In his career, he has thrown for 3,469 yards, 18 TDs, 13 Ints, 58.5% completion rate, and a career 81.1 rating.  This past season, he appeared in 6 games, threw for 787 yards, 6 TDs, 0 Ints, 63.5% completion rate, and a 105.7 rating.  Aside from yards thrown, his stats have generally been trending better as he has gained experience in the league.

Multiple outlets (mostly triggered by Jeremy Fowler at ESPN) in San Francisco are rumoring that the 49ers may be targeting Minshew in a trade.  They want to upgrade their backup QB situation, desire someone to challenge JimmyG if needed, and can be affordable.  Minshew has 2 years left on his rookie deal.
