It would be interesting if they did. I still support Gardner (though it looks like his fanbase is dwindling some). And I still think that people are putting too much blame on him. I think that fans are frustrated by the long string of losses and want to lay most of it at his feet (and in some cases darn near all of it) at his feet. But it's not all him. He has some ups and downs, but I still think he shows promise and feel like if he were a higher round pick, people might would take it easier on him. There are other QB's including first rounders on bad teams who look worse than Gardner and people haven't given up on them yet. Yet a lot of Jags fans would to constantly blame Gardner for a lot of the teams struggles. Or focus on replacing him like that's the biggest problem on this team. Including some of the local media on places like Twitter, who previously supported Gardner. 


It seem to be mostly Jags fans now who constantly criticize, talk about removing/benching Gardner. I noticed that when the news came out today from Ian Rapoport a lot of non Jags fans were the ones that were defending him. They know this situation in Jacksonville is rough and some of them believe he could succeed elsewhere. 

The trade deadline is November 3, I do wonder if a team would inquire about him. I'm not saying the Jags would trade him at that time, but you never know. And I still believe you could get higher than where he was drafted for him.

I certainly think Minshew is getting criticism that should be getting spread about. It's part of being QB, you get the glory for the W's, blame for the L's. My position has stayed the same. Yes you can get a better QB but hes way down the list of things to fix for me. The D gives up 30+ every week so we need to be this high scoring O and we arent. I notice a lot of quiet about that TD throw to Conley. That ball was perfect.

I really do think his draft pick is the anchor he will have round his ankle for his career. We had 5 years of Bortles as he was learning and I think Minshew is better.

The other thing I think people overlook with Minshew, his salary is so cheap. He is worth a lot more than we are paying and we your starting QB is on $800k, you can be extra aggressive in FA, you can afford that extra pass rusher. Throw in all the draft picks and I think you can improve big chunks. 

But I get if we are #1 or #2 going QB.
