Nick Foles was paid a large sum of money to “save” the Jaguars from the quarterback doldrums of the past 10 years. Now, he is part of the franchise’s problem this season.
Foles was injured in his very first start for the Jaguars against the Kansas City Chiefs. A city that waited to see the former Super Bowl MVP lead this team back to the playoffs after a one-year hiatus gasped in despair.
Enter sixth-round draft pick Gardner Minshew, who has since become the starter once again for the Jaguars after a three-game stretch where Foles could not muster any offense to help this franchise.
