He's an interesting stat for Jags fans. In every quarter of the season where Minshew started most of the games, the Jags had a .500 record. We went 2-2, 2-2, 0-4 and 2-2.

In the third quarter where Nick started the majority of the games, (3) the Jags lost all four games. Minshew was .500 when he was benched, Minshew was .500 when the season ended and is .500 as a starter overall. (Even with all of the blowout games the Jags had). 

Based off of those statistics, it's not a stretch to say that if Minshew had just kept playing, we could have possibly won at least a couple of more games, and possibly ended the season 8-8. (And that's taken into consideration he would have still had some ups and down as a rookie. He may have had another rough game, had he started more. But he also could have had a couple of more decent/good games as well).

All things considering, 8-8 would have been a decent record with a six round promising rookie. It would have provided more optimism/excitement for the fanbase. And could have had us hovering around a playoff spot a lot longer than we were. Plus, it definitely would have helped his OROY chances as well.
