The fact that the Eagles didn't care about losing him and wanted to keep Wentz instead tells you everything you need to know. If he was actually a franchise QB they'd have traded Wentz and kept Foles.

Or it tells you Wentz is better than Foles. So are a handful of other QBs.

Doesnt mean the Jags can't succeed with Foles.

The Jags could succeed with Bortles, the eagles won a Superbowl with Foles starting. None of that changes the truth I just laid on you. If Foles were actually good they'd have done with Wentz what the Patriots did with Garoppolo, gotten what they could, because you don't let actual franchise QBs out the door for nothing, and in that scenario they get something for an often injured QB and still keep their franchise guy. The fact that the Jaguars were bidding against themselves for him also says bad things.

The Jaguars just doubled down on the same bad move they made signing Bortles long term. Of course the team itself is good, so if they stay healthy they can win some games, but that doesn't make the move at all good, just like drafting Fournette was moronic, regardless of the team's success that season.
