1. Wilson was a 3rd round pick... not a 6th round pick.

2. Flynn was paid a minimal veteran contract worth $870,000. Foles is being paid $88 mil including $50 mil guaranteed.

No, Flynn was making a hell of a lot more than that..

"The Seahawks reached agreement Sunday with [font=Georgia,]Matt Flynn on a three-year deal, bringing one of the most wanted -- yet unproven -- free agents to the Pacific Northwest to try and solidify Seattle's QB position.[/font]

The contract is worth $26 million with $10 million guaranteed, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter."

Seahawks ended up paying him $14.5m in total for basically nothing.


Oops... my bad.

I checked out Spotrac, but I see now they're only going back to 2015 where Flynn signed with the Seahawks back in 2012.

It's still hardly the same thing tho.

I think the coaches believe they need to win now in order to save their jobs. They could play the young kid who also gives them a chance to win (went 4-4 as a starter) but it would also allow Gardner the chance to develop. The best thing for this franchise is to finally find a franchise QB to build around. Is that Minshew? Who knows but having him play the rest of the games will help you find out faster than watching him hold a clipboard.

I believe that if the coaches weren’t on the hotseat, Minshew would still be the starter.

I completely agree with this take. If Marrone isn't coaching for his job, Minshew is taking the snaps.


I highly doubt this. Don't see at all.

Foles is the right decision at this point, and nothing about Marrone suggests a guy that would make a totally different call just because he's worried about getting fired. Moreover, this is not just about winning now, but also about looking at our future because the Jaguars must know precisely who they have with their $88 million investment. They know precisely what they have with Minshew.
