I do think they overpaid for what Foles is on paper.  And I may be understating their expectations to make a point about the defense being leaned upon more so than the QB. 

But I do believe the Jags brass isn't expecting Foles to ride in on a white horse and turn the team into an offensive powerhouse. I think they expect him to do "enough."  

Hopefully we see enough wins that the price and cap ramifications seem justified in the end. 
Obviously - I'm more optimistic than you and several others on that working out favorably for the Jags.

Something needs to happen this year (playoffs) to justify this signing, in my opinion.  I just don't see it happening.  There are too many holes on offense.  I would rather have had a low-end FA at QB and draft someone...looking towards next year.  I don't have much of a choice but to wait and see.  I hope I'm wrong.
