I would say if we had minshew back in 2017 we might have won a super bowl...

You need to wrap your head around the fact that this roster is so bad, it will be a long-term rebuild.  You need an elite QB to win a championship.  Every week it becomes more clear we do not have that.  You are quite emotional thinking otherwise, and it is clearly clouding your logic and judgements.  Next year is going to look a lot like Cincy this year, or Indy when Peyton Manning got there.  You need the QB first, then get building the rest.  We have 2 first round picks next year... it would be insane NOT to address that next year with our new GM.

The one thing I've learned about watching the NFL the past 40 years... it's a crap shoot... take for instance Brett favre... how many crappie seasons did he have before he got traded... he just happened to go to Green Bay... actually he didn't do too well at first... now take minshew it could be the same situation... maybe we needed to build around him and our management failed to do that.... who's to say that minshew doesn't go to a new team and gets put in the right fit and management.... turns out to be an elite quarterback like Brett favre... it's crap shoot dude... and that's just one example over the past hundred years of the NFL
