Wrote: Teams haven't even game planned for him yet.  From what I saw, the majority of his passes were released within 3 seconds and were quick flair or out routes.  I expect Houston to play up on our receivers and take away the short 3 yard pass plays.  This will make Minshew have to go through his progression while feeling the heat of the Texans pass rush.

I'm sure hoping he turns out to be a franchise QB but at this point, I'm not placing a lot of emphasis on a QB that was down 37-13 and playing against a very soft KC defense that was giving our WRs a huge cushion.

Well that's the majority of most QBs throws who aren't Watson or Mahomes. There were 4 passes that really stuck out to me that give me hope for him as a passer.

1. The back shoulder TD throw to Conley was his best throw of the day. It was a beauty.
2. The "honey hole" throw to Chark down the ride sideline. Fit in there with speed and accuracy.
3. The bomb to Chark where he throws flat footed. He can correct this by really stepping up to throw but boy was it nice.
4. It went unnoticed but the quick hitch he threw to Westbrook for a first down was something we rarely saw here. He threw it before Westbrook came out of his break and it was right on time.

They can play up on the receivers all they want but their corners aren't very good anymore. I would expect Chark and Conley to take advantage of this for big gains.
