You may be right but at this point, we know what Watson is and it's hard to say where Minshew's ceiling is. Worst case would be that he's already reached it but does anyone really believe that?

I think we'll really know what we have in Minshew within the first 4 games of the season.
With the shortened (or non existent) off season programs, how much does he improve and can he come out of the gate firing on all cylinders.

I know our schedule is "softer" on the front end, but if he comes out and plays well early and especially if we're winning games we'll be able to tell if he's "the real deal".
If he falters early and often, we'll probably be able to look toward the draft early (per the usual) and start figuring out if its Fields or Lawrence (hopefully there's a college season, and for now it seems there will be outside of maybe the PAC12 and a few other schools)
