If you look at his last two seasons, he's played at a better than average level. You could make the argument that he played as well or better than Wentz last year during the regular season. He's also shown the ability to play his best in important games which is a sign of a good QB. The real question is: can he play at a high level consistently? That's what the Jags are looking for.

Foles in 2018: 7 games played, 10 Tds, 8 picks passer rating of 83. So no he wasn't at a better than average level in 2018 at least. 

And there's zero argument that Wentz was considerably better than him in the regular season over the last two years. For example Wentzs passer rating in the regular season these last two years is 101, Foles is......87.

Foles regular season passer rating in 2018 was 96. You can cherry pick any stats you'd like but you'd still be wrong about that too.  Anyway, the QBR is a more complete and meaningful stat than the passer rating which can be misleading.  Here's a closer comparison between the two in 2018. 

Foles 72.3% CP, 282.6 ypg, 69.5 QBR, 96.0 QR, 3.6 TD% , 2.1 INT%
Wentz 69.6% CP, 279.5 ypg, 64.9 QBR, 102.2 QR, 5.2 TD%, 1.7 INT%

As you can see, it's clear an argument can be made that Foles was the better player. But Wentz is a pretty good QB and it's why Philly evidently chose to keep him. They may have made a mistake (a lot of Philly fans think so). We'll see.
