Now you're just making up your own definition of faith.  
Faith is the firm belief in something for which one has no proof. 

People who speculated Foles might be capable of leading the team to 8-10 wins did not exhibit blind faith.

They looked at what Foles has been able to do recently in the NFL and hypothesized what he'd do here in an offense tailor made for him by his former QB coach. 
Extrapolating an athlete's recent success to predict its continuance is something members of this board do countless times daily here.  That isn't "faith." 
 It's making an educated guess and sharing an opinion.  It's hypothesizing. And this message board is chock full of it. 

You're trying to needlessly insult others opinions that differ from your own and it's just making your stance weaker. 

This would be like me saying  "you had blind faith that Foles would get hurt." 
You simply hypothesized he would get hurt based on him being hurt before. 

Others hypothesized he could be an efficient QB because he's been an efficient QB before.

My apologies.  I will concede to hypothesis since that is the correct way to put it.  I would've agreed to that statement if you would've said i had believed that he would've gotten hurt due to previous history but it is what it is.  I do not mean to insult others opinions, im just stating that some believed that he would lead the Jaguars roster, the same way he lead the Eagles roster, when they are not the same.  I figured that was wrong and still have no proof either way since he got hurt, which i also assumed would happen.

Are you suggesting the Jaguars have no stars on their roster?

We have a few.  We are not the Eagles during their SB run on offense and defense can be debated.  Again, two different situations but to each their own.

EDIT. i base my opinion on my history of watching the NFL and football period. Players play differently on different teams in different situations. Rarely do players keep their same level of play from one team to the next unless they are in their prime and that too is a coin flip. All positions and all types of players. Main reason i didn't have this "hypothesis" like most that Foles would be great in Jax at any point in time. Calais has improved since coming here as well as Lambo. Foles too, could be different and break that norm but i highly doubt that. Things can happen to change that but it doesnt happen often which is why the term eating crow is so common. Maybe I'm just thinking too irrationally and none of that is true at all.
