I'm not comparing really. (You could insert most any starter QB in my sentence. Hell, he wasn't even playing at a level like Kyle Allen) No amount of play calling is fixing Minshew's rookie mistakes. Just time and development.
My point was, the kid isn't out here lighting up the stat sheet and being let down by the defense. He held the fort. Went 4-5. Fumbled at a clip like Bortles threw INTs.

Some people are clamoring for us to keep him in like we're taking a major step back with Foles.
It's kind of mind boggling really.

As someone stated earlier, I dont put the losses all on GM.  Foles isnt a step back and isnt a step forward either.  He is basically the guy that, as Queencity said, some fans hope can do what he did in Philly here in jax.  Thats whats mind boggling to me.  Two different teams and situations, yet some ppl believe that doesnt matter.  Unless the line actually blocks better in the passing game and Foles starts lighting it up with 3 seconds or less releases, the only change i see is more boo's from the fans.  That'll be ironic in itself, due to the fact that some want this change and others dont.  In the words of the new generation, i want them to keep this same energy if the wheels fall off.

I don't put it all on GM either. Don't get me wrong. I think he is our dude of the future. I just don't think he's quite ready yet.
I don't expect Foles to have a giant impact either to be honest, I just want to pump the brakes slightly on the Mania. Gardner Minshew played well for a rookie... but wasn't playing well enough to not try to go back to Foles, who was initially supposed to be the starter for 2 seasons.

I wouldn't be mad if they stuck with Minshew, but I totally understand why they made a change. Had Minshew went to London and lit the tinhorns terrible secondary up, the change wouldn't have been made (I don't care what Doug says)
And it wasn't totally on Minshew, but there have been spots where you can clearly see he is hesitant or reluctant or missing an open guy and the staff thinks the veteran won't miss those throws.

We shall see.

Also: our pass protection hasn't been as bad as some fans want to claim.
We're 14th in sacks allowed and at least 4-5 of those are on Minshew
