You can pick apart nearly every quarterback who ever played in their first 2 preseason rookie games, even greats such as Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, Brees, etc.

You can, but there is a lot riding on the backup position for us. Foles has a history of missing games and we NEED a reliable backup. Minshew has yet to get this team into the endzone and whether you agree with everything I say, that has to be a concern. Trusting the backup role to a rookie 6th round pick with a weak arm is just NOT a smart move at all. If we want to keep him on the team as a developmental 3rd string QB or a practice squad player, that is fine, but the backup role has to go to a guy that will give you a chance to win and I'm not seeing anything close to that from Minshew yet.
