You're worried about hurting Minshews confidence?!

The dude has that in spades. He has been benched, cut, told he was nothing and then wasn't drafted until round 6. He has confidence for days and that's actually one of his best traits for a QB. He always believes there's a chance to win.

I think I've heard it all now for the reasons to start Foles: He gives them the best chance to win. They paid him to be the starter (ha). We don't want to hurt Gardners confidence. Gardner will learn more from watching Foles throw into double coverage on Sundays with weak throws.

Marrone is trying to save his job and play it safe which is ultimately why he will be fired. Carroll had the stones to start Wilson even though they gave Matt Flynn money to be the starter.

I understand your frustration but Carroll wasn't about to be fired.  Marrone has had too many years to get it right as of now and is going out the way he wants.  If he chooses to start Foles, blame Shad for not having the stones to fire anyone.  Shad is the one complaining about attendance and money but will not save the fanbase from the fire this staff has caused.  He just lets it burn and then publicly states, the team isnt making enough money from fan support.
