Only reason to start Foles over a rookie in 2017 is to not throw the rookie to the dogs. Foles does not have enough high caliber starting experience that the rookie can watch and learn from.
I would either keep Smith and start the rookie in 2018 or I would start the rookie and have Foles as the backup.
Getting another proven retread like Romo whose passing numbers are significantly better than Smiths means this franchise has its sights on an AFCCG at least. So you need a good backup for the wheels to not completely fall off if (or rather when) Romo gets hurt, so I would go with Foles as the backup. Then what is the point of drafting a high round QB at all in 2017 to have him #3 on the depth chart?
