*He's built film of him doing it well and doing it poorly.  He can really sort through that with Milanovich/DeFilippo now. 

*He's about to watch Foles go do it a bit differently and ostensibly quicker than he did. 

I see that as a very good learning opportunity.  
I think you absolutely need to learn it off the field FIRST, and he'll now have had opportunity to do learn it both on and off then field in his rookie year. 
Win/Win. 

What I fear leaving him out there is that he doesn't get the right chance to see why he needs to pull the trigger sooner sometimes - opposed to making Minshew magic happen on the run so often.  Never want to lose that, but it can't be a pillar of the offense's ability to move the chains.

I agree with the poster that said it's all on coaching.  Mahomes wouldnt be Mahomes with this staff, i can tell you that.  If this system is tailored to Foles and we are right here on the verge of make or break, let's see some Foles magic and see him teach the rook.  Either he shows GM how its done or we put GM back in there and make some changes to fit his style of play and how he runs the offense.  I have faith that GM will be alot better with a system tailored to him as oppose to a non mobile QB.  Coaching should fix this but that implies that we have the staff to help him.  Both are big question marks and we have a week to woosah and stock up the popcorn.
