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.
Then why did they parade him around like he was riding a white horse?

Foles has a ton of pressure and if it doesn't result in a playoff appearance and most likely a playoff win, it's a failure.

Did you expect them to give a quarterback $50M guaranteed and not sell him to the fanbase? 

That's just par for the course marketing for any team. 

I can't disagree with you on the playoff expectation and potential failure.  It's reasonable given the team's 2017 run and the contract given to Foles.
