The Eagles have two guys that can ride along to win some games, but neither has proven to be a franchise QB. That they were willing to just let Foles walk shows that he's definitely not one, and if he's not one then he's really no better than Bortles. Jaguars had 10 wins with Bortles in 2017, if they get that many with Foles this season I'll be surprised, but if they don't win a superbowl then really all they're doing is spinning their wheels and appeasing the bib brigade by doubling down on overpaying mediocre QBs.

If any QB they pass on this year turns out to be a franchise QB the howls will be deafening, as suddenly everyone knew what a bad idea it was to do.

You’re sleeping on Wentz big time.

Dude was the MVP in 2017 before injury. In 2018, he had a 70% completion percentage and 21 TDS in 11 games. If the Eagles didn’t have one of the top young QBs, Foles would still be there.

Do you think you're showing I'm wrong? My whole point was that the eagles would rather have a guy that's been badly injured repeatedly and didn't win Superbowl MVP, and whom they could probably trade to some team for a pick than having Foles.

If the Jaguars think they can lean on Foles like they couldn't on Bortles they're in for a long season, and if they don't think they can do that then what the heck are they even bothering with screwing up the cap so much for? They could have used that money to pay ngakoue and Ramsey and keep the cap healthy and looked for real QB talent in the draft. Instead they're replaying all the bad aspects of the late 90's and early aughts.
