The rule is that more often than not, teams that are taking a QB early are doing so for a reason.

I am not dumping on Minshew; But from the owner on down, every statement this offseason has been that what we've had wasn't enough. It was time to reset, be new, improve. I'm saying that in order for Minshew starting over TLaw in week one to be plausible, TLaw is going to either have to be hurt or terribly unprepared for the job.

Teams are taking a  QB early  for a reason but it doesnt mean you have to start them week 1.  Are tou saying Mahomes, Mayfield, Tua etc. were just unprepared for the job?

By all accounts, they were less prepared than Lawrence is/will be. 

It just comes down to which player the coach thinks gives the team the best chance to win. 

Based on what I've seen from Minshew the past two years, if Minshew wins the start, then hundreds of talent evaluators and sports analysts all REALLY screwed up on their assessment of Trevor Lawrence in concert with one another.
