If you are just a fan of Minshews than I am sure there are more appropriate mediums for that use than a board dedicated to the betterment of the Jaguars. 

Your prioritization of Minshews career indicates most of your posts are confirmation bias.

I'm both. And I also love football in general. Which is why I'm always starting weekly game threads, threads about players in the league section, lol.

I want the Jags to be successful. I want Gardner to be successful. It would be nice if they could do it together, lol. But it looks like that probably won't happen. It does get tiresome of seeing people attacking Gardner who is still technically a Jag, when he is one of the players on this team that is trying and IMO one of the bright spots on this team.

That's why I suggested the team could trade him so both the team and him could benefit in some ways. And possibly the fans, including some of you that think he garbage. If he's traded you as Jags fans won't have to deal with him being on the team. 

My discussing trading Gardner to another team in a move that could benefit both him and the Jags is not inappropriate. It's certainly not any more inappropriate than those of you who constantly talk about how much you wish the team had other QB's instead of Gardner. And players in general instead of Jags players.  People over here do that all of the time, in threads on the Jags sections. It's always people saying they prefer Kyler, Justin Herbert and Fields, Joe, Trevor, etc...etc... in these threads. And they aren't Jags players. H 

At least when I talk about Gardner, he's an actual Jags player. At least for now until he probably inevitably leaves this team.

Though, I'll tell you what. Should Gardner be traded/go to another team and perform well, I will try and to mostly limit my thoughts about that to the league section of this forum. I hope that will be an appropriate enough move for you and others, lol.

I appreciate your threads, always have. The point I was trying to make is that I feel like you have invested personal feelings for a player and it’s giving you confirmation bias. I get it... I really like Minshew. He’s probably the most likable guy to enter the league in years for me. 

This organization is in a very bad place. There are so so many things wrong with it. We most likely have a whole new front office next year with 2 first round picks. How often does that happen? 

I’ve personally never said Minshew is garbage....I’m garbage lol...he’s a guy that has been paid to play a sport I love at the professional level. If he stopped tomorrow he will have accomplished more than anyone on this board, myself included. 

With that said- does he pass the eye test for you? Would you really pass on a possible elite QB talent next year with our draft capital? 

As we have seen with Bortles, a bad decision, can cost many years of fan heartache.
