If there's another rookie QB out there that had to start i'm not remembering who it is right now. But Murray was expected to start, and so was Danny Dimes at some point, if i'm not mistaken. I'm not gonna say Minshew is the QB this team has been looking for for all these years, but when you look at these stats, I see a guy who came out of nowhere as a sixth rounder and performed admirably, given all of the turmoil that Jacksonville has had to deal with this season. This kid is a competent starter, right now. Over time Murray and Jones's ceilings may be higher, but that's for the future to decide, not the now. Jacksonville has to repair other holes first before just going out and grabbing another QB.

I think Minshew deserves a chance to prove his hold on the starting reigns in the preseason next year, battling it out with Foles. There will already be discussions about who should start between him and Foles as it is; I don't see how throwing in another rookie QB will help things.

Right now, call me on board with Minshew. He's been better than any other young QB brought onto this team in a long time.

Haskins eventually started this year and was underwhelming.
Drew Lock finally got some games in and actually played very well going 3-1 and tossing for a lil over 1k yards with a solid TD:INT ratio.

I'm on board with Minshew in the short term for sure. Let's get the OL and some other key spots (TE, back 7 on D) retooled and see what happens in 2020, and see if maybe QB needs to be addressed then.
