I never heard an Eagle fan say it in person.
And I'm not sure it was ever much more than hope to keep around a really good insurance policy in Foles. Wentz has had some mechanical things and injury issues that give some pundits and fans pause, so it isn't out the realm to think some people prefer the guy who won the SB over the kid who has had a couple really good regular season runs.

Fans gonna fan

Foles is decent and did what was needed when called upon.  I only have pause due to his overall body of work.  I've seen wayyyyy to many QBs(even rookies) come in and look good for a few games, regular or postseason.  I wish he would've played a full season with the Eagles to give a stat line to go off of.  He is here now, so with all of the question marks around the cap and will the offense look more professional, hopefully he can come in and shed all doubt about his durability and consistency.  

That's why i can't accept anything less than playoffs.  We've invested too much into trying to right this offense to stay stagnant and not improve to a consistent playoff contender.

Yeah the big knock is that he's never done it for a full year and early in his career he was having trouble turning that corner. He'll never be a great player but he's not getting paid like one and he doesn't really need to be a top-5 guy for the Jags.  The key is that based on what we know he should be able to play at a reasonable level *consistently* and that's all the Jags really need with the defense they have.  My concerns are A) can the OL stay healthy and protect him, B) can the running game become a consistent threat and C) can we get some production out of the tight end position. (I know, those are everybody else's concern too.) If that happens though, you won't have to worry about them being in the playoffs, they'll be there and probably as the AFC South Champions.
