Step away from the draft position for a minute and consider what it means to the mid-tier guys when they realize the upper tier players have to compete just like they do. Everyone knows Lawrence will end up winning but you don't abandon your process just because it will play out that way.

And before you ask, yes if Lawrence somehow stunk it up in preseason and Minshew suddenly became Tom Brady,, I absolutely would start Minshew at the beginning of the season. You play the guys who are playing the best.

Someone said the competition is already over. Fair enough, that's their opinion but the coaching staff apparently thinks differently.

I'm fine with this line of thinking, but Trevor has outplayed Minshew--it's not even close.

I haven't seen practice but what I've heard is that Minshew looked better early and Lawrence has since surpassed him. What I *have* seen is the preseason game and Lawrence looked good for the most part although he held the ball to long and Minshew looked a little outclassed but I wouldn't categorize the difference as not even close. I think Meyer will probably name Lawrence the starter some time this week though. Let the process play out.
