Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Big Ben, Russ Wilson, Lamar Jackson and some others have it too. They are infectious players that raise the level of play of other guys around them.

When Minshew took Foles job late in the year, it just seemed like the entire team played harder and wanted it more.

He doesn’t have to hire a guy name House to teach him how to throw. And he’s out there working. He is going to be a stud muffin this year. He’s getting all the starter reps in practice and he will have the keys to the city. I’m so excited about Chark and Shenault with a little bit of Westbrook here and there. And Fournette is poised to have his best year. Eifert and Oliver at TE. Thompson in open space.

I hope teams under estimate our offense bc they will look at the scoreboard and all of a sudden BANG we’re hanging 38 points on them.

So excited for Henderson, Allen, Jack, Joe, Yan, Hamilton and Scott. Our defense is going to make the other teams earn it.

Keep up the work ethic Minshew Mania!

I love your optimism about Minshew and the team in general. Barring significant injuries, Minshew will eventually lead the Jaguars to their first Super Bowl. As you said, he just has that "it" factor which separates successful quarterbacks from those who never succeed at the NFL level. His intelligence, leadership, work ethic and competitive drive are off the charts. His arm strength may not be elite, but he can make all the necessary throws to succeed. 

The 2020-21 season will be a very difficult one for the Jaguars. Despite my optimism about Minshew, the Jags will enter the season with the youngest and most inexperienced team in the league. Most likely, training camp will be shortened which will hinder the adjustment of the rookies. Gruden will not have as much time to teach his offensive scheme. However, I do expect that by mid-season we will begin seeing signs that the future (beginning in 2021-22) will be very bright. Henderson, Chaisson and Shennault are unique talents who will thrive after the typical rookie "growing pains." Add in two top 10 draft choices (the Rams will be awful),and a very favorable salary cap situation (Fournette, Norwell, Hayden and Cam Robinson are likely to be replaced after the season) and the arrow should be pointing straight up. If Yannick has a good season, you can add in a 3rd first rounder which would make things even better.
