It seemed like Minshew was considered more for it during the first half of the season when he was playing really well. Now not as much in this 2nd half especially after he was benched. I do think though that neither one of them may win it and that it will probably go to Josh Jacobs from the Raiders.

Minshew still has a chance to be nominated and win the Pepsi Rookie of the Year Award. I had mentioned this in another thread a little while ago, but Pepsi looks at all different rookie nominees/winners of the Pepsi Rookie of the week awards. And they nominate five rookies. With all of the times he's won this season, I could see Minshew being nominated for the yearly award. And it's fan voted and would allow him to probably go to Miami during the Super Bowl festivities.

Pepsi holds a rookie brunch during these festivities and there is trophy handed out to their rookie of the year winner. So Minshew could win that award if enough fans vote for him. And sometimes the Pepsi Rookie of the Year award winner is different than the OROY award winner. Teddy Bridgewater won it in 2014, but OBJ won the OROY award that year.

Also, regarding Will Grier, he did have a rough first game. But he's a rookie, it's his first game, and he hasn't had hardly any opportunity to work with the 1s. I think he can possibly show growth and develop, I just don't know how much of an opportunity he may get to do that. He'll probably get next week and then after that, I'm not sure what the Panthers will do with the QB situation. Cam seems like he wants to come back, so maybe they will roll the dice with him for another year.
