So can you say with 100% commitment that Minshew is a better QB than Tua or Fromm? 

I love Minshew and I want to believe, but I can’t commit 100% after seeing the Texans with a [BLEEP] secondary shut Minshew down. Yes, he’s a rookie, but the Texans deployed the same method the Saints did and Minshew didn’t do any better against it than he did with the Saints. 

Now we may not find out if Minshew can do good if he’s schemed against until after the next draft. It’s a risk for a franchise in desperate need of a franchise QB to pass on 2020s QB class.

The trouble with drafting another QB next year is, you can only develop one QB at a time.  If you decide to draft a QB next year, you have to decide, which one is going to play, which one is going to get the reps in practice.  That's why, until we know that Minshew is not the QB of the future, it's a complete waste to draft another QB.  

Besides, from what I saw of Fromm, I wouldn't draft him in the first round.  He's inaccurate.  The Florida-Georgia game was such a great example of the difference between college and pro ball.  Those guys were terrible.  Bad passes, bad decisions, mistakes everywhere.  

And we have no shot at drafting Tua.

Do you seriously want to throw away the guy who won rookie of the week 6 of the first 8 weeks?  To draft another QB who would be a total crap shoot whether he's a decent starter or a bust?  You're crazy.

Absolutely not! I like what I have seen from Minshew, with the exception of his progress adapting to contain defensive pressure. 

Not crazy, paranoid. I am absolutely paranoid and feeding into some what if anxiety on this subject. I would say after decades of missing a franchise QB it is completely valid to be paranoid and anxious now. We have had absolutely horrible luck at the QB position. 

What if the last 8 weeks were flashes in the pan? I was personally looking for some form of adjustment from Minshew against the Texans and I didn’t see it. He seemed to be even worse than the saints game. That absolutely makes me paranoid. This is the NFL and you have to be able to make adjustments to different defenses. 

He could develop on the sideline and become an amazing franchise QB. He could always be just an amazing back up that always has limitations when defenses scheme containment. 

One thing for sure, we have to be able to beat teams like the Chiefs, Patriots, Texans, and Saints if we want to ever progress through the playoffs. 

Minshew has yet to beat a good team.
