That's just good old fashioned coach speak. You want to give them praise but you don't want to roll the red carpet out for them and anoint them neither. 

But you can bet your [BLEEP] in the QB room there was high five's going around after that Denver game. Minshew made some throws and plays that are not common. Between the TD pass to Armstead, the TD pass that was nullified to Chark and the play where the ball bounced off the turf and he picked it up and still made a positive out of it?

That's just good head's up football for a 6th RD pick going into just his 3rd official start. Especially behind this offensive line. He's not waiting around with his passes neither. He makes decisions quickly and has the confidence in himself to make that throw happen quickly. It's early. But if he can pull another good performance out of his hat against the Panthers it's just going to further cement his footing here in Jacksonville.

Don't forget the play where he escaped the sack, rolled to his right, and found Keelan Cole for a first down.  It's interesting to watch the all-22 view of that play.  Cole was coming from a LOOOONG way away but Minshew saw he was outrunning his guy, and nailed him right in the chest.  He picked exactly the right guy to throw to, and it wasn't the one closest to him.
