He needs to go somewhere with an aggressive offensive staff or it won't work.

Any QB needs good protection.
However, there were multiple instances the last few games where Foles didnt have any protection, managed to move around while avoiding the pass rush, kept his eyes downfield and completed a drive/game changing play.
I know this is tough for a Chiefs fan to identify since it almost never happened within the last 5 years, but it is one of the big reasons why the Eagles won games the last few weeks. Foles was money and played like a franchise QB.
