No conservative run the ball nonsense. Let the kid take shots down the field and ball out. He may not be rookie of the year but Minshew's already shown he can be the starter for this team. Which is good, because getting Lawrence is a pipe dream.

I like this guy and I hope he continues to progress, and with a little bit of lucky, MAYBE he shows that he's every bit as good a professional player as Murray and other Rooks from this year's draft - if not better. One can only hope

He's literally already better in every category, including wins.

I'm speaking generally in terms of the long term future. One year alone doesn't prove everything, as we all well know by now. For all we know he is one of those dudes who has a really high floor, but a low ceiling; i'd hate to think that, but it's always possible. I don't think that's the case though. I hope not. I'm getting tired of Jacksonville always passing up on good QBs to make semi-ok or just straight up bad QBs work. It'd be nice to have some luck on our side and draft one of the few sixth rounders to become a regular starter

For the record I was never high on either Murray or Jones. Jones might turn out decently, and maybe Murray will too. It's just too early to say for any of these guys. Minshew is a lot better than anybody expected though, and that's enough for me right now. I just hope Marrone and his staff don't ruin the kid's chances going forward
