The Jags’ $88 million investment, Nick Foles, isn’t getting it done

Since returning from his collarbone injury, Nick Foles hasn’t in the slightest way performed like an investment of his caliber should. Last week, he threw in double coverage more than a veteran should and wasn’t overly impressive when throwing on the move. This week, he struggled to hit his receivers when it mattered and the result was the Jags looking lethargic on offense. As a result of the defense not offering much and the offense struggling as well, all we’ve seen is Foles end up in blowouts where he’s accumulating padded stats.

Foles’ struggles have led Jags fans to want to see the return of Gardner Minshew II — and rightfully so. He offers the team better movement skills in the pocket and simply had a knack for making plays in which energized his teammates. Foles, on the other hand, has been the exact opposite.

Marrone told the media he has no plans to bench Foles, and similar to the approach he’s taking with the staff, it appears he’s willing to go down with Foles  as his quarterback. Whether that is because the front office is forcing him to are not is unknown, but the fact of the matter is Foles has been absolutely flat and isn’t elevating the players around him.
