It's about a rookie QB who over the past two weeks has shown a worrisome trend of getting happy feet in the pocket, throwing off balance unnecessarily, and not making his reads with the same patience and poise he did early in the season.  

Giving that young man a chance to refocus and develop into a possible franchise QB  -- as well as getting a chance to see if we got what we paid for when we signed Foles and hired Flip to design an offense for Foles is also an important opportunity. 

If Minshew enters the bye week looking like he did in weeks 3 and 4, then this decision gets tougher. We'll see how that pans out. On the current track , I think getting Foles a chance to show why he got paid is a fine path. 
We have two good quarterbacks, people.  Rejoice and be glad.

Happy feat like Peyton Manning you mean?

Also have you been watching our oline? Maybe that's a part to the happy feet/not progressing reads?

If we have two good QBs why drop one for the other who likely is rusty and no better anyway?

Happy feet, like he's no longer showing poise in the pocket but itchy to escape it too early.
And yes, of COURSE it correlates to the line at times. It also correlates to Minshew holding the ball 4+ seconds too often making their jobs extremely difficult. 

I get you like one better than the other.  I like Minshew's upside better, but I want to see what Foles can do in this offense if Minshew stays on his current track.  I like taking time to develop players when the luxury is available opposed to creating bad habits by forcing rookies into the fire.
