I can see a situation similiar to Bledsoe/Brady, Romo/Prescott here. I saw 6/7 WSU games last season, trust me Minshew can play. I have no problems seeing him taking Foles job away, just think Matt Flynn/Russell Wilson.
It's too early in the season to get excited about any of these guys. I have heard everyone sucking off Minshew and Lamar Jackson this week and it's driving me nuts. Does anyone not remember how awesome RGIII looked in his first few starts? Or how about Fitz"magic" last year? Yeah, Mahomes came out hot last year and turned out to be for real, but that doesn't mean that Jackson and Minshew will be. Maybe they will. But I seriously doubt it(especially witb Jackson). It's funny how all of the media kept saying that Mahomes wasn't going to be able to keep doing what he was doing just last year, yet now everyone is swinging on the jocks of these guys after 1 good game.

Sucking off? Come on man.
Ron Dayne was a monster at Wisconsin he dragged wanna tacklers to a Heisman trophy. In the NFL.....bust!
Clem Daneils was a converted cornerback out of Prairie View...and...the first 1000 yard rusher for the Raiders.
So we obviously never know what will happen down the road, but........what we do is Minshew was actually "great" at WSU and the first time we see him in the NFL he completes how many in a row, and looked good doing it.
Will he be the next Aaron Rodgers.....nope! But can he start in the NFL...??? [Reply]
He played with a lot of poise, showed toughness and accuracy. It appears his mental clock is fast. These are attributes that good NFL QB's have. Will he be a good NFL QB? Too early to tell, but he's got material to work with. [Reply]

In preseason his mental clock was slow as molasses. It seems the game has slowed down for him. But I'm not holding my breath. [Reply]
Minshew must of gotten better real quick. In the preseason Foles didn't play, I watched the game against the Ravens. Minshew played almost the whole game. Final score Ravens 29, Jags 0 Mishew 7 of 14 for 46 yards, he didn't impress too many. Of course it's hard to play good when you're under constant pressure.
Tonight is the night the world meets Gardner Minshew. All he did in his first two games was have the highest passer rating in a rookies first two games since way way back in the day.

While here....
I knew Lamar Jackson ran some HS track, and when I found he had a 11.4 100m PR I thought I had the wrong Lamar Jackson, HS girls can run faster than that. I ran faster than that (10.65) [Reply]
