He went to Troy, Juco league, East Carolina and Washington State. It's not like he played for some power house team who was known for developing QBs at the NFL level. How polished could he have really been coming out of school.

You don't think the development from 21 to 23 is a big deal???  That is a clueless statement.  And Minshew's strengths coming out of college were his QB instincts and anticipation... weaknesses were accuracy.  Go look them up.  In other words, he was more polished that a guy like Allen in Buffalo.  Not sure why you're so worked up over that statement.  lol

We all know Allen was a raw prospect coming out. There's a bunch of other guys on that list though.

Depends on who's doing the developing, but I think the development from 23-26 is a bigger deal than 21-23.

I live in WA state so I got to watch a bunch of Minshew during his 1 year there. I wasn't really even that big on him coming out. Thought he was just a product of Leech's system, which is typically the case for Leech's QBs at the next level. Accuracy was not much of a problem for him that year.
