Umm, maybe I'm just crazy but as a fan watching the game, I NEVER felt the same level of hope watching Bortles play as I do watching Minshew.  I also could be wrong, but I can't recall Bortles ever having a game where he led us on a comeback in the 4th quarter from being down and out like we were tonight.  With Bortles, a 1 point lead for the other team was safe.

I'll go further than that and say I've never seen the team play with the confidence they do with Minshew in there, and that went for Bort, Foles, Gabby, Chenne, take your pick. He exudes confidence, and the team feeds off it.

I'm not going to schedule a parade in honor of the victory yesterday, as I saw a lot of the same faults of our own team in our opponent (poor line play, all the dang penalties, young players making inexcusable mistakes). We got a win, and yay team. We still squeaked it out.

I'm just glad we have a guy on the roster who isn't walking around hopelessly waiting for the next opportunity to fail. We've had plenty of that in the past. Let's enjoy football being fun, win, lose or tie.
