I’m genuinely curious how you came to that conclusion?

By watching him. I'm seeing him consistently make the same major flaws over and over. He's taking too long to make his reads, he is constantly checking down, he looks like he not confident in himself to even make mid range throws and I'm seeing a lack of consistency putting the ball in the endzone, even against bad teams. I'm not saying he can't have a long and productive career as an NFL backup, but he's not passing the eyeball test when it comes to being a franchise QB. Believe me, I desperately want to believe he is the QB that can lead us to a Superbowl. I want that so bad, but I'm not seeing it at all. I'm sick of being without a good QB. We haven't even had a decent QB since Brunell left. I'm just getting so frustrated! Every year, it's the same thing over and over. We keep overpaying veteran QB's that never work out. I try not to let it bother me, but a fan can only take so much. This has probably been the most infuriating season I have witnessed since the inception of the team. I really thought we'd at least take a small step forward and instead, we've moved five steps backward. At this point, there should be no price we shouldn't be willing to pay in order to get a franchise QB, a good NT and improving the O-Line. These 3 areas are what is holding us back.

That said, I'm certainly not rushing to trade him and he's starting ahead of Foles all day long...but I also can't ignore that 4 of his last 5 starts that teams have been able to prepare for have been pretty blah.

Fairly easy to shut down any qb when they essentially have one viable target and no tight ends. We don’t have a WR2. The other teams defense can essentially toy around with our o-line all game. 

Not saying I think Minshew is our franchise QB, but hard to tell in this mess.

I totally disagree. I like our receivers. Yes, we need a TE, desperately, but there is nothing wrong with Chark and Westbrook. We could add some depth at WR late in the draft. This is a very, very deep WR class.

Anyone who thinks this guy is our team's savior is idiotic.
