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.

They all have talent, but I still like Gardner, and think he is a good fit for the Jags. But I understand that some people will prefer some QB's to Gardner. Especially ones that are playing really well like Josh Allen right now. But I still believe in Gardner and believe he can be a franchise guy. Especially if the team (like the defense) gets better.

And I will ask these questions, how many of the QB's you listed (as well as other young QB's) would have a better record with this version of the Jags than Gardner does? Possibly Josh and Kyler. I don't think know that Joe or Justin would have a better record than Gardner does. (Though, I have been impressed by both of them). Granted, the Bengals are bad, but the Chargers have a better coach and defense IMO than the Jags and they have the same amount of wins as the Jags. And Justin technically hasn't won anything yet. (Tyrod won that first game).

And How would Gardner look on the Chargers or the Cardinals? The Chargers might have more wins with him.

Sadly, with this defense and Wash at the helm, I’m not even watching for wins anymore. I had high hopes before the Miami game, but now they can lose the rest of this season for all I care. It might actually be the best thing we could do is lose and wipe the slate clean of this coaching staff. 

My primary focus this season is watching our offense. If these past two games looked like the Titans game I would still be on the Minshew train. 

I don’t expect any of those listed QBs to be here and turning these loses into wins. We need a better defense. 

What has me pumping the brakes on Minshew is the poor defenses we just faced and Minshew looking completely shaken from the beginning of the game. I don’t question is football IQ, but it seems like he’s overthinking or too much in his own head. In his second year he shouldn’t be playing like he played in London last year...yet here we are.
