It looks pretty certain that Foles is gonna be a Jag next year. It sounds like the contract will be reasonable, which for me makes it a sensible move, considering the absolute uncertainty about which QBs would be available to us in the draft.

Let's imagine for a moment that Haskins is there at 7 when we pick. Do you take him or not?

Arguments for:
1. Vital position. It is by far the most important position, having a respected veteran and a top prospect at the position greatly improved the odds of your team being good in BOTH the short and the long term.
2. Opportunity. Foles comes with no guarantees, but at the very least makes a very appealing bridge QB. The problem is that he may be good enough to get us over 500 but not good enough to make us elite, which would leave us without the possibility of picking in the top 10 again any time soon. Maybe we should take this opportunity to have a crack at a good rookie.
3. Trade value in the future. Imagine a year down the line, if Foles has played well but we feel Haskins would give us more we can trade him for decent value. If Foles hasn't played well then at least we are insured with Haskins ready to take over.
4. Learning the ropes. It gives us a great opportunity for a rookie to really sit for at least a year and learn the ropes before starting, increasing their chance of success, with a long term vision to build around.

Arguments against:
1. Lack of support. The main argument against it is that using our small amount of FA money and a top 10 pick on the same position severely handicaps our ability to surround our new QB with the top-class weapons he will need to succeed.
2. Creates future problems. First of all it would undermine Foles' authority on the team. He would know it is someone else's job long term. It could affect his confidence and team dynamic 
3. QB of the future. Foles is only 30, if we believe that he can be a franchise QB then you are looking at having a QB for at least the next 5 years and probably even longer the way QBs are these days. Why bother drafting a new one?

Honestly I think it's one of the hardest decisions to make. If it was me I would take Haskins, purely down to reason number 1 - anything that increases your chances of having good QB play short term and long term should be done in my book. You gotta try.

What would you do and why?
