Minshew isn't starting this year, get over it. The front office, once again, painted themselves into a QB problem corner and we as the fans, like it or not, are stuck with the results for likely 6 more games.
OT:
Yeah Minshew played very very well against two of the worst teams in the NFL, with poor personnel and terrible coaching. That's promising for sure. He played downright poorly against two of the better teams in the league with very good rosters and great coaching.
Stop over selling him.
For a 6th round rookie he played way above his draft status, not something we as Jag fans can usually say. We should all be excited about his future and potential. But this staff isn't going to play him to get him live reps for the next staff. Quit cryin' about it.
Yeah Foles played like dick Sunday. It's possible he plays better next Sunday. The hyperbole about Minshew being better than a seasoned vet is a bit much. You can point to a single game and compare it with Foles single complete game and try to cherry pick an argument but really you just look like a fanboy mad he isn't controlling the team.
Just stop. Minshew's time will come. Patience is a virtue.
Personally, with the OL playing this bad and the D playing this bad... I'd rather Foles take the hits and use the draft to load the team up around Minshew next season anyway.
You know, we as fans understand we need line help, TE help and gameplanning help. You want to build around a QB who only played 8 games but instead of seeing if his flaws can be fixed with coaching, you'd rather leave it to chance. The unknown is whether he will continue to develop or if it was all a flash in the pan. We can build the team up around the QB position because thats what we should have been doing for the past 2 seasons. Finding out if he is the right QB to lead the team tho, thats what we should be figuring out this year rn. If Minshew isnt the guy and Foles isnt the guy, we need to have someone waiting to step up into that role.
His flaws can be fixed with coaching. Just not our coaches.
I'm not saying do nothing. I'm saying this year, with this staff, and this front office... nothing is going to be done.
So we as fans can bang on our keyboards about it and argue with each other all we want but help and change is not on the way for the next 6 games.
I think Minshew is the guy. His 8 games showed me his strengths and weaknesses. I'd protect his body and use the draft to beef up the OL/TE positions and retool the D. And come out swinging with the Mania in 2020. He's already proven to be a great leader from the QB position and just needs the right coaches to use him to his strengths and help him watch film.
This season is lost. These coaches are [BLEEP]. You guys want to watch Minshew get pulled groins and banged up shoulders behind an OL you all know to be crap.
Doesn't make sense to me.
