Gardner Minshew

This is the dark horse QB option I would like to bring in. Similar stats to Teddy last year just like five less INT’s. Same number of TD’s in less games. He’ll actually push the ball down the field and has a bit of athleticism to make plays off platform. Honestly there are QB’s far worse than Minshew that have starting gigs - and he’s about to be relegated to #2 as Jacksonville gets Trevor. 
 

I’m not saying he’s the long term answer, but he’s without a doubt better, more exciting, and cheaper than Teddy. I’d offer a fourth and maybe even a third, tbh.

I just mentioned in the Wofford thread, that Minshew would be a legitimate option to unseat Teddy in a competition to lead the team, but it's far from a guarantee! Still, I'd give up a fourth for Minshew just to have some flexibility and hope. He may just provide the best value considering other options, and this isn't the first time I've discussed him as perhaps our best practical possibility!

If we could find a trade partner for Teddy, then bring Minshew in I would be fairly happy. I believe Minshew at worst is equal to Teddy. The cap space created may give us a chance at signing a couple more free agents. If we are able to draft a QB, then Minshew is a better/cheaper option as a backup going forward.

He's a very affordable backup who has proven he's more than capable of starting in the NFL. Those guys are gold dust. 

If you are drafting Lawrence, just go all in to build talent around him. If you can get a third rounder for him you can likely grab a guy who can develop into a year 2 or 3 starter.

My guess, the Jaguars just signed CJ Beathard to be their backup. Sign the free agent to replace Minshew, get a pick for Minshew. Another pick to build the team

Fair point, but I’m sure he feels like he should have a chance to start somewhere. His rookie deal has to be up soon, right? Jags might take a mid round pick for him because once he’s an FA he’ll sign somewhere that gives him a chance to start. Jags could of course look at it as a chance to gain an asset to build around Trevor.

Because they need all the picks they can get, and really have no need for Minshew, as they signed C.J. Beathard to realistically be the backup.

Why not just sign Alex smith and keep the draft picks? maybe we can get a good QB in the next few years? I think Alex smith could last a good 3-5 years in today’s NFL.  We can win with him if he can stay healthy. You can find franchise QBs in the mid-late first round pretty often.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
