When the Jacksonville Jaguars decided to part ways with Blake Bortles in favor of 2017 Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles there was reason for hope within the clubhouse and the fan base. While the majority of his career has been a display of average regular season play, and above average post-season production, the most optimistic fan will look to his 2013 season. As signal caller for the Philadelphia Eagles that year he posted a gorgeous 27/2 TD to interception count, and a QB rating of 119.2.
While some will argue that hope is misplaced, and what you get in Foles is more a minor than major upgrade over Bortles, it cannot be argued he exists as a much better passer and an exponentially better leader.
