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.

It's not even that they were during garbage time, he just had a unique skill set that the league wasn't ready for. He is legit good at hitting a spot downfield. He has no chance of seeing a WR streaking open downfield and hitting that receiver in stride, but if you tell him presnap to throw a back shoulder sideline ball 30 yards downfield he is very good at that. We stole a few games in his rookie year doing that before teams, particularly that Saints game, said nope we're not giving you the sideline timing routes...and ever since then he has been a non NFL caliber QB.
