Cousin,
Nice leisurely Saturday breakfast of a cheese omelette with crisp bacon (had to share some bacon pieces with my dogs and cat), pan toasted blueberry/raspberry bread, coffee and orange juice.
Some might giggle at the thought of a QB like Minshew. . Here are some facts.
1-He played for a crappy Team who won one game this year. Still had decent numbers. Double the TDs of Cam in less games.
2-He's only 24
3-He was a
6th round Draft pick.....Oh, the irony!!!!
4-He started only eight games (one more played) this year with a crap Team and had reasonable stats. He had 2259 yards, 6.9 yards per throw, 66.1% completion rate, 16 TDs versus 5 INT. and a 95.9 QB rating. Break that dowm to a 16 game schedule even with a terrible Jags Team and the kid throws for over
4,000 yards, his TDs would be almost 29 versus 8 INT,(would we take that here?) He actually had a better completion record than TB12 with all his star receivers (TB wa 65.7%)
5-His rookie year in 14 games 2019 season ... throwing for 21 TDs and 3,200 yards and winning some impressive games as a rookie.
6-He ran for his life and has 27 sacks in his 8 GS
7-He's got a log on his shoulder, not a chip
8-He is bigger than Brees, Murray, Tua, Hurts and Wilson at 6'1" and 225
9-He can run. In two years he has had almost 500 yards rushing
10-In only 23 starts he has had 4 game winning drives including beating the playoff bound Colts this year in the only game the Jags won.He threw for 3 TDs.
11-With Lawrence the pick an Urban Meyer's regime, I believe Minshew is tradable and Meyer will help buddy BB
12-He will be cheap against the CAP
13-Now Draft a rookie QB
14-He has a New England last name
15-TB was an untouchable. This kid you could have a beer with. His BFF hear might be JE.
16-He's got the IDGAF, cover of the Rolling Stone look unlike GQ Tom Brady. BB sons will probably like him. He has the " I wouldn't want him going out with my Daughter " vibe.
Minshew’s teammates love him. That Gardner Minshew you see in interviews and commercials is the same guy his teammates know on the field, in the locker room and when it’s game time.“He has the look, he has the swag,
he has the arm and he has the plays to make—to be who I consider a great quarterback in the NFL."
“There’s time to have some fun. He’s a fun guy to hang around with, he’s a funny guy, entertaining,” Jaguars offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said this week about working with Minshew. “But for the most part,
when it’s business, it’s business and he takes good notes, he studies the game, he spits out the plays in the huddle, which quarterbacks have to do It’s exciting to work with him because guys that are aware of how necessary it is to prepare and the guys that do prepare, it’s fun to watch them and develop.”
Didn’t it make you laugh when at the Super Bowl last year, Minshew said on radio row, “It's been great, I think I kinda found my people in Jacksonville you know, just the right amount of white-trashiness for me," he said. "So we're having a great time down there and lovin' it."
Clearly he’s not taking himself too seriously and neither do we.
Just this week NFL analyst Nate Burleson said, “I want to be in the huddle with this guy. Heck, I want to be in a street fight with this guy.”
Gardner Minshew
has been counted out over & over again. BUT he has traits you can’t measure & 1 of them is a work ethic that is relentless (FAMILIAR?).
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MOVE THAT MAKES SENSE.
Now...real quick.....Pick one: Mariota, Trubisky , Winston, Cam or this guy? (Jimme G and Watson are not happening. Big Ben might be too complicated)
Uncle Rico to the Pats
Thoughts?
