Personally, I am thrilled with this trade. We got way more than I thought we would. Many of you who are disappointed are pointing out Minshew's stats, but his stats are top heavy due to the things he did early in his career in garbage time. Look at him lately. He has regressed. His arm hasn't gotten any stronger, his decision making hasn't gotten any better and he's still holding the ball too long and taking too many sacks instead of throwing the ball out of bounds. He was never gonna help this team win any games going forward. And for those people thinking we could've gotten Zach Ertz in a player for player deal, are you serious? That was never gonna happen. We would've had to give them Minshew and something else to get Ertz. Ertz is a much more valuable player than Minshew is. I liked Minshew as a person. He was a fun guy to root for, but he was never gonna win the backup job with the way he had been playing.

Look at the bright side. Jalen Hurts is a running QB. Running QB's take a lot of hits, which leads to injuries. There is a very good chance Minshew could play 50% of the snaps in 3 games this year. That would equal a 5th round pick, which is way more than I ever thought we'd get. I thought we'd be lucky to get a conditional 7th round pick for a noodle armed QB who has regressed in his play. Considering we got "hosed" on the Schobert deal, I consider this one a win. I wish Minshew luck. He's a fun guy. Maybe their coaching staff can get something out of him that ours couldn't.
