There are 3 types of QBs when pressured..

1. Those that see ghosts, lose their composure and throw mistake after mistake often leading to turnovers. Bortles..good example.
2. Those that over perceive the pressure, fail their reads, hold the ball too long causing the sack...Minshew
3. Franchise QB get the ball off quick and composed taking the hit but executing over and over.. Burrow

We have several rookie QBs and 2nd year QBs to compare Minshew against.

Tell me fellas you would rather have Minshew over the following right now:

Josh Allen
Kyler Murray
Joe Burrow
Justin Herbert

Not going into the QBs we passed on wasting time on Bortles. The above are just the QBs we passed on for Foles/Minshew.

I’m not saying a franchise QB will solve all of our problems (hello Bengals), but it certainly elevates the rest of the team.

Two of those guys were #1 overall picks and the other two were 6th and 7th overall.. They were all taken before we were even on the clock.. A lot of people were calling Allen a bust after his rookie season as well. We didn't pass on any of them.

I also remember people talking poorly about Josh Allen (including sports analysts). They were saying stuff like he was raw and a "project". Heck, even in last year's playoff game against the Texans people were questioning his decision making. Granted, he's come into his own, but people definitely weren't that high on him at first. Fortunately, for him he was given enough support and some more time to develop and he's doing well now.
