It's honestly deflating; seeing the next gen of QB's (Mahomes, Wilson, Watson, Allen, Jackson, etc.) and if Minshew isn't "it" we've missed the boat again. I don't know how Jacksonville can avoid a move to London with another ten years of losing and rebuilds.

We all should be rooting for Minshew

I won't go *this* far, but definitely if we think he is the man, and pass on QBs in the upcoming darft, and he then fails, we are absolutely cratered.

Probably the worst thing for us this past decade (-plus?) has been putting hope in a guy who wasn't 'the man', and by the time we realized we were doomed, the QB class was hot buttered backside. So, we fill the void by settling for someone who might be a franchise talent, he fails, and repeat.

If the answer isn't a resounding WE HAVE FOUND OUR GUY, go get another QB. There may be other holes on the roster that need filing, but until QB is set, you'll always be facing uphill battles to succeed.

AKA, just because we have Minshew, we shouldn't pass on QB talent if we can fit ourselves to the pick in the draft. 

We did it in 2004 and 2005 by passing on Big Ben and Rodgers, respectively, because we had Leftwich. 

We did it in 2012 by passing on Wilson because we had Gabbert. 

Did it again in 2017 by passing on Mahomes because we had Bortles. 

And if Minshew is the QB we hope he is, I would rather have the problem of having two good QB's then none at all.
