I do think that people like to have knee jerk reactions and they have gotten more frequent regarding him the past few weeks. Even in games where he hasn't been the biggest problem and actually did enough to help the team win. People thing that getting someone like Trevor Lawrence may solve a lot of the Jags problems but that may not be the case. I still believe he is good enough to be a starter. He makes some mistakes but he still looks like a starter IMO and looks much better than some of the other starting young QB's around his age. 

I agree, he is not going to decide to be a long term backup. Unless he ends up having injury issues and just wants to stay on a team or something like that. He's going to want a chance to go somewhere else and start. And if he's healthy and able he will. At the very least he will try and do what a Case Keenum has done, like find a good team like the Vikings were at the time and try and do something with them. I could see him going to a good team like the Saints/Steelers (after their QB's retire, but they still aren't bad enough to get a top draft pick) and vying for a starting job.

I don't understand why Jay keeps going away from the run when it proves to be effective. Listening to some of his press conferences it kind of sounds like he feels that the Jags run the ball enough in these games. He needs to focus on what works.

2nd worst rushing defense last week, less than 20 rushing plays and about a 2-1 pass to rush ratio. Worst rushing defense this week, less than 20 rushing plays and about a 2.5-1 pass to rush ratio.

Minshew is doing fine considering his coordinator is starting to look incompetent and the rest of the league is picking up on this.

I hear you complaining about the number of runs, but our backs weren't getting a ton of yards today when we did run it.  The Texans YPC was over 2 yards better than ours, they only ran it 22 times, and were ahead the majority of the game.

You can't always blame the coach every time Minshew looks pedestrian.  At some point, if you have a franchise QB, he has got to make some plays for you.  He looked pretty hesitant today.
