As I stated in another post, if he comes out the next game looking the same, it might be time to sit him. You can see the stress in his face and his play. Of course it doesn't help that the defense is hanging 4 or 5 TDs around his neck just to stay even. 

I wouldn't mind seeing Luton work with this crew for a half to see if his size and height make a difference.

IMO, he doesn't deserved to get bench. And while I am happy to hear how Jake Luton was performing in camp, it looks like he's been relegated to the 3rd stringer position as he has been inactive all of the games this year. So if you want Minshew benched, you might be getting Glennon.

As much as I like Minshew, I have to agree that we have to draft a QB if we are in the top 5. QB is too important to settle. Btw, drafting a QB does not mean we just cut Minshew in that scenario.

The best teams have a really good backup. You don’t want your franchise guy to go down and boom your whole season is toast. Minshew is a guy that can carry a winning team forward and keep you in the running. If we do draft a QB we need to do everything possible to keep Minshew.

If they cut him bench him, (or possibly trade him), he will eventually end up on another team. Possibly one where he will have a better chance of having success. They could trade him to a team that doesn't have a concrete answer at the starting position for QB.

If they bench him, there is no way I see him staying with the Jags longer term. He will leave after his rookie contract is over. Barring some health issues I don't see Gardner willingly going for a long term back up role. He will go somewhere where he can possibly start. I think that he could be a longer term starter in this league, regardless of whether the Jags draft someone like Trevor Lawrence or not. And I could see him being successful on another team, especially ones that have defenses that are at least somewhat decent.
