Same Scenario, Older Quarterback.   So what am i missing that Foles is suppose to be bringing to the table instead of drafting a new QB or fixing those same holes we already know about.

This is what I came away with as well.  If we need to fix all the things that hindered Bortles for Foles to be successful then what is the point of picking up Nick?

It was also nice to see a national writer point out the passion of this fan base.

Definitely, I love the fan recognition as well. 

I just dont get the outlook of those on the pro Foles side.  I debated what Blake didnt have before to be successful, and understand he has had his chances.  I'm weary a rookie will fix anything overnight but a new QB in a new system with no stars around him wont fair much better.  If we've given up on blake cool.  Just acquire some weapons because no QB would be successful with this Offense no matter who we throw under the bus.

What are you missing?

Seems you are missing the fact that Foles throws the football with more accuracy and better timing than Blake Bortles. Not just an “older quarterback.” A better quarterback. 

Adding a piece or two to the line, finding a real TE, and maybe one more competitor at WR were all obvious goals for the 2019 offseason. That was gong to happen regardless. 

Now those additions will be in place for a QB that gives the Jags a better chance to win games.

Dont give me the goals speech.  Those were goals for the 2018 season as well and were suppose to help the QB succeed.  Throw blake under the bus cool, but dont tell me a backup QB is more accurate like he's been playing full seasons in recent memory.  I need to see Foles shine without top quality linemen and better WR and an Superstar TE to help.  You're ignoring the obvious just to prove your point.  If Foles was on the Jags last year, that accuracy would probably have taken a huge hit, just sayin.
