I'll be curious to see what ya'lls thoughts are in 10 years after that happened.

I honestly think you guys don't know what a good QB looks like. We been seeing bad ones too often. To even bring up Bortle's apologists just goes to show you don't understand what you're seeing. Bortles was actually pretty decent except in one key category, he could not throw the football. Which is a pretty laughable problem to have as a QB. There is one key difference between Minshew and Bortles. Minshew, the entire league recognizes he is a good QB, except some traumatized Jags fans. Bortles the entire league recognized as a bad QB, except some traumatized Jags fans.

Minshew checks all the boxes, we're just a bad football team, which is frustrating because our Offense is good enough to hang with most teams in this league, being 3 years removed from on of the League's best defenses, this hurts.

The plan is obviously to push next year, and I trust we will be just improved. But honestly without some big free agent signings I'm not sure it will be enough. Not sure who's all going to be available this off season

Bingo, I think there's a little bit of this going on. People see the great plays other young QBs are making but the bad plays aren't typically on the highlights and since we're not watching those players on a game by game basis, we don't see those. Burrows forced some bad decisions in a few instances yesterday that could have been easy picks and would have altered the perception of his performance dramatically. With that said, Minshew still had a better stat line even for a game most people think of as "bad".

Even the best players throw picks, scramble when they should have stayed in the pocket, and take sacks they shouldn't at times. It happens.

He may end up not being the answer but at least wait to the end of the season to decide.

I agree and overall he has been performing better than most of the other young QB's including from his class. Some more lists to show how he's measured up against the other 2019 QBs:

He's performed better than just about all of them, though almost all of them were taken in rounds ahead of him. Though some of them haven't really played yet and, you could definitely give Drew Lock some credit for being the only QB of that class to have a winning record and how's he's performed in a more limited amount of starts. Yet Gardner continues to get doubted more than some of the other QB's on this list.
