• Not healed enough to be confident under fire or have the same throwing motion/velocity
  
• O-Line not buying him (or any QB) enough time frequently
  
• Flip not dialing up enough quick hit stuff to get the ball out quickly
  

I have no clue if he'll bounce back or if this is his new normal, but it's woefully not good enough.

I think the main reason is the offensive line sucks.  He's not a mobile QB, so he needs protection to do what he does well.  They gave him a Pop Warner offensive line, and it cost him half the season on the IR to repair the injury.  I think he was smart enough to recognize that when he came back from the injury that he wasn't going to see any changes in protection, and the Flip basically went pass heavy on the play calling which was completely unfair to Foles.

I don't think we're done with him.  They really need to address that line situation for whoever is calling plays.  But, Minshew has enough escapability to extend plays when the line inevitably fails, so it makes sense he's starting the rest of the seaon...unless they get him injured.
