I've always like Foles. I'd say "decent" or "above average," but totally agree he's not elite. That said, he's easily and by far the best available, and at $20+ mil, he's the only guy out there actually worth it.

Ideally, we'd end up with...

1. Foles
2. Bortles
3. Lock

I'm thinking Lock even over Haskins because if we have both Foles and Bortles, we shouldn't need the rookie this season. If you have time to develop Lock's footwork so he can actually scramble, buy time, and use proper leg mechanics when throwing, Lock is going to be darn good. As good as Haskins is, I think his long-distance accuracy is always going limit him giving him a lower ceiling down the road even though I prefer Haskins as a guy this season if he had to play. 

Jags cannot afford both Foles and Bortles on the roster this year. $21 million if on roster. $16 million if cut pre June 1st. $10-11 if post June 1st cut.

Only way they can even really afford Foles is by cutting Bortles and designating him as a post June 1st cut.

If the Jags go the Foles route, the back up will be a rookie or a retread along the lines of Kessler last year. Yes, that is playing with fire hoping Foles stays healthy, but Jags don't have alternatives.
