The moderators of this board are doing a fine job and doing what is asked of them.  Since you can't seem to get it through your thick skull I'll try to lay it out for you in simple terms.  Topics in the Home Team forum are about TEAM NEWS.  As it relates to this thread, should the team OFFICIALLY sign Nick Foles to a contract, then talk about him will go to the Home Team sub-forum.  For now this topic will reside here.  Don't like it?  You have the option to not grace us with your presence.

ON TOPIC:  I believe that this option is probably the best thing that the team can do at the moment.  I know that many posters think that an unproven rookie is the second coming of Joe Montana or Brette Farve, but it just ain't happening.  I would rather have some veteran QB under center over a rookie.  While Nick Foles isn't my first choice, it still makes sense.

I predict that the signing will probably happen and a lot of people are going to be unhappy with the Jaguars' first choice in the draft.  I just don't see a "franchise" QB in this draft class.  I expect that the team will probably draft a QB but will also sign a veteran backup.  My first choice for a "veteran backup" would be someone like Joe Flacco.

Anyone thinking that a rookie QB out of this draft class is going to be "the answer" or a "franchise QB" is out of their mind.
