No one is saying we should go out and get another Tom Brady or even another Nick Foles. That's unrealistic. We just want to have enough depth at QB, where if you have to use the backup he gives you a 50-50 shot to win the game if everything else clicks. Minshew can't even find the endzone.

I agree with you that Minshew is not ready to be a quality backup in the league. Guys like Chad Henne are, and do a fair job when asked to, but ultimately, lose games.

Teams HAVE to try and develop new talent, which is what most teams are trying when they draft QBs like Brady and Foles, who were not supposed to be great, and came to their respective teams when each had a capable starter.

You didn't see the improvement in Minshew from game to game, but as HB said, a lot of us did.  I did.  I honestly hope we acquire a decent vet as a backup and roll with 3 QBs like we used to when we were pretty good.  Guess we'll know more on Tuesday, as there will be a few looking for a job.
