I hope they shut him down and prove me wrong.
I'm just not comfortable with this group as is.
To be fair, we prepared for Nick Foles, not his backup. Schemes and plays switch when the new guy takes over to compliment his skillset. I think what the defense did against Derek Carr is what we can expect on a good defensive day. Not to mention, 275 and 2 TD's isn't really alot nowadays, I think if you're a QB and you didn't get 300 yards, your either Joe Flacco or you had a bad day. [Reply]

Even if they don’t get him, we’ll have a decent defense to compete with the Pats.
I know it doesn’t seem like it, but overall we’re much much better compared to last year. And remember, we almost beat them w/o a defense.
I have more hope today considering I don't see how the fuck Antonio Brown lasts the entire season after the latest debacle...what a nutcase and moron that guy is. [Reply]

True about schemes etc... But 275 and 2 TD's is having a bad day? It's good to get you 4400 yards and 32 TD's. That's good these days or any other day - especially for a rookie. :-) [Reply]

He sent out text messages to one of his accusers asking his goons to look into her and her children's private lives and posted pics of her kids. She sent that into the NFL and requested that the NFL step in and stop AB from harassing her. [Reply]

Fun fact: Minshew has the highest passer rating through three games of any rookie QB in NFL history. [Reply]

His agent could also simply tell them he's not going to play, and is fine being fined for sitting out.
They may want to keep him. They may also have little choice.
What if he’s only really pissed at the FO because they haven’t paid him yet? [Reply]

He checks down quite a bit.
I mean, after our week 1 game i said that i thought Minshew would be a good QB. He has the command, accuracy and nuts to be a QB in this league. But it's getting a wee-bit overblown at this point. [Reply]

Yeah this is also true. He doesn't have a huge arm. But it's not indicative that our defense is some horror train because he completed a bunch of passes in an air raid offense. [Reply]
