Im assuming Flips offense/scheme/playbook is the same as it was in philly in 2017 and this would be Foles 3rd year in that offense, given the quote i think it is a clear endorsement of Foles.

This team doesnt need a worldbeater at qb, just a guy the opposing defense has to respect enough to not load the box against fournette. If he can convert 3rd down and limit turnovers this team is a SB contender. Our window is short lets get the QB who is proven, knows the offense and will be ready to win day 1.

I hate it when people say this.

Good teams don't have a 'window'.  And that all starts with a franchise quarterback.  

Foles is not a franchise quarterback.

Actually, this is not really true in the current salary cap era. Even with a "franchise quarterback", the real window is when they are on a rookie deal and before most people accept they are a franchise quarterback. There are only a handful of QB's who won a Super Bowl after they got a contract that got them within the Top 5 paid QB's in the league. They are normally on some sort of discount. Every team has a window.
