I was highly in favor of signing Foles even before the end of last season.  I’ve made many posts on here advocating his signing.   The half of a quarter he played he looked good.  But Minshew is young and looks like he can be a franchise QB.  Foles is a guy you’ll only get a few years out of.  

Foles is proven.  I think some on here just feel more comfortable with a guy we know can make all the throws even in the biggest of games.  Minshew has done everything he can to win the job.  Only problem is we aren’t confident he can and will do that week in and week out.  So I see the argument for Foles.  Like others have said, and it isn’t a secret, what Minshew does until Foles’ recovery will determine what happens and who starts.  

Personally, I’m rooting for Minshew.  It’s nice having a competent QB but I won’t lie, the charisma, flair, “legend-ness” of Minshew and it’s national recognition is not just good for us fans but for the organization as well.  It’s about time we had “that” player everyone falls in love with.  Or the guy fans of other teams root for.  How many times have you watched a game (not jags) rooting for a team to win because you like Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, etc..   it’s just nice having that guy on the team.  So for me a few selfish reasons, I suppose.  But if he keeps handling business, keep the kid in.  Let him learn more and be possibly one of the next “greats”.
