I'll go out on a limb and say that Minshew > Matt Ryan.

This team is bad, the only QB that could even come close to fixing this would be Aaron Rodgers. There's just too many issues that need to be addressed. Starting with the coaching staff.

This might be the stupidest comment I have seen on this board... and THAT is saying something.

To be clear here, I am not suggesting the Jags go get Ryan.  We are definitely not in "win now" mode with a QB putting us over the top.  But to suggest that Minshew is better than Matt Ryan is truly ridiculous.  Other points:

1.  Minshew is running for his life half the time because he holds on to the ball too long.  Our tackles occasionally struggle, but he doesn't help them much either.  He is slow with his reads.
2.  Ryan ID's the defense much quicker and typically gets the ball out on time
3.  Ryan's arm is FAR superior to Minshew.  Minshew can't make all the throws... Ryan can.
4.  Minshew is shorter than Ryan and doesn't throw from the pocket well... an important skill in a West Coast offense.  Shorter pocket QB's tend to overthrow short routes and underthrows deep routes because their release trajectory is typically higher to get over D-linemen.  We saw that against Detroit.

Again, I don't want Ryan here.  Let's shoot for a true franchise QB that can be here for the next decade.
