That being said, either way, I agree with selecting Trevor Lawrence if we have the opportunity. This franchise can’t afford to pass up another Potential Franchise QB in the draft.

I was ready to say that as well after the performance Minshew put on the end of last year. I make my mind up at any given moment based on the facts I have at that moment. I’m not an ego driven person so if I’m wrong I’m wrong and I take it as an opportunity to learn and move on. 

I started this thread because I recognized a version of Minshew against Miami that I saw in the Texans game in London last year. That for me was a BIG red flag for a franchise QB in his second year to fall apart to the floor of his rookie season. You just don’t see that. So I was comfortable taking the risk of making that judgment call. It’s been sadly vindicated by follow up performances. 

Now if Minshew comes out gunslinging and completely changes...Hey- I’m perfectly ok with that! I would love to be proven wrong! 

At this point- while I was mainly advocating taking Tlaw, at this point we may even need to entertain other prospects as well. In other words- Minshew has played bad enough to warrant an even greater risk than Tlaw, and grabbing a riskier prospect if available.
