I'd rather have an 8-8 season where Minshew shows improvement over hoping to suck so bad we hitch our hopes and dreams to another young QB who could just as easily BUST in the same way guys like Mariota and Winston have.

SMH at anyone saying 2020 season is a lost cause and we should hope for first overall pick to jump on the Trevor Lawrence bandwagon.
Disgusting.

I’m not saying I want a bad season. Not in the slightest. I would love to see Minshew take a big step forward and this team go 8-8 with the rookies playing big roles.

However there’s a reason why the Jags have the lowest projected win total for next season. I’m just expecting the worst and hoping for the best really. Typical season lol

I hear ya...
But I've seen it in a lot of MBs and comment sections from a lot of Jag fans.
Already ready to Tank for Trevor. Like he's some can't miss prospect. When in reality any young QB coming from college to the NFL to a bad team, isn't can't miss. I mean, Luck was undeniably a good QB and only took the clots so far. Mariota and Winston both busted on their teams as #1 and #2 overall picks.
More recently Jackson has had his share of problems, especially his rookie season... Mahomes sat his rookie year, but no one was lauding him as a can't miss first overall pick in his draft. Watson has been really good too but hasn't put his team over the hump to actually win anything of merit.

I just think it's myopic for fans to think, "well if we stink, we'll get QB 'x' and he'll save our franchise"
Irks my nerves a bit. Especially when there is more evidence that a QB won't save the day. Goff, Winston, Mariota, Mayfield, the list goes on an on. The better QBs have often been not #1 overall selections, end up on not completely terrible teams, and usually have solid coaches.
It takes more than just a hyped up QB.
