I hope I'm wrong as the season progresses but I feel like a ton of people are hyped up on that new car smell when realistically Bortles and Foles are not that different. I know that isn't the popular opinion but you have to consider the offensive cast we have in place here versus what Phili had. Take those two at face value and compare the productivity of the two QBs and it is shocking how similar they are. I see where some say Foles can read a D...nah. Always been one of his weaknesses which is why he is usually only successful out of play action. Sound familiar? I also keep reading where Foles is really efficient at deep balls...again, nah. Bortles has more attempts and his supporting cast brings yards per and efficiency waaay down! I guess what I am getting at is that Foles is being viewed as the savior but he is mediocre even with a strong supporting cast of which he won't have here. On the flip side, we did make it far with Bortles so perhaps just one extra bit of consistency is what the front office is hoping for. This would have been a good job for our analytics department to put together. Man, I hope my gut is wrong but this could be another added to the list of FA floaters. I'm sure this topic will go back and forth until we get to see how things play out on the field.
