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.

You can't make any strong judgements about any QB in the 2019 class after Week 4 of 2020.  Kyler Murray is still the best of that bunch imo.  His athleticism separates him from the rest, not his draft position.  Re-run this list at the end of this season and see where the rankings are.  Minshew will start falling.  I like him and I hope I am wrong, but you can see it regressing already these last 2 weeks against bad teams.
