I think our staff might cut Minshew and go with Beathard after unsuccessfully finding a trade partner for Gardner.

I really think that they need to give Beat Hard time with the twos to truly assess. I'm even fine if they rotate the QBs each possession in the second half this weekend, but I want to see more from Beathard than just looking like a guy who can hold his own against PS fodder. He's doing as expected thus far, someone with starting experience in actual games should be able to outplay guys he's playing against.

If we reverse the roles, what changes? That may go a big way to determining who you roll with.

At this point, though, unless practice plays out differently than the games, I can't see how Minshew is ahead of Beathard for the second string job. If you are concerned about trade return, I'd venture that you might be able to get more by dealing Beathard if he and Minshew are judged to be nearly equal as backup. His contract is more expensive, but his film is definitely better this season and may get someone looking for a backup or bandaid starter to offer something for him.

I don't think either guy nets more than a late day 3 pick, so whoop dee doo about trying to deal either one. Those late picks aren't going to make much of a difference in our future W/L record.
