He's a serviceable QB with an 80 million dollar contract. If we could have paid him, say 8 million per year as a backup, he'd be a bargain.

Go ahead and rip me.

No arguments here. He's really not bad, he's definitely better than Blake. Is he really worth 80 million? No but then that's the trap of free agency. In retrospect, no one could have guessed Minshew was going to show like he has (in fact, I'm sure he wasn't drafted with the idea he could eventually be the starter, they were probably looking at him as a viable option to grow into the backup spot).  Foles is really rusty, we have to remember he's played two games while the rest of the team (and opponents) are in mid-season form. He's going to miss some targets, but will improve as he gets more game time. People are being way to hard on him, probably because they like Minshew and/or expected Foles to play like a top-5 QB.
