Their jobs are on the line (most likely) and starting the vet (even though starting the rookie makes sense for the long haul) gives them a better chance at keeping their jobs. If Foles and company lose the next two games, I would like to see Minshew finish out the season.

Jags fan conundrum.... Foles comes in, staff wins more games.... saves their jobs...
Back at it next year with Doug, Wash, and Flip (though I don't hate Flip really) when many people want a change. And as much as I'm a "don't change for the sake of changing" kind of guy. I'm tired of seeing BoB pencil whip our staff no matter who the OC/DC is. 

If Foles can't go 1-1 against clots and tacks, we're pretty much toast in playoff hunt and I think we should definitely get Minshew more reps.
However, I don't think they flip flop... Foles will finish season barring injury, imo.

And then tough off season decisions with his cap hit and everything.

I just want to enjoy the games, which for the most part I have. Yesterday was hard to watch and the first game I turned off before it was actually over. (after the 2 bad ref calls and the blown FG try followed by the tinhorns marching down, I was over it)

I think many (not all) fans figure "just roll with Minshew and let him earn his lumps"
But the staff knows experience helps win games, and Foles has that.

He also a knack for coming into the season late and winning (twice in Philly, once ending in a SB MVP)
They're hoping and praying for some of that to save their [BLEEP].
The coach staff doesn't think about the future, they think about the now... Especially a staff that could be on it's last legs.
