A bad season means new FO, and new GMs like to draft their own guy. Hopefully they realize this and give Gardner an offensive line that can actually block and some weapons other than Chark would be nice.

There's a half dozen coaches/GMs sitting at home thinking, "I could have this guy on a rookie deal for two more years? Sign me up."

Missing the point. If this team flops, which they will if they don’t heavily address the offensive line and throw in a quality TE, this FO is toast. If that happens you would assume that Gardner had a bad year. It’s a QB league. QB plays bad, team is likely bad. Rare 1 year wonders happen like 2017, but it’s not sustainable. The only way to sustain success in the current NFL is to find your QB and protect him. 

Now if the team sucks and Gardner has a bad year, I highly doubt that a brand new GM and coach is going to want to start out with a 6th round QB. Which will put this team right back to square 1, finding the QB. It’s a weird situation because it’s clear the FO/coaching is in win now mode and might make decisions for immediate success, which could not be the best for the growth of Minshew. Ultimately it could all flop, and the kid won’t have a real chance to prove himself. I think he can be the guy, and I just hope to God that they do everything they can to put help around Gardner. 

We have been the worst team in the NFL the last decade. It’s time to stop the BS and build around the damn QB.
