Are you also trying to say that if Smith had gotten hurt during Mahomes rookie season and Mahomes did his thing, that Reid would have gone back to Smith? Or if Rodgers did his thing after a Favre injury that they would have gone back to Favre? The injury to Foles changed everything. If Foles never got hurt, we obviously wouldn't have seen Minshew but the problem here, is we did see him. We saw him light up Denver and Carolina (both top 10 pass defense teams). 

I'm also talking from a pure Sunday standpoint. The point some are trying to make is that Minshew is somehow learning something on Sundays. What exactly is that? What's he learning in those 3 hours that he couldn't also learn while playing?

There's no right or wrong way to develop a QB. That's clear considering Peyton played every snap as a rookie and Rodgers sat for 3 years behind a HOF QB but once Minshew took control and it was clear the moment wasn't too big and he wasn't hurting the teams chances (but instead winning games) he should have remained the starter.

I'll be clear. 

Minshew is not ready yet. 

He has rare and valuable intangibles. He does not have a firm foundation of fundamentals as a pocket passer yet and he's forced to rely on the intangibles. 

I want him to learn how to function more efficiently from the pocket  - so he doesn't have to build his whole game around running for his life and trying to find an open improvising receiver to move the chains. 

That's it in a nutshell.  He's not going to learn this stuff while running for his life. He's just going to keep winging it. 
I want his amazing ability to wing it to be an asset to him and the team. Not a major pillar of his functionality.

This makes sense.  He does need to learn how to read the field quicker while standing in the pocket.  Watching Foles can help with that.  My biggest concern is the line not holding up and Foles getting beat up on while standing there.  I'm excited to see how this plays out and my biggest hope is positivity, because being wrong means success.

That was ugly.  Only 1 WR on the right side blocking with 3 defenders crashing down.  I guess they prefer using him as a decoy and just running the ball.
