Pretty nice eh?
Let both these guys take us to strong finish this season and probably next.
Minshew will only get better the more he plays ....we've all seen his track record.
This is going to be fun!

I've been saying this for weeks to no avail with the oddly anti-Foles challengers of reason. 

In 2020 - as things stand - the Jacksonville Jaguars will be squarely in the middle of the pack in QB positional spending in the NFL. Twelve teams will spend more than us at QB, and that number should rise with new contracts coming between now and then. 

We can easily afford to have Nick Foles continue to be part of the Minshew grooming process regardless of who ends up starting. This is good for our team.  Why people want to jettison Foles is a complete [BLEEP] mystery to me. Makes zero sense. 

The only way I see him gone prior to November 2020 is if a QB needy team offers the farm NEXT year.  Which is very possible. Keeping him until then allows you to have the luxury of a backup you can win with and allows you to maximize the potential trade capital you'd get in return for him.

I see the point you're making.  You can't bet on signing a high priced FA and hoping that turns the team into a contender.  I was hoping for a good TE like hooper next year and maybe a LB or two if available.  I also wouldn't mind a G unless they have some good lineman coming out of the draft.  We need a DT and a CB but hopefully we can draft 2 or all of those positions with quality rookies if FA isn't any help.  The cap was an issue when thinking about resigning Ramsey and Yann.  With only a few players left that are considered high priced drafted talent, if we miss on a solid player in FA at those positions oh well.  I see Lee and Dareus being released and we'll see.  We have the picks and the Shew to play with for the next season or two.  I'm curious to see how the rebuild, better yet, retooling goes and I WANT A TE.  Hopefully Oliver can be the guy; but i've been screaming for OL/TE help for years and Taylor looks good, so its up to Oliver to shut me up.
