Magnifico Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) So with the Bye next week looks like Doug Marrone has a decision to make about the starting QB in Jacksonville. 9th in the AFC. They're two and a half games off the division lead. Been swept by the Texans but have the Colts and Titans after the Bye. Would you roll forward with Minshew Magic/Mania? Or given the money paid in the off-season and if your one of those "you can't lose the starting job to injury" individuals do you re-insert Foles back into the starting line-up? After all he was the starter heading into the season. Jaguars OL play hasn't been spectacular this season and the weapons are average at best irrespective of QB. Minshew Stats (if incorrect blame ESPN) Comp %: 61.2% Yds: 2,285 Y/A: 7.4 TD: 13 INT: 4 QBRate: 92.8 Carries: 42 Yds: 235 Fum: 3 (2 Lost) Edited November 4, 2019 by Magnifico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Jaguars should go with Foles if they plan on keeping Doug. If not go with the Rookie and finish out the season and find out which one the new head coach chooses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Minshew worst performance came at the worst possible time. I’d be shocked if Foles doesn’t start against the Colts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger murdock Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 They can make the playoffs. Start Foles. Hes a winner. Minshew showed a lot of promise and did his job keeping the team afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Minshew. Foles isn’t a long term answer and even if Minshew isn’t, he at least presents that potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingandre Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Foles has earned the right to play. See what you have in him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It’s not like Nick will be 100%. Didn’t Rodgers try to rush back from a clavicle and he just didn’t have it? Seems like it’d limit a QB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 You have to know what you have in Minshew. Ride it out with him, and see if he's a flash in the pan or the real deal. Foles isn't the future. If Minshew is just a flash in the pan, the Jaguars still need to figure out their QB situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Why would you not stick with Minshew? You gotta know if you need a QB or not, Minshew is the only potential long term option on the roster, you go with the young guy every time.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Stick with Minshew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Minshew has 11 fumbles, not 3. He did well when playing the Jets, Titans, Broncos, and Bengals. (4-0) He was a joke 2x vs Houston and vs New Orleans. What’s a Super Bowl MVP compared to that? People just get stupid when Foles is involved for some reason.

Tugboat Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think it's gotta be Foles. A week ago, i don't think you could've made the switch without backlash. But coming off that London game where Minshew struggled, it opened the door to do the reasonable thing. You turn the ship over to Foles after the bye. If Minshew is half the QB and teammate he's cracked up to be, he'll understand and once again...take it in stride, just as he has everything else in his now infamously circuitous career. You take a look at what this team can do with Foles at the helm...and if it sucks, you pull the plug and go back to the Moustache. If it's not really any better and you basically get a toss-up of performance between them after a couple weeks and the team is still trending toward non-playoffs...you pull the plug and go back to taking an extended look at Minshew, while figuring out what on earth to do with Foles and his salary/dead money next year. It's a weird case where...if you don't go back to Foles and give him his shot now...when are you ever going to? If you don't make the change now...are you going to just close the book on Foles completely without even really seeing him play? Plus...at the end of the day, as amazing as it's been to watch Minshew step in and play the way he has in really tough circumstances...there's still a fear there that he's just an extremely endearing form of QB purgatory. I think reasonably...you can always go back to Minshew if Foles doesn't work out. But if you continue to stick with Mishew when Foles is healthy...you're sealing one or the other's fate. Either Foles never gets a shot. Or Minshew rides until he can't no more...and stumbles to the point he's clearly not the future answer, and going to Foles at that point would be beyond awkward so you're QB desperate again. I also think that coming off an offensive performance like that London game...the Jaguars need a spark. They've rallied incredibly behind Minshew, but the magic may be wearing a bit thin at this point. Foles somehow kickstarting the team again is a total hail mary, and probably won't work...but it's the best play they've got. And if it fails? Well hey...in rides Minshew to save the day again! Fire up the rallying cry and the Mississippi Moustache song and the bigtime underdog theme and all the rest, all over again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJets4716 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It's not impressive to throw all over the jets. We have no edge rush nor cbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
