Gave up a fourth round comp pick. How long till he replaces Trubisky as the starter? Good move by them in my opinion and good for the jags if they're going to hand the reins over to the stash.

Foles is an odd duck. He is, IMHO, the best backup QB in the NFL. We all know about his playoff runs in 2017 and 2018, but even in 2013, he replaced Vick in Philly and went 8-2 as a starter while dropping a 27-2 TD-Int ratio and a 119.2 passer rating. However, every season he is handed the keys from the get-go, he's been an underwhelming disappointment. I wouldn't want him as a starter, but I'd love him as a backup.

He's only good in Philly. Not even only good with a particular coach. He's only good in Philly.
