And I'm not closing the book on Foles being better, but he'd have to have developed quite a bit over the last couple of years. I thought he was a lot of fool's gold even in his elite season. He's shown far more bad than good as an NFL passer, IMO. I have a hard time convincing myself that a guy that couldn't keep his job over Case Keenum is now capable of leading a super bowl caliber offense against quality defenses.

Is he just a poor man's Carr? My worry is that he plays well against a Jags team that's looking to quit. In the process, he doesn't actually do anything to answer that question but suddenly there will be real grumblings in KC about the QB situation. If we make the change and it turns out he's a paper tiger that gets beat up by good defenses, we may be too far down the road to reverse course.

Best case scenario is that Smith just comes back healthy and plays like he did for the last half of last season (or the last half of 2013).

When do you think we'll know if Ware will be fine? By Wed or so?
