Although they lost/tied, he made it competitive even though he was taking some nasty licks like the one Malik Jackson put on him. Which leads me to the theory I arrived at today of why Minshew is not franchise: he doesn't have the physical courage.
Last week's game was a little puzzling but I dismissed it as an off game because he had so little time to prepare. Today, with a mini by week to rest and prepare, he looked almost the same. Yet Burrow, who has taken plenty of punishment in 4 weeks, stands in the pocket and fires like true franchise QBs do while Minshew sees phantoms and scrambles if given the chance.

Minshew doesn't have the fortitude and the courage to handle the physical violence sometimes visited on a QB. Whether he's afraid of the pain, risk of injury, or the anxiety of blind hits, he's clearly uncomfortable playing where he needs to be in order to achieve franchise status, and that's in pocket.

We can agree to disagree.  That is an unfair characterization.  We can chase the QB draft as rinse and repeat.  We are deficit across the board.
