Of course if Chip gets him there's no development to be made and he's the most ready from day 1 QB.

Lovie's track record of developing QBs isn't exactly great, so if I were him, I'd be more likely to go with the more "pro ready" guy than the guy who is potentially a system QB. I'm actually not totally sold on Mariota for the Eagles, but the thought of having Foles stand in the pocket this year with no McCoy to serve as a running threat is terrifying.
