Hello, everyone. I'm new. I have lurked this site for a bit and wanted to post.

I wanted Minshew to continue to start but I can understand why the staff decided to go with Nick. I do feel like in order for this to end up being a successful enough decision, that the team needs to win at least five games with Nick. I do feel he needs to have more win than GM (though not necessarily run the table or even win 6 games). And I think that is a fair request. He's starting about the same amount of games as Minshew, and he's more experienced. I also think that this part of the schedule is easier or at the very least comparable to the first half. Plus the team is getting back some other players from injury. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the team should win like five games with him. If he's better than GM, the team should perform better and possibly get at least one more win, than they did with GM.

Especially since I've seen on places like Twitter a lot of people who favor Nick, try to downplay what Gardner did when he was starting. And harp on how he beat weak teams. There are people that act like GM didn't really do anything even though he did enough for the team to still be in position for a WC. I felt like overall Gardner did a pretty decent job, especially for a 6th round rookie that wasn't supposed to start. 

There are people out there that are acting like Nick is way better than Gardner and like he's done more for the Jags. Even though he hasn't played one full game for them yet. A lot of people like to mention him being a SuperBowl MVP and what he's done for the Eagles the past couple of seasons. Which can't be denied, though this is a different team than the Eagles.

I am interested in seeing how Nick does and I do think he could win at least five games. Maybe better. I also hope to see GM start again. I do believe he can be a starter, especially if he develops more as a QB.
