So apparently NFL.com mentioned in their writeups of today's games that Carolina has one of the best pass defenses in the league. I did not know that. But if that's the case, that just makes me even more glad to see how Minshew and the receiving corps did today. Minshew and [BLEEP] Chark Week in particular give me hope for the future.

Fournette had over 100 yards again, right? Make of that what you will, but I'll call that a positive.

But it's hard to be excited, even about a close game like this, when your defense is giving away home runs like that. It's been a problem since 2017, and it's a problem still now. Hell of it is, i'm not sure if it's fixable with this coaching staff and the particular players they have on hand right now. I don't even know if having Ramsey on the field would have made much of a difference in stopping that run game today.

But since this is a thread about POSITIVES, the only reason I'm absolutely enjoying this season so far is because of Gardner [BLEEP] Minshew. i was happy to hear about Foles's signing months ago, because at LAST it felt like we were getting a decent quarterback. In Mr. Mania though? We might have more than just 'decent' at this point. I don't think this team is winning next week, but i'm looking forward to it anyway because Gardner is a baller, and I hope he keeps this up. It'd be awesome to see him win ROTY if such is even possible for a Jaguar to do in this league
