Trade Foles for whatever you can get in the off season.

Why mess with what's working and winning? Minshew has given the team and the fans a morale boost we didn't know we needed. Along with that is his ability to get the job done and fight for every play. I've not seen a QB, or any player in this team, fight as hard as he did yesterday to keep the plays alive in a very long time. Then Fournette, Armstead, Westbrook and O'Shaunessy (sp) started doing the same. Minshew was leading by example, something that has been sorely lacking in the offense for quite some time. 

Both Westbrook and Fournette said he was doing a great job. For some reason that says a lot (to me anyway) about how they see GM15 emerging as a leader. We'll see how he holds up going forward as we're just through the first four games, but if we win out this season I'd say it's a no brainer.

He could have easily have been sacked 2 more times yesterday. His scramble ability and leg strength keeps him up. I just don’t see Foles being able to do what he does. I believe if Foles was in that game yesterday, it would have been a loss. 

Minshew is tough to stop. He’s deadly accurate and you don’t know what he’s going to do. He hit what, 9 different receivers yesterday? He makes more time so he can continue to read the field and throw a clean pass. 

From what I’ve seen of Foles. He’s smart, and throws a clean ball. But I don’t think he has the ability to buy more time in the pocket. If we had a good OL, I could see Foles blasting out. But we don’t.
