I like his odds.

Historically the Sophomore slump tends to come from rookies who have really good rookie years. While Minshew worked plenty of magic and gave us hope, his rookie year still looked much like a rookie season with plenty of lows. Missing reads, holding the ball too long, had to make come backs late because of an inability to move the ball early.

Matt Ryan, RGme (albeith because of injury), Sam Bradford, Mayfield, Prescott (although his slumpy year was still solid), these guys had better than average or really good rookie years and then took a step back. 
I don't think Minshew was quite on that level as a rookie so I don't foresee a slump in that manner. If he "slumps" it means he's just not that good and the magic was more or less a mirage.

Personally I think his rookie campaign was on par with those other guys, but he suffers the Jacksonville Slight as shown by not even making the podium for the OROY award this year.
