There’s nothing you can gain from riding the bench that you can’t gain from playing. What is Minshew gaining for those 3 hours on game day where Foles is playing? Basically all week is about film and preparation regardless if you’re the starter or not. But when Minshew is holding the clipboard, he’s not able to see first hand what types of blitzes are coming at him in real speed.

Once it was clear the moment was never too big for Minshew, it should have been time to move on from Foles. Foles isn’t the long term answer here but Minshew just may be.

Absolutely correct.

The only instance when playtime is a bad thing for a QB is when they're weak mentally. Minshew is about as confident and determined as they come. 

We gain nothing from this in the long-term.

At first I agreed with you guys, but you know, none of us are NFL pros. I would imagine there are a ton of logistics behind the scenes and it’s probably hard to learn some of them running for your life. He can watch how plays unfold and are executed with a seasoned vet. The fact that he is so smart means he can benefit quite a lot. The kid hasn’t had one game to watch a starter in the system he’s playing in.
