No team is gonna admit they were wrong that fast. Look how long this team gave Bortles to prove himself. They even extended him. If this team signs Foles, he's the starter for at least 3 years, no matter how bad he does.

I don't believe he will be signing a 5 year deal. I think it will more likely be for 3 years guaranteed money. Naturally, it would set the team back significantly if he flames out the first year, but I disagree with your belief that they wouldn't take a q.b. in the first round next year. What if Fromm or Tua continue to develop next season and look like franchise NFL quarterbacks? I don't see the Jags passing on them, even though it's always difficult to admit making a mistake. If he does poorly, there's no way Caldwell and Marone keep their jobs and the new regime will want to draft their own quarterback. For both of our sakes, I hope Foles succeeds and takes the Jaguars back to the playoffs next season.
