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.

Yup, sometimes players simply need time to develop.

Today was Minshew's 16th game started (17th played). So going by that you can say he just finished his first full season game wise. His numbers are 391-617 for 4409 passing yards, 29 TDs, 10 INTs with a 7-10 record. I counted the loss from week 1 last season, because I included his stats from that game as well. Even though he didn't start, but pretty much played the entire game.

After some of the [BLEEP] show QB play this team has had to deal with. There shouldn't be a single person in this fan base that wouldn't be very excited about their QB after a first year like that. Especially when there's a lot of people who think the team is void of talent. And this isn't the case of garbage time stats like Bortles' 4.4k yards and 35 TD season. These games are actually competitive (besides the Defense this season) and typically are coming right down to the final minutes of the games.

Yeah, I think overall he's done a nice job so far. Especially considering the problems with this team. And his record would be even better overall and this season if the defense was even halfway decent in most of these games. If they were I think that the Jags would have beat the Bengals today and maybe even Miami. At worst they would be .500, but maybe be like 3-1. I'm disappointed with the way that the defense has played but I continue to enjoy watching Gardner and the offense. I hope they can scrape together some more wins this season.
