He'll do just fine. RBs are plug & play in that offense. What they really need is a QB to make it all happen. Foles, surprisingly, looked like that guy in 2013, not so much last year and then he got hurt. It will be interesting to see if the Eagles can somehow move up to get Mariota. Huge risk in my view but at Oregon they didn't call him big balls Chip for nothing.
If you need a top flight wide receiver to make your quarterback good, then you need a new quarterback. Quarterbacks can be good despite who they throw the ball to, but receivers are only as good as the quarterback throwing them the football. Simple fact.
Mike Wallace, Santonio Holmes, Deion Branch, Javon Walker, Greg Jennings, Randy Moss are all perfect examples. Big name receivers that moved to shitty quarterbacks during free agency, and were never effective again.

They'll also need to address their OL, I'm sure they'll sign a starter and draft a couple of guys to develop in the 2015 season:
