Another good article.  Here's the part that ought to get any Jag fan really excited:

"But if Minshew keeps playing like he has during the first five weeks, it would be better for the Jaguars to take the bolder route and look to start building around their breakout rookie. Sure, that’d leave them on the hook to pay for the most expensive backup quarterback in, well, probably ever. But that’s a short-term problem with long-term benefits. Having a good starting quarterback fall into your lap in the middle or late rounds can be a franchise-altering event—just ask the Seahawks or Cowboys.

"Jacksonville can trade Foles to a quarterback-needy team during the offseason, eat the dead money, then reap the benefits of having Minshew on an incredibly cheap rookie deal through the 2022 season. That would swing the team’s championship window wide open once again and give the Jags the much-needed cap flexibility to sink major resources into surrounding their quarterback with the pieces of a Super Bowl squad. "

That is why, even though we're only 2-3, and might not make the playoffs, I haven't been this excited about the Jags in maybe 15 years.

Both articles are great. All the hype aside....He IS  "just a guy" ....who is a hell of a quarterback. 

We should take that bold step.... .....but please pay him when the time is right.
