Look Foles is fine as a QB. He's in the low end to average starter tier of QBs, and is one of the most high variance QBs in the NFL history, good and bad. We don't need to pretend he's anything more than that nor do we have to pretend we are likely to get the version of Nick Foles that was in 2013 and 5 games in 2017+2018

His contract aligns with your evaluation of NFL starting QBs.  I think the team will be fine.  I also think that having his QB coach in Philly designing the offense, it will benefit him greatly.  We are more likely to get that 2017/2018 version of Foles than we are to get the guy who played for Jeff Fisher.  

He's the 11th highest paid QB in the league with this new deal.  I don't have a problem with that as long as I don't see a ton of batted balls at the line, interceptions off receivers feet, fumbles, or a ton of pick 6's.  We paid over $16M for that last year.  I think Foles will prove to be a significant upgrade over what we had on the field ast year, and with this defense, that's all we want.  It makes their lives easier to have a QB who isn't rattling off 3 and outs like he's Oprah Winfrey giving away cars.
