Tugboat Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Writing was on the wall after they drafted Minshew basically. But that was the part that didn't make a lot of sense to me. He's basically a younger, developing version of Kessler. Who we still had around on a cheap contract. I mean, Kessler demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt really, that he's not a guy you can win with. He's one of those, "could do worse for a backup"...but if you ever have to actually play them...you wish you'd spent just a little bit more on a backup who can play. But i'd thought that was fairly evident when they went out and traded for him in the first place. That's why he was available for peanuts. I guess they're hoping Minshew is enough of an upgrade somewhere, somehow to give us more insurance at the spot. But really, if Foles doesn't play well/stay healthy/etc. this season's probably another writeoff anyway. Presumably Tanner Lee will be back on the PS, which Kessler isn't eligible for anymore, right?

ArcticNorseman Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Congrats on drafting and signing Garnder Minshew. I have to admit I'm a long-time Vikings fan, 45+ years, but as I've grown up, I've always found a few college players I love to watch go into the NFL and prove their worth. Most of the time, I'm just cheering to see a SoDak State Jackrabbit make a team. However, in the early '90s I got stationed at Fairchild AFB, WA, so the WAZZU Cougs became a favorite, and now my wife is a crimson and gray bleeding, screaming fan. She's also one heck of a pessimist when it comes to Cougin it, and understanding the game is not a strength of hers. So, last year as we watched the Cougs weekly, I watched Minshew. I'm probably not the best at predicting things, but he's not Tim Tebow with a noodle arm. Minshew had good receivers and a spread formation and he bought time, looked defenders off, made tight throws. Nope, I didn't see a rocket-fired blistering fastball . . . I saw timing and touch mostly, but every once in a while he'd letter rip. Across the country, people may say the Pac 12 was weak . . . the guy did amazing things as a leader and as a guy that put his team in position to score points. If he's ever given the chance, I hope the Stache' slings it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
