No, I am just a realist and knew once teams got tape on him he would be a different QB. I am not dogging the guy and saying he won't be good one day but our starting QB will be Foles when he is healthy enough to be.

Perhaps Foles does take the reigns (if Minshew wins the next two it'll be a tough decision post bye week for coaches though)... and I was being facetious about Houston, just saying I don't care where he goes

IMO, even if Minshew looks like Tom Brady in his prime the next 2 games, Foles still gets the nod when he comes back. It's what you paid him for.

If the Jaguars were in the business of yanking people from positions they were paid huge sums of money to do, Myles Jack would be selling oranges under an overpass.

They got out coached and out played overall by two very, very good and well rounded football teams from the NFC. Carolina and New Orleans could very well be competing in the NFC Championship game for a Superbowl appearance when it's all said and done. The fact that they only lost by one score is impressive. I know a lot of us don't believe in moral victories but realistically I didn't expect this team to win these last two games. 

I am not going to panic until they start struggling against teams like the Jets and Bengals. If they [BLEEP] the bed over the next two weeks and Minshew is unable to recapture that magic we saw at home against the tacks and on the road in Denver it'll be time to think about getting Foles back in the line up as soon as he's healed up. 

But if he gets them up to 4 - 4 and they go up 5 - 4 by beating the tinhorns over in London it'll set the stage for a good divisional game against the clots after they bye week. I sound like a broken record on here. But this team is the 1996 team IMHO. Losing close games. Winning close games. Small margins of error that can be cleaned up by fixing those miscues on offense and defense and cutting back on those penalties. 

They're just scratching the surface. We'll see.

The reality of the situation is that we lost 2 games in a row to backup quarterbacks, one being a rookie, and the other may as well being a rookie. Is this Minshews fault? Not completely, but yesterday mostly was. I like how you opened your post with "out coached". That happens frequently around these parts and needs to be addressed. I don't think I have ever seen all 3 units play well at the same time under Doug Marrone.
