You trade Foles in the off season and eat his dead cap for 1 year, just like we just did for Bortles.

What you don't do is eat Foles money for 3-4 years while he rides the bench, because we're only paying Minshew peanuts for the next 3-4 years.

You dump Foles as soon as you can and move on, again, just like they did with Bortles. He's dead weight as this point. Good for the moment of this season, but he's just going to be a problem as time goes on.

I don't see him as dead weight.  He's a backup that you can win with  - and you can easily afford to keep for one more season or until a 2020 trade offer comes along worth taking.

Not dead weight at all so I agree.  Foles has proven he can come off the bench and win a superbowl.  Injuries are a fact of life in the NFL.  You don't have to dump Foles to promote Minshew at all.  Honestly Minshew is impressive and you can tell he is a little slow with his reads but at least he is making them.

He is a building blocks guy and hard work will go along way to tighten up his footwork and improve his play.  He seems like a guy that will do the work.  We are in a win-win situation no matter what happens the rest of this season.
