Minshew Mania is Back!

During Jacksonville's bye week, there were rumblings that Gardner Minshew could regain his starting job that he lost this last off-season. It is now confirmed Gardner Minshew will start next week against the San Francisco 49ers. "Mitch did a serviceable job for this football team. He just seemed to miss too many short to intermediate throws each and every game. There were even some easy 6s that he has missed this season. Gardner is more accurate at each level of the field than Mitch. Mitch has the slightly stronger arm and is more athletic, however, the offense has not operated under the need of an athletic QB. I think Gardner gives this offense a better chance to succeed moving forward." Coach Conklin was recorded saying this after today's practice. I can't confirm nor deny the choice of QB is going to help or hurt this offense. Things could virtually look the same as they have for the first 7 games of the season. It will be interesting to see if Gardner can play well enough to go into next season with a chance to start again. It is no secret that Jacksonville covets a QB and OL in the upcoming draft. Lets see if Gardner can force the Coach to make a selection to protect him rather than replace him.......again.
