I would definitely give Minshew until the end of the season but I'm not seeing anything telling me he's going to have the ability to re-adjust his game. I don't think it's really an arm strength issue, I think the defenses are confusing him enough to cause him to make the wrong decisions. It's weird because he was actually making pretty good decisions earlier on.

I think it's an arm strength issue.  He used to make up for his lack of arm strength with elite level anticipation, but he seems to have lost that as well

Have you ever played QB and learned an offense? I’m not attacking, just asking. It’s hard to remember sometimes where every receiver is supposed to be...let alone where they actually end up... even at the high school level. Especially when you’ve been in the offense for a short time.

He is barely into this offense. He had no real training camp in it. That’s why the anticipation has gone away. I’ve mentioned numerous times, I kept waiting for some of his escapes in the pocket for weeks and then all of a sudden in the Texans game, they came back. My theory is that he has learned the offense to the point that when the play breaks down, he understands where the routes have gone and where his guys are.

That doesn't explain why he's flat out missing receivers he used to hit and his accuracy issues with even short passes. He used to be very accurate. The only thing I can figure is the defenses are giving him looks he just doesn't know how to deal with.

IMO, it’s trying to consume a new offense that is undoubtedly complicated mixed with defenses throwing new looks at him.
