No matter how the rest of this season plays out, you simply can't move on from him. It doesn't matter if Foles is healthy or not. Minshew as a 6th round rookie QB is making plays Foles could never dream of, or a lot QBs for that matter. It's Minshew's team going forward. Be smart about this coaching staff/front office... I don't care how much money you're paying Foles, don't [BLEEP] this up by forcing him back into the line up.

It's a shame we only got a see 11 plays with Foles as the QB, but unless Minshew gets injured, hopefully we don't see Foles take another snap for this team.

Give me the 23 year old rookie with "it", over the 30 year old often injured Vet, who has already hit his peak and that peak being average at best anyways.

This is a no brainer decision going forward. DON'T SCREW THIS UP STAFF/FO!!!!

Reading through Foles history you see a very talented guy that has been hot and cold, and plagued by injuries. The injury he suffered with the Jags in week one is the same he suffered with the eagles. Seems most of his career he has showed greatness, then gotten hurt, and came back cold. The his replacement gets hurt and he comes in hot. Based on prior history, I don’t think he would come back and be a good QB this year. He has already proven in his very short history here to be injury prone. 

Foles has had chance after chance to be a franchise QB. He just can never stay healthy long enough. He was an upgrade from Bortles and a good stop gap for us. He would be a GREAT back up fo Minshew, but no way is the future. He’s 30. If he did right his ship as a franchise QB he has what 7-10 years. Minshew is 23. Minshew could offer 14-17 years of elite talent. 

I don’t fault Minshew for our loses. I fault our defense. Minshew at least keeps us in the game and has made the Jaguars exciting to watch again.
