TBF the FO had to do something.

Most people here didn't want Murray and we didn't even had a chance to get him
It would have been hilarious to see everyone's reaction if we somehow would have managed to draft Daniel Jones (who imo showed a lot of promise but still went before our pick)
Haskins was awful (in an awful team though)

No one knew about Minshew and let's say it doesn't happen and we don't sign Foles? then what? pretty much no one (except maybe 2 guys in this MB) wanted another year with Bortles. Foles did have some good games in the playoffs and the SB. I think they clearly knew it was a big risk but one they had to make.

Not signing Foles last offseason would have meant there was no hope for this past season (which still ended up being garbage lol), at least we kinda had hope for a few months lol.... and thank god for Minshew.
