Minshew maybe?

[trueblade]

I wouldn't give the Eagles more than a 5th or a future 4th for him.

I think in my gut that Minshew could be the next Delhome given a solid chance to play. Just my opinion.

They are very similar players in my opinion.

You never know...if we can solidify the Oline and have a decent running game (CMC stays vertical and with our 230 lb FA running back), he may just win us enough games to make the playoffs. Then all bets are off once you get in...anything can happen. 

 

 

Right. It's just who is going to evaluate Minshew. Rhule? Please no. It's possible Minshew could be the next Jake. I just don't want to make a move for him if we think he's a 6 or 7 win QB. We're not going to accomplish anything other than a few feel good wins and a draft pick in the teens.

Please, not a 4th this year. We are already hurting with a lack of picks. 5th or future 4th, maybe.

GARDNER MINSHEWQB, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

ESPN's David Newton believes Gardner Minshew could be "a possibility" for the Panthers. 

Carolina has swung and missed on every big-name quarterback looking for a change of scenery of the past couple offseasons, including Deshaun Watson, who eliminated the Panthers from his potential destinations this week. Minshew -- signed through the 2022 season with the Eagles -- could conceivably serve as competition for Sam Darnold, the team's presumed 2022 starter after striking out on Watson. Minshew was solid in two 2021 starts for Philadelphia, completing 68.6 percent of his passes and throwing four touchdowns to one interception. A volatile producer during his tenure in Jacksonville, Minshew would be a last-ditch option for the down-bad Panthers.

Come on with this lame insult, Newton.

I prefer the term "dumpster fire".

I actually don't hate too much about how we are building this off-season.  Maybe our dumpster is just smoking rather than fully on fire.

If they wanted Minshew than why didn’t they just get him from Jax last year instead of trading for Sam? He would have been significantly cheaper and no lost 2nd round pick.

Philadelphia Eagles: To trade or not to trade Gardner Minshew

by Matty Breisch 1 month ago

 

Gardner Minshew (probably) isn’t the Philadelphia Eagles‘ franchise quarterback.

 

I know, I know, talk about a hot take, but it’s true; Minshew is a 6-foot-1, unathletic game manager who does the vast majority of his damage within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage. Minshew will be 26 when the 2022 NFL season opens up and when his current contract expires next March, he will surely demand a whole lot more than $965,000 in compensation on a future deal.

 

In the right scheme, Minshew can be successful. With a good defense and a savvy head coach, Minshew could even lead a team to the playoffs, but it’s hard for most teams to justify building their entire scheme and thus staking their future on a quarterback who doesn’t do anything at an elite level.

 

If the Eagles retain Minshew heading into 2022, it’ll surely be as a one-year rental. He’ll play out the year – or won’t play, since he’s a backup quarterback – and look to the open market for a new opportunity in 2023. But on another team? One that believes itself “a quarterback away” from taking a vital step forward? Well, Minshew is an enticing trade chip, as he’s a cheap, young veteran with 22 starts under his belt and a galvanizing personality.

 

But if teams come calling, should the Philadelphia Eagles answer the phone? And if they do strike a deal, what options are on the table to replace “The Stache?” Let’s try to answer those questions.

 

Trading Gardner Minshew isn’t inherently a bad idea for the Philadelphia Eagles.

 

Having a fourth-year signal-caller backup one in his third year is weird.

 

Normally, when a team has a young quarterback, especially one who either needs more seasoning or could benefit from some competition, their front office will bring in a veteran signal-caller with a few successful stints on their resume to serve as both a mentor and rival, depending on how things are going.

 

In Joe Flacco, the Eagles had a perfect mentor, even though his successful days on the field are likely over. After developing a bit of a reputation for being hard to work with both in Baltimore and Denver, Flacco appears to have accepted where he falls in the NFL landscape and has been useful to both the Eagles’ and Jets’ quarterbacks room.

 

Minshew, by contrast, only has one more year of experience in the NFL than Jalen Hurts and thus only presents the rival part of the formula, not the mentor.

 

Simply put: If Gardner Minshew was a 21-year-old rookie sixth-round pick, that would be one thing, but when he’s a team’s 1B, it’s sort of a problem. If, by contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles can trade Minshew for a Day 3 pick and then use it on a developmental quarterback, it could be the move, but only if they secure the right backup quarterback.

The Panthers were blinded by the fact that Sam Darnold was a high rated #1 draft pick, while Gardner Minshew was a  sixth-round draft pick. Hind sight is 20/20, so we all know how this turned out.

I’d be interested in Minshew.

Rhule is obviously not going to tank because if he doesn’t make the playoffs then he’s gone.

Out of all the available options (Mayfield, Jimmy G, Love, Pickett, Corral, etc.), Minshew is the best option.

Trade: #Eagles have acquired QB Gardner Minshew from Jacksonville in exchange for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2022.
give them a fifth and call it a win-win

A fifth or 4th rounder(tops), next year. He has started 22 games in the NFL with pretty good numbers, he has the experience under his belt compared to a rookie who may crash and burn.  Jake D. 2.0.....which wouldn't be bad at all actually.

[Sgt Schultz]

It's not the worst idea ever.  Our QB depth chart after this season is/should be zero, unless we draft somebody (not at 6 please) or sign a low-cost FA.  Our 2023 starter is not on the roster.  Our 2023 backup had better not be in the roster.

If the Eagles are willing to settle for a day three pick, it is low cost at almost every angle.  Bring him in, then let Darnold and PJ ride into the sunset after this year and draft somebody next year.
