All in all, i would rather put my eggs in the rookie QB basket as i've stated before.   Foles did good with Philly and i like that.  There is no stat or film session that shows he will be successful with the Jags and our roster.  You HOPE he can do what he did with philly this late in his career with a new team that he hasnt done in years before that run.  Hope you're right but odds are you're not.

OK. 

Lots to sort out here, because you're kind of all over the map with this one. 

The context here is the regular season schedule and primetime games. 

Your suggestion that Foles may wilt under bright lights after he has won a super bowl is just really devoid of all logic. 
Your suggestion that folks "think he's the next big thing" is way off target as well as a majority of fans have expressed far more reasonable expectations from the player. 

Again - not wanting your team to have primetime games is nonsensical, and I can't imagine a single fan trying to make excuses about bright lights given this team's 2017 run and Foles playoff experience. Doesn't make a lick of sense. The players and fans want the bright lights.

The points you are attempting to make in red and blue have zero to do with this thread/ topic and are just you going on about your lack of confidence in Foles. You've already made that clear in a dozen other threads. 

The thing you're attempting to assert about me being right or wrong on Foles is also inaccurate. 

The only thing I've asserted about Foles is that he'll be an upgrade from Bortles and move the chains more efficiently through the air than we did last season. Don't put words in my mouth.

I see you dont understand what i meant by "the eagles run" comment.  If primetime games is what will keep the team in jax instead of just more fans coming to ALL home games then so be it.  I guess i don't understand the logic.  Can you just tell me what are the majority expectations of bringing Foles to the Jags.  Playoffs, Better Draft position, what is the positive that most are expecting.  Also, moving the chains is subjective since we didnt even try to pass most of the season.  I mean i hated the run first strategy when we didnt have the tools to make it successful after injuries.  We passed with cody and its said we will pass this year so of course we should move the chains more.  I think thats grade school common sense.  I just want to know the expectation, thats all.
