Foles also performed similarly in different seasons for different coaching staffs, so scheme is starting to sound like a red herring.

Yes. 

Scheme-centric. 

The offense he played in (and flips playbook to a degree) have lots of designed quick hit short passes. 
It’s attributable to his skill set and to the scheme/play calling. 
Not sure how this isn’t obvious.

It's so obvious defenders are slowing up in their pursuit and batting passes away. I can't remember if Minshew had a handful of those or not this year. But it seems like over the last two weeks defenders know Foles isn't running anywhere and they switch from pass rusher to volleyball player here and there. 

Frustrating. Again, this is NOT a knock on Foles or an argument to be made for putting Minshew back out there. This is frustrating because DeFilippo should be doing things play calling wise to help Foles out with that. Haven't seen enough rolling out or play action over the last two - three games. 

Both QB's can make those work IMHO.
