Foles would have to be an idiot to do anything other than show up, grin and bear the knowledge that he is the mostly highly-paid backup QB ever and there's nothing the Jaguars can do about it. Then collect his millions, enjoy taking a season off, more or less, to heal up and be ready to go start somewhere else when the Jaguars cut him next March.

I agree. Someone brought this up in the news recently with the "what if" Foles doesn't want to be the back-up. Citing he wanted to be a starter elsewhere, etc. 

I don't buy that. After his stint in Kansas City he was ready to hang it up and retire. He caught his second wind in Philadelphia and flipped it to a nice contract. If he was smart, and same goes for his agent, just ride this [BLEEP] show out in 2020. When he's released in 2021 he can easily point and blame the piss poor ownership and management of this front office as to why things didn't work out. 

Easy to do. Just show up. Shut up. And do your job as a back-up. He is who we all thought he was. He knows it. We all know it. He got a lucky pay day. Good for him.
