Also, how much did Minshew learn yesterday in those 3 hours watching Foles throw into double coverage? Was it helpful for him?

I don't see Minshew sitting out these games as wasteful. 

*We'll be lucky to win more than 2 of them at this rate regardless of whether he plays or not 

*he'd be playing for a lame duck staff and have to learn a new system next summer anyway

*and I absolutely do believe he will continue to learn every day as a backup. Even on Sundays when the starter plays poorly. Why this age old concept of rookies learning as back-ups seemingly just goes out the window for certain Jags fans when talking about Minshew is a complete mystery to me. It's tried and true methodology.

Wasn't the whole argument for playing Foles, was because he was supposed to give us the best chance to win games? If that's not the case and we're just going to lose games regardless, what's the point in playing him? Why not play the rookie so he can continue to get experience?

He's going to have to learn a new system next year regardless of whether he plays or not. That shouldn't have anything to do with this current situation.

Foles was nothing more than a stop gap to begin with. He's certainly not the future, that's for sure. Maybe Minshew can be the future? We can't find that out with him sitting on the bench. Plus him playing out the rest of the season would put out more game tape for the new staff to evaluate in this coming off season. They're going to have to make a decision on whether to roll with Minshew, or make QB a high priority in the draft.
