Well, if these COVID protocols are here to stay, back-up QBs role will be more important than ever. If a team in a playoff run loses their starting QB since he's in protocol, then it's good to have someone like Minshew who can win a game instead of a 21 yr old #2 QB with little to no NFL experience yet

that and the Jest defenders taking each other out LOL
Minshew should never have been let go from this team. He has proven on the field that he can play. Now that we see Lawrence’s struggles, we can appreciate what Gardner was working with last year (not much).
I kinda remember everyone here wanting to dump Gardner after the preseason due to Beathard flat-out playing better.
I always liked Minshew, and really thought the Steelers could've used him. Had he started on Pittsburgh, they'd probably be leading the AFC North. He's not great, but he is still pretty young. I think he still has potential, and could get better.

This is different from what we currently have?
TLaw may be a great QB but right now it's not evident by what we've seen outside of one game. I'll be the first to say rookies are going to struggle, but for folks to say TLaw is light years better than Minshew is just dumb.

Their ceilings are not the same. We know Minshew's ceiling. We gambled that TL's ceiling is higher than that. In Vegas, that bet is known as a lock.

We know that Minshew had a far better rookie season than Trevor is currently having.
True he had actual NFL coaches compared to this amateur class we have today.
When your best receiver is Marvin Jones...
They need to go get Trevor some playmakers that can score touchdowns from anywhere on the field. And a RB that can put up 100 yards. And a defense that can keep it under 28.
In all fairness, the best thing for Minshew was to escape this crap show. They screwed him over his rookie year and made him a token this season. We have bad karma as a franchise.
I'd like to see Minshew start more games.

If the Eagles want to back into the playoffs, he should. Hurts is awful.
We should have NEVER traded Minshew. Guy got written off when he was basically playing with the same talent as Trevor.

Jags FO bought the hype
Our next Payton Manning, top pick… was worse than our 6th rounder backup
Jags averaged 14 PPG, Eagles already have 17 at Halftime.

With their backups
I think that Dallas will probably end up winning this game, and they are scoring on like every drive. But I'm interested in seeing if Gardner and the backups can hang in there in the second half as well.
Cowboys have adjusted to Minshew in the second half. Rush the middle and cover the outside. A shame he has issues seeing receivers in the middle. I like the guy
Came crashing back down to earth real fast.
