Kicking the shit out of the Jags won't tell us much. Like I said, I think these kinds of teams are 'get fat' games and they're right in the wheelhouse of an aggressive quarterback. I expect something in the neighborhood of 22/32 for 275 yards and 2 TDs.

And if he goes something like 19/26 for 205 and 1 TD, that still won't tell us if he's better than Alex or not, since that's what you'd expect from Alex Smith.
If Foles doesn't turn the ball over he'll be equally as effective as Alex.
