The question will be what he brings here though, despite much worse skill positions, offensive line play and presumably coaching. My take on it is that he will be a low end /average QB who can possibly swing some late games like Blake never could. I don't think there's any chance he's a "star" here or that he takes us to another level.

Over the entirety of his career, I believe you could make the case that he's low-level average but some QBs (especially QBs that don't many starts) can take longer to develop than others. If you look at his last two seasons, he's played at a better than average level. You could make the argument that he played as well or better than Wentz last year during the regular season. He's also shown the ability to play his best in important games which is a sign of a good QB. The real question is: can he play at a high level consistently? That's what the Jags are looking for.

Foles in 2018: 7 games played, 10 Tds, 8 picks passer rating of 83. So no he wasn't at a better than average level in 2018 at least. 

And there's zero argument that Wentz was considerably better than him in the regular season over the last two years. For example Wentzs passer rating in the regular season these last two years is 101, Foles is......87.
