My main concern is that when/if we see minshew again, he won’t be as good. I just think he absolutely played too well to not be starting next week. Rookie of the week 7 times?? 14-4 TD INT? He’s easily looked like the best QB we’ve had since #8.

I have worried too that Minshew could come back and not look as good but it could very easily go the route of Bledsoe being replaced by Romo. 
Preseason 2006, Tony Romo showed a lot of flashes and was finally inserted at half time of a regular season game because he made the offensive line look better than statue Bledsoe did. 
I could see a similar situation with the Jags. I hate it because it’s robbing Minshew of a ROTY campaign and a fun second half of the season. 
As a Dallas fan, I see a lot of Romo in Minshew and I can tell you, Romo would not have been near the player he was(5th highest rated qb all time) had he not sat for 3 seasons (of course Sean Payton helped developed him too). Now Minshew from Washington State is MUCH farther along than Romo from Eastern Illinois was.
