Gardner Minshew as a possible Pats QB?

[oldrover]

Saw this Reddit thread about him...



Obviously he's not in the Jags plans, and he had some good games before he got injured. Plus he's young, and would probably be cheap.

Good God No!

I’d personally rather give Cam a chance since both suck.

 

[PatsWSB47]

Too inconsistant

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Seems like a good backup/bridge guy...maybe could have a Fitzpatrick type of career since all his teammates like him and he’s a good leader with competent skills. But not enough talent to hitch your wagon to.

I think signing Minshew, drafting Waddle with #15 and then trading up to also draft Mac Jones would be an awesome setup.

He’s fun to watch, but you’ll go 7-9, 8-8, etc. and certainly won’t win a championship with him. Like @PatsWSB47 said, very inconsistent player who will make the season interesting each year with a good game here and there but won’t ever be an elite player.

Still amazed Jacksonville bailed on Foles before he ever really got started and quickly hitched their wagon to Minshew...it’s crazy. Had they not gotten the #1 pick, their future would have seemingly remained pretty awful. Although, they’ll probably still mess it up

I don't think Cam to Minshew is really enough of an upgrade to make it worth bringing him in.

What about Darnold?

He might be cheaper?

He is lightyears better than Cam.

Doesn’t say much.

No one sucks worse than cam

 

[Jim Beankie]

He's got a 42 on the Wonderlic, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

The #1 pick isn’t saving them.

I would be fine with him as a bridge QB. Reaching in the draft makes no sense given all the holes we have. And a veteran doesn't mke a lot of sense given that this offense is in shambles and will take years to rebuild into a SuperBowl caliber offense. Besides, why would a QB want to come to a team with no offensive weapons outside of Harris, Meyers and 35 year old Edleman?

No. We think Gardner might blow. We know - to the point of metaphysical certainty - that Cam blows. There will be a lot of fully justified anger around here if they waste another moment on Cam. And please don't waste my time rattling on about how f----g charming he is, or how much you like his f---g hats. I couldn't care less: we're looking for a quarterback. Besides you can always cultivate a man crush on Gardner if you must. Regarding him, I think we can do better. Cam? We couldn't possibly do worse.

Lol true

4 important questions must be answered before Bill signs off

1) Is he cheap
2) Will he publicly state that Bill has a direct line to the Almighty
3) Can he absorb the bulk of the playbook quickly....QB sneak left, QB sneak right, QB sneak up the middle
4) Does he require WRs and TEs

 

[Hyped]

Doesn't move the needle for me...but if it's between him and Stiddy....OK then....(shrugs)

Stidham got a 26 - might explain taking a little longer to learn the playbook?
