The goal is the win games and Minshew does not give the team a better chance at winning than Lawrence. Completely understandable reaction.
But if you expressed that on the board, how would it be distinguished from a meltdown, especially if most other posters express similar sentiments?
meltdown is in the eye of the beholder. Some folks attribute skepticism as lack of fandom or inability to demonstrate patience. Others profess they will not visit a discussion board while a player or coach remains employed by the team. Are these meltdowns?

The idea of not starting a first round draft choice isn't something most people would have patience with. The overriding idea seems to be: if he wasn't ready to start, he shouldn't have been drafted that high. Whether not that's true is debatable. While I’m not for starting a rookie just to start them, I really can’t see a scenario where Minshew is better than Lawrence week 1.
Luckily, I don’t think we have to worry about that. Lawrence will be the man week 1, throw for 300 and 3 scores against the poor Texans D while leading the Jags to a week 1 win.
Barring injury, of course (speaking of meltdowns...) I would have to agree. Minshew/Beathard's preseasons are both to win the backup role and showcase their ability for a potential trade.

Tebow?
A suppose a "complete meltdown" would probably be caused by the overall record. 1-4 type stuff... And nothing and no one will be safe from the mob squad of pitchforks. Urban Meyer out of his element... Tebow taking up a roster spot... Not enough moves done to fix the OL everyone cries about (seemingly) every year.
I actually have fairly high hopes of this team and don't expect to be that bad this season.
I just like to poke fun at the nancys on this board. And given the time of year (and my recent move to BFE Missouri) I don't get on here much anymore. So when I do pop in it'll probably only be to stir up some silliness... September can't come soon enough my man! Good luck with the move.
I think all of those would be a spark that would trigger a meltdown. I would add any development with Tebow.

If TL is taking hits due to OL protection issues - I can see folks losing it given the general complacency with OL personnel additions this off-season.
I don’t necessarily think this is going to happen, but it wouldn’t shock me.
I would add Etienne allowing a crucial sack in pass protection or if he has a big fumble-especially early in the season-might set some off, considering he seemed to be the most controversial pick.
Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
