I guess Foles may be a tad overrated if you were to consider him a complete QB. He's not really because he doesn't have those moves with his feet like you see with a guy like Minshew. But what he does have is by no means overrated, and that's his arm. Foles has an incredibly accurate deep pass that Minshew can't even think of matching. Foles also has that SB experience you can only obtain by getting there.

We're paying Foles one heck of a lot of money to not play should he not take over. I can go either way on the question, but I'm leaning toward putting Foles back in as soon as possible so he can get back in his groove knowing that if he falters at all we can easily bench him for the Stache.

Foles has proven he is, at least, decent.  He has also proven that when coming off the bench with a star studded team, almost twice and playing well on both sides, he can take them the distance  Minshew in year 1 is at least decent and has proven he can play and has a high ceiling with a team that isnt as star studded and has struggled on D.  I would take the younger QB, with whom the defense has not played lights out every game, that has still found a way to keep us in games.  Foles has never shown that ability; and i don't have faith, that he is going to become a completely different QB, to keep this ship upright in an entirely different environment.  I can at least say, i admire alot of you posters blind faith in Foles.  It reminds me of religion since you have no recent events/examples to prove your theories.
