chances in most games.

Secondly, I am unsure if the Peterson and Reich offense was an Andy Reid WCO.

But even assuming it is, Foles' best statistical season was in Chip Kelly's offense, not a Reid WCO derivative scheme.

But even ignoring that, Defilippo coached Foles' in that scheme.  He will know what Foles' strengths and weaknesses are, what types of things Foles' likes to do, etc.  Besides ifi his collective experiences with Reid and elsewhere helped him be a better QB, I don't see the harm.  To me those are not deterrents to a Foles' acquisition.

That said, I might think him to be leery of going somewhere he doesn't think he could succeed.  If he sees a healthy Jaguars offense as too deficient, he may not be willing to sign here.
