Fumble was bad but other than that this was pretty much what you will get from Minshew. High Completion Percentage and fairly accurate in the Red Zone. The Problem is, this game showed that he can't throw it deep, his balls sail and are under thrown. Burrow and Herbert have shown that they can hit Receivers in stride on 50 yarders, Minshew basically under threw Conley and he had to go back and get it. Same thing on the last drive, Minshew missed both throws to Cole. He is an amazing BU QB, maybe a starter for rebuilding teams that don't have their QB yet or want to wait a year for them to mature. But he isn't a franchise QB, and if you look at how the NFL works, a franchise QB is what you need to win it all.

lmao what? ok there's so many things that I disagree with on this... He I can't throw a deep seriously I can pull up highlights of him throwing it deep... and accurate... he underthrew people today because he was running for is life... but I also seen him running and throwing the ball before...but when you're running for your life and then trying to throw the ball 50 yards down the field... do you realize how many quarterbacks can't do that... are you a scout do you work for the NFL how do you know he's not a franchise quarterback... like I said in my last comment how long did it take for Brett favre to become an elite quarterback... and you're wrong there's been plenty of quarterbacks "that aren't franchise"  that have been mediocre and win the super bowl...

Im not about to argue about whether or not Minshew is gonna turn into Brady or Favre, Im just not. For him to become a player of that caliber would take a miracle. The rest of our team would have to be absolutely elite in every category for him lead us to a deeper playoff run, and the team is far from that (+ we have experienced first hand that a mediocre QB with an elite team is not how you win it all in the NFL).

I like Minshew, I think he is an awesome guy, and he is probably the best QB we have had in years, so it is tough to say that he might not be the player we should put our money on, but honestly, that just the way I see it. If he can be a bridge guy for us then he would have given us 3 solid years as a starter and that's all you can ask for from a sixth rounder. Then he will have to compete for the job and we will see how he fares...
