Minshew can use his legs so he does offer something that AOC can offer. Best case he's a highly paid back up QB because they were able to trade up. Worse case hes your starter. This is exactly what I'm seeing as well. May be our starter if we can't make a move, but doesn't leave us in a position that we HAVE to make a move to the detriment of our team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'm hoping all the GTD money is in year 1. Then this looks a hell of a lot better. I still want to draft a guy but idk why not roll with AOC+rookie unless you're SURE you can't move up for the right rook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 He's a notch above O'Connell. 1st round pick looking like CB, LB, or OG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both options are underwhelming Exactly where my head is at as well. If this move allows us to go BPA, great. No more reaching for needs. Minshew won't take us all the way though. Not sure why anyone would think differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'm ok with this. Always liked Minshew as a player - he's obviously limited which is why he's not a true starter in the league, but he does a lot of things well. He's 100% an upgrade on AOC, and this signing is an insurance policy in case we can't get to where we need to be in the draft/the right QB doesn't fall to us. it doesn't rule out taking a QB. In particular I think if McCarthy is in range at any point then we have to try and make that move, and then you can sit him behind Minshew for a couple of years to develop. But absolute worst case we've got an upgrade at the QB position who will keep us competitive, and can then try again next year to swing a big name.

SilverNBlackFan Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 2 years 25 hope this is not the bandaid that AP was saying he was looking to avoid this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilshark69 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Obviously I've been in favor of this move, not a steal deal but the market is what it is. And yes, I believe he's a better option than AOC, and it doesn't mean we can't go after a qb in the draft, it does however make it easier to not overpay in either trade up scenario (beginning or end of rnd 1) we had to move quick I'll bet cuz I'll bet we weren't the only team calling his agent.

jpaulthe1st Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Yet another in a long line of uninspiring decisions at QB. He’s about #26-29 in the NFL as a starting QB and is barely better than a 2nd year AOC with a full offseason. Hate it and would much rather have signed Brissett for $6-8/year if this is the direction we decided to go Edited March 11 by jpaulthe1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy408 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The best part about this signing is that a creates a pretty good benchmark for whether or not the rookie is ready to play or if Aiden improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardner the same tier as Brissett as you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
