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 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.

This.

Minshew cannot develop from the sidelines. He has broken all kinds of records and it’s possible he could be the franchise qb we have been looking for. Foles was a means to an end...that end was finding a franchise QB. Foles had his chance to be a franchise QB and it didn’t work out. 

Give the kid a shot. You’re gonna have to give a kid a shot eventually anyway!

Minshew can learn a lot from the sidelines watching an experienced veteran actually.
He can then sit with Foles and discuss what he saw and why he did what he did while the D is on the field.

Usually... there's nothing like live action but to act like Minshew is already better than Foles at seeing the field and decision making is silly.

Either way... the people in charge are gonna make the decision regardless of what we all think. Hopefully they make the right one.
Remember... Doug and co need to win now (That could be starting Foles, if Minshew is just managing games), not plan for the future (developing Minshew)

Steve Young?
@did you see Tannehill's numbers last week@
Nick Foles.

Alex Smith, though to be fair, his benching was due to injury and a QB that had his flash in a pan moment.
Though I'd argue he played better than ever in KC and was off to a really good start as Washington's guy
