Foles isn't going to save this team, but I don't think anyone here honestly was expecting that

But is he an improvement over Bortles? Absolutely. Blake had to play a perfect game week in and week out in order for the offense to be competent enough to support a great defense. That is not how you win games these days.

I've not been under any illusion that Jacksonville's gonna win 10+ games this next season anyway. They most likely won't. But staying their hand with bortles or just drafting a rookie QB and hoping for a change isn't going to cut it either. It's going to take time to undo the mess that the offense has become. This team is gonna have a new identity under the new OC, and having a veteran QB there to handle the reigns initially is not a bad thing.

If a rookie QB is drafted (And I'm sure we ALL hope that will be the case) There is absolutely no reason to throw them to the wolves; we've already seen how well that whole concept works in regards to both Gabbert and Bortles. Having a guy like Foles as a mentor is a benefit; it isn't like learning from Brady's knee, but that's not to say Foles can't have a positive impact on the position
