It's like you feel personally attacked for any scrutiny/criticism against Minshew and take it to heart - unless you are related to him?

We sucked with Minshew at the helm this year and we certainly suck with the others. If Minshew was that much of a difference maker, he would have been on the field ASAP.

The problem for him is that he's not that. He's hit his ceiling as a serviceable backup and showed why he was indeed selected in the 6th round.

I don't feel personally attacked, I'm simply pointing out stuff that said yesterday about Doug's behavior towards Gardner. And how he's not being truthful about trying to give the team the best chance to win.

I disagree with your assesment about Gardner. I do believe he could be a starter and especially in a better situation. And I remember you being a fan of him as well earlier on. It's interesting to see how quickly you and others have turned against him and decided to dump all over him. But I guess that's what happens when you think the biggest problem with this team is QB play (it's not IMHO). And think that a new QB can magically fix everything. That's not often the case. The Jags could end being in the same position they are next year with whoever they draft, if they don't address other major issues with this team. Including the coaching, which I hope is one of the first things that get addressed and fixed by next season.

And I'm no I'm related to Gardner lol. And if you don't like my posts you can certainly scroll on by them.

Of course I was 100% supportive of Minshew - especially after what we witnessed his first season. I think that "puppy love" affection/magic quickly wore off once he regressed tremendously, even before his injury, this year.

Also, I fully recognize and have addressed that this team has glaring holes in many areas - all of which play a role in our teams demise this year. But to think that QB play is not a major issue is simply being oblivious to the problem. I mean Minshew was straight up missing the mark too much even with a clean pocket and even forcing self-sacks. For as bad as our O-line was last year, this year they have been playing around the league average.

I am confident that most of the top 6 QBs coming out of this draft will be a significant upgrade over what we have at QB currently (especially the top 2 or 3 prospects) - and with the bevy of draft capital that we possess, we need to capitalize on that.
