True but neither are Tom Brady or Drew Brees particularly gifted physically. I'll be interested to see how he ultimately fits into the team's future. A new regime is likely going to want to being in their own QB.

Agreed.  But you are comparing Minshew to two Hall of Famers with PhD's in football decision-making and have always been extremely accurate with their throws not only with short and intermediate routes, but also downfield.  I don't see Minshew's accuracy downfield, but he seems OK short and intermediate.  And you are asking a lot of Mishew to get to that level of decision-making.  Is it possible?  Sure.  But probable?  Not likely.  Definitely interesting to watch his development the rest of the season though.
