Kyler is in a much better situation than Gardner is. And always has been since they both entered the NFL. What type of record would Gardner have, if he had the coaching/situation that Kyler has had.

Kyler is projected to throw 30Tds and 16 interceptions. Gardner is projected to throw the same amount of TD's (30) and less interceptions. (11). And mind you this on a team that has been playing pretty badly overall and Gardner having some struggles, and people feeling that he may have lost confidence. How well could he do if the team were better and he had better coaching/support. Because he's right there with Kyler in terms of stats/individual performance with a worse situation.

Yet you got a lot of Jags fan calling for Gardner to be benched, saying he's terrible and actually calling him garbage. Which IMO is ridiculous. Stuff like this is why a lot of the non Jags fans are looking at Jags fans like a lot of them are crazy when they make these types of comments about Gardner, lol.

Do you understand what "reductionist" thinking is?  Because you are giving a clinic on it right now. Kyler is in a better situation because he is making it better and Minshew is not capable of doing that here.  Joe Burrow is still showing his talents in Cincy in a bad situation, but Minshew is not showing that here. Minshew is ranked #25 in QBR. That is BAD, That's on HIM.

Cam Newton got benched yesterday too. This is big boy football. Produce or you're out.

Again, anyone outside of Duval County (and most people in Duval County) would be laughing hysterically at the argument you are attempting to make.
