And they'll hopefully be taking bites out of each other's records.
Yeah lets hope. Has to be one of the hardest divisions to predict this year.

That's a very misleading stat. Foles started off behind Vick. He's been behind Wentz in his return to Philly. He's only had 2 seasons where he was the unquestioned starter week one and could have had full seasons. In the first, he had his team at 6-2 before suffering a broken collarbone. In the second, post-trade to St. Louis, his missed games were because the coaching staff benched him, not because of injury.
It may be somewhat misleading, but still Foles is 30 years old and has never played a complete season. He has had a few spectacular runs spread over seven years, but shied away from the opportunity to be starter, so you can't use lack of chances as an excuse.
You need a QB and Foles is an improvement. I'd like it if I were a Jags fan.
Foles best run was his 2013 season, so his playoff run in 2017 was not a one-off. He was good in 2018, too. The question is whether his high level play is something he can sustain at this point in his career, or is something more along the lines of the Flacco/Eli lightning strikes.
Eagles’ Nick Foles ’bound for Jacksonville’ report says; Super Bowl star can’t sign until March 13
I guess this leads to the obvious question, are the Jaguars now the Pats biggest contenders for the AFC crown?
I agree that Foles is better than Bortles, however...
It’s a “win now” move with the kind of deal he may get, ala the 2015 Broncos. We’d have to restructure and push money out and hope he’s all we hoped for, and win a SB the next 2-3 years. If not, it will mean we go dark like the Broncos, as our cap will need some “cut n gut” to be healthy. It’s a gamble for sure.
