I figured we were screwed either way for the next couple of years, but at least Foles has shown the game isn't too big for him.  Now he needs to show that his game can translate from one team to another and that he can provide consistent play over the course of a full season.

I remain hopeful, but not particularly excited.

When you pigeon hole yourself into the "win now" mentality, you really limit your draft options.

If the Jags pass on Haskins and he turns out to be Ben Roethlisberger or a QB of that quality, the Jags will be kicking themselves just like they have been for a while. Passed on Mahomes, Watson, Haskins.....
