But he is showing rookie tendencies: happy feet, missing wide open receivers, holding the ball too long, miscommunications. He is not winning us games right now. Not losing them, but not winning them. I would let Foles play when he comes back, and let Minshew sit. If Foles plays poorly for a few games, put Minshew back in.

I still think Minshew can be the franchise QB though, and there should be no problem in letting him sit behind Foles for a few years, especially if Foles plays well.

If they go back to Foles after the Bye week and bench Minshew, they simply can't go back to Minshew for the rest of this season, unless Foles gets injured again.

You have to give Foles the rest of the season to either hang himself or not, so we can move on from him sooner, rather than later.

I still don't think they should move on from Minshew regardless though, even if Foles is healthy. Foles is what he is and that's average at best. What don't know what Minshew is, or what he could become. I'd rather not wait another 2 years from now to try and find out either.


Continue to play him. Let him take his lumps and learn. We need to know if he's going to be the guy going forward, for the long term. Foles was nothing more than a stop gap to begin with.
