In 2017, many looked at the Jacksonville Jaguars as a franchise that was just one solid quarterback away from being a viable contender as they proved reaching the AFC Championship game and taking the Patriots to the brink of eliminating them.
This past season also proved it when the wheels fell off on the team and QB Blake Bortles was benched for his terrible play.
On Wednesday, the team made a key hire to fix that position when they brought on ex-Eagles quarterback coach John DeFilippo as their offensive coordinator. That means there is a possibility that Nick Foles, who is expected to make his departure from Philly, could be making his way to Jacksonville.
1010 XL Jacksonville’s Hays Carlyon believes the hiring of OC John DeFilippo “strengthens the possibility” of the Jaguars “making an aggressive play” for Nick Foles.
One solid QB could turn everything right back around for the Jags who showed so much promise in 2017 as a viable contender and Nick Foles has shown he’s ready to be an everyday starter again.
