Who would have thought Sanchez threw the ball downfield more than any other QB, let alone two of the higher tier ones...19% for Foles does a lot to explain the high INT numbers. If you're going to throw deep, as the Eagles seem to like to do, it would behoove you to have an over the top threat like a DeSean Jackson.
I suspect the Eagles threw deep so often this past year *because* they did not have a deep threat like DJax. Without a credible deep threat defenses can stay close to the line of scrimmage and bottle up RBs.

17% of his passes were deep in 2013. He completed them at a better clip in 2013, because, shocker, he had a deep ball threat.
Foles wants to throw the ball downfield and Chip seems ok with him doing so. If he's the QB going forward, they need to give him someone to throw said deep ball to.

Regardless of who's QB having a viable deep threat definitely takes Chip's offense up a level. They needed that this year. Another thing they badly needed was a #2 receiver who could actually get separation. Some people continue to downplay the importance of talented receivers in this offense but without that they're going nowhere. Imagine if Maclin leaves and they don't replace him?
