Minshew possesses similar traits and nobody will out work the guy.  Maybe he is a franchise QB and maybe he isn't.  I'm excited to find out.

Exactly. Of course Brady to Minshew comparisons aren't likely to go the same way. But everyone thinks you need someone with an outrageous physical trait. Mahomes' arm, Cam's mobility, Ben's height/size. At the end of the day, a QB who's intelligent and a hard worker can outperform the most physically gifted. Look at Josh Allen, he has an arm that's arguably as strong or stronger than Mahomes but he's super inaccurate.

Give me intelligence and accuracy over a specific physical trait any day.

This is not to say Minshew will become a HOF QB, it's to say his physical traits are more than adequate to be a very successful NFL QB.
