Yes it is.  It was an RPO (run, pass, option).  Minshew could have faked the run and went himself, could have faked the run and threw or could have handed it off.  He chose option #3.  The design was based on how the defense lined up.  He chose his option based on that.

I like the rookie QB as much as everyone else, but the play call and how it ended up is not really on the coaches/coordinator.

At the end of the day the right plays were called and it was up to the QB to decide what to execute.  Unfortunately he made the wrong decision based on the replays that I have watched.

My point is that so many people are saying "wrong play called" and "should have put it in Minshew's hands" when that is exactly what they did.  The kid is learning and did his best.
