Compared to other QBs, he's pretty short and has a weak arm so I'd have to say that he does not have all the tools.

Think I read somewhere the average height of an NFL QB is like 6'2"-6'3"
Minshew is listed at 6'1".
Rodgers is 6'2"
Dak is 6'2"
Jackson is 6'2"

Wilson and Brees are like 5'11"

I think height thing is slightly over played these days, yes OL guys are tall but offenses these days aren't just drop back and look over the OL to routes.
I don't think an inch or two matters THAT much.

Arm strength, or velocity, or ability to "zip" the throws into tight windows probably is a legitimate knock. Minshew probably will never be able to make "all the throws" that a guy like Mahomes or Rodgers or even Wilson makes. But he has enough ability to make most of the throws and is (usually) accurate enough to put the ball in a place the WR can make some YAC. Some of his accuracy has been an issue these past couple weeks and I'm waiting to see if he can get back to better ball placement and still needs to improve on his "vision" which I believe can come with time and trusting his protection (when it's there)

Top 5 in stats? I mean, I guess I could see it happening. Scheme and skill players dependent. Stats don't tell the whole story though. I doubt we mention him in top 5 lists with guys like Wilson, Rodgers, Mahomes, etc.
