1. Nick Foles stays healthy and plays well over the coming weeks.

2.  Minshew develops like many of us suspect he's capable and is even more prepared to challenge Foles in 2020.

3. Sometime between July and October of 2020 another team offers us a really nice haul for Foles in trade and Minshew becomes the starter. We are then free of Foles salary and further bolstered with draft capital or talent.

Typical reasoned and wise words from NYC4jags and an excellent summary here. If we could trust the FO thinks like you, we'd all sleep better at night. I have a recurring negative thought that they will go full-steam idiot ahead and ship Minshew off though. Which would likely convert me to IndyBengalsFan after 24 years.

Well, I think anything is possible with this F.O. , but if Coughlin is still EVP in 2020 then Minshew is probably going to be groomed for another chance. Coughlin was effusive with praise for the kid after the combine interviews and I'd not be surprised if his season ending remarks echo that. Not very often a kid with his intangibles comes along that also has a solid grasp on x's and o's as a rookie. 

If they prematurely pay an underperforming LB like Jack and don't develop a guy like Minshew, I'll be livid. 

Thanks for the kind word, btw.
