IF we're in position to draft a franchise changing QB, we will. 

Minshew played great against bad teams and not so great against better teams. There isn't much else we need to draw from that. It isn't about what he's learning on Sunday it's about what he'll do in the off season to get better.
I'm not trying to put Foles up on a high horse at all... just trying to bring the mania back down to a simmer. It was fun, but he didn't play as well as some people think. 
And my entire point is, putting him on the bench isn't going to hinder him from developing. He isn't a first rounder. We don't have to start him.

People might wanna get used to the idea of Foles (if healthy) being our starting QB... for 2020. He wasn't signed as a one year stop gap.
And Minshew really didn't play so out of his mind that you HAVE to move on from Foles. Especially if he plays well the next few weeks.

Our upcoming draft (2020) should be used to build up the team around the QB position. OL, DB, TE, LB, NT
QB won't be readdressed until 2021. And banging the table about starting Minshew is why people may think you're all in your feelings about it. It just ain't happening my dude. It's Foles for now. Minshew maybe later.

We already drafted a franchise changing quarterback and we dont know how to handle it. And now we're benching him in favor of a guy who isn't the future.

It's a reach to say Minshew is a franchise changing quarterback.

I think the team is handling it just fine. Had Minshew been balling so hard and winning, I would see the angst. But he wasn't playing that well, whether due to injury or teams scheming him up, or whatever.

If Foles completely [BLEEP] the bed you guys might have a gripe. But I honestly don't see that happening.
