Minshew was QB for most of the time suring the preseason.

Is he the worst backup QB in the league?

Would I like better depth?  Of course.

But I think our depth deserves more credit.  Smoot is clearly a backup but he has played well so far this year.  He is tied 26th in sacks among D Linemen league wide.   Richardson has given us pretty good snaps rotating in at G.

You must of missed the part where I said other than QB.  I'll say dline as well.  Other than that this team has no depth.  It's not only preseason, it shows in the regular season as well.  This team has no depth compared to the rest of the league.  So it was coaching why our team had the worst team in the preseason?

I'd make use of the accompanying mountain of salt. 

Herndon, Minshew, Richardson, Keelan Cole, Seth DeValve, Shatley (2018 at C) , Smoot, and Andrew Wingard have all performed well coming off the bench. 

In addition to those, you have Armstead who the past few weeks looks really good catching the ball and should earn more snaps doing so plus you have a de facto starter in Wilson who got the job as a promoted depth player. Similar scenario with Taven Bryan who went form 30% of snaps to 60+% and has performed well. 

I think we are seeing lack of talent at LB and NT negatively affecting our run defense right now and some fans may be projecting that around the roster when many other positions aren't actually in very bad shape.

The worst part about losing Ramsey is it hurt our one good player we had at depth at corner who is now a decent starter and getting better

Truth be told we damn near had that on offense the second half of last year.

Four of five OL finished the year on IR.

Bortles benched.

Fournette hurt.

Lee hurt.

ASJ hurt/

That's 8/11 starters on offense not playing.

That was last year.  We are talking about this year.

Yeah I missed it.  Doesn't change your analysis, which is illogical.

If you are basing the evaluation of the Jaguars depth on preseason games, what is the basis for excluding Minshew.

The offense was far from the Greatest Show on Turf Rams when he was in the game in preseason.

As far those guys being down last year not this year, that's a distinction with little difference in the scheme of things, aside from being besides my point (though in fairness, my post on 8/11 missing offensive players was a tangent).

How much quality depth can a team realistically hope to acquire in one offseason?  Think about your answer.
