Darrell Bevell and Brian Schottenheimer have been around and coached some very good QBs throughout their careers. Do you really think it took them a month of splitting reps between Minshew and Lawrence before they finally realized Lawrence is far superior? Wouldn't they speak up about it? Something along the lines of, splitting reps is pointless because we all know Lawrence is the guy and he should be getting the full reps? Did they not speak up, or did Urbs just not care because it's his show and he's going to do whatever he wants regardless?

I agree with you on our stubborn coach. I have plenty of doubts too, but I just find it odd that starting Wingard is this triggering for folks. If he starts and sucks out loud, it just means we'll see others, including Cisco get their opportunity to take his place.

He's been inconsistent, takes bad angles, gets bad penalties and has generally been a pretty big liability, particularly against the pass, when he's been in games.  Many assume that the only reason he made the team is due to his special teams play, while many more are surprised that he made the team at all.  Unless a light has come on for the young man, and we simply haven't seen it on the field yet, I'm surprised that there are Jag fans that aren't stunned that he's listed as the starter.

Hopefully he's a better player and it translates to game day.  It will definitely be an interesting spot to watch.
