All of that said, the Jags cannot afford to put this mess on the field week after week.  Something's got to change.  I think Wash has to go now and maybe Doug, too.  I like Doug, but lack of discipline and effort just can't stay this way.  If he's not willing to chew butt and demand better from his coaches and players, he's got to go.

Saw a stat today Foles for a career has the most failed completions (8 yards on when you need 10, etc).  I’m more of a YPA and TD to Interception ratio believer, as QBR has its own magical formula that doesn’t make any sense.

Minshew is averaging nearly a yard more per attempt and has a better ratio even with the desperation time picks in London.  This is with Minshews games being competitive and not garbage time. It’s not arguable, Minshew has played better than Foles and has an upward arrow in contrast to Foles living off a playoff run from two years ago which was likely his peak.

Oh and Foles will have to dang near have to win out to match GM’s win total.  We’ll be lucky to win another one.  So Minshew has that as well.
