There wasn't going to be a even half way decent HC/GM candidates who were going to come here and be handcuffed to a bad $88m career back up QB. Wasn't going to happen.

Build around Minshew next year. If it's another losing season, everybody gets fired and you can use the out in Foles contract to finally dump him for little cap hit. We're flat out stuck with him and his awful contract for next season.

It's there. That's fair. I think after Coughlin's release that some of us felt that it would make sense that the rest would follow.

Foles contract makes it a difficult sale. But with the pair of first round selections over the next two years there was hope to gain attraction.

After Dallas, Washington and New York all had their openings come up it was pretty clear they would have a better run at any available candidates.

My primary concern is Caldwell and Marrone having access to a pair of first round picks. I hope they're used wisely.

Sure. They were lucky to land Allen back in April. They were even more lucky to land Minshew. I am hoping that's a sign of them turning the corner for the better.

I'll remain optimistic. Until they get off to a winless start in September.

If there's no changes made at all to the coaching staff (especially Defense, sorry Wash it's past time to go) then I can understand getting upset. Some changes absolutely need to be made.

All we can do is hope they make the right picks this draft and go from there.

A new GM/staff would have to be 100% on board with going with Minshew and Foles, because if they came in and only wanted their guy/traded up in this draft to get their QB, that'll highly likely just open up a whole new book of problems.

The best thing to do is let Minshew get another full season to show if he can be the guy next year. It'll help give everybody a better look at him, as well as the next new FO/coaching staff if it's another lost season. Which will make the decision to go after a new QB in 2021 much easier.
