It seems like “Minshew Mania” is over in Jacksonville, at least for now.

Jacksonville Jaguars’ head coach Doug Marrone announced on Tuesday that the Nick Foles will be the team’s starting quarterback moving forward, with rookie Gardner Minshew assuming the backup role.

Foles suffered a broken collarbone in Week 1 and landed on the injured reserve, which opened the opportunity for Minshew to start in the past eight weeks. Minshew put a nice run during that period, leading the team to 4-4 record, but that wasn’t enough for him to remain a starter once Foles recovered.

“I made a decision on the quarterbacks, and Nick will be our starting quarterback going forward,” – Marrone told reporters. “Obviously [it’s] my decision. I worked hard on it, came to it.”

According to Marrone, the team’s offense was suited to Foles in the offseason he believes that the Jags have a better chance of having success with him. 

“Looking back at all the work we put in and I just go back to the experience of what he’s going to be able to do,” – he added. “I think that’s going to give us the ability, a better chance of winning right now.”

After leading Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl win in 2017 and Divisional playoffs in 2018, Nick Foles signed a four-year, $88 million contract with the Jaguars in March.

In his first start for Jacksonville in Week 1, Foles completed 5 of 8 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game with an injury. His next game will be against Indianapolis Colts in Week 11.

The opening Sunday of NFL football couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who lost their season opener 40-26 at home to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Not only have they started off their season 0-1, but they’ve lost their starting quarterback for an extended period of time.

The Super Bowl LII MVP is expected to miss at least several weeks after breaking the bone in his left shoulder. It leaves the Jaguars, one of the possible division leaders in the wide-open AFC South, in a tough position as they look to return to the playoffs after a disappointing 2018 season.

Foles was given a four-year, $88 million contract by the team in March as they looked to get past the quarterbacking woes that have doomed them in many an occasion in the past.

The University of Arizona alum, who owns a career 26-18 record as a starter in the regular season and has thrown 68 touchdowns and only 33 interceptions in his career, was expected to make the team’s offense more dynamic and high-scoring.

Now, the team will have to turn to inexperienced recent acquisition Josh Dobbs or to rookie QB Gardner Minshew as they wait for Foles to recover.
