Better coached all around team. Jalen has "carried" this team to a lot of wins ... he's the reason this Offensive system thrives. Gardner Minshew is just a dude ... every now and then the stars will align for him to have a solid game, but most of the time he'll thrive at inconsistency. Without Jalen this is a .500 or so team.

Dalton 18-22, Hill 2-2. Let's not get too excited because we picked up a few sacks against one of the NFL's worst offenses. One of their drives stalled because of a dropped pass, not a defensive play. The offense was worse, but the defense set the tone at the beginning of the game and allowed Hill to drag them 5-7 yards after contact (while some defenders stood there watching) every run to close out the game.

EazyEaglez Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Not sure why people are giving the "can’t blame Minshew” take. This guy was supposed to be the passer this team needed to be successful right? That was the take before this season started. He didn’t do the job today on so many levels. He was bad. Nobody was complaining they didn’t run enough last year when he beat the Jets. Let’s call it like we see it. Minshew was a disappointment especially when you consider people were calling this guy one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the league. That means he’s a starter in this league. Well he sure didn’t look like one yesterday. On top of that he’s basically had two weeks of practice. He’s gotta play better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe Minshew is one of the better backups in this league and that he can play better than he has played in the last 2 games. I have to wonder how much he's really dealing with the Mike Leach passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vs the Jets last year, 36 running back carries to 25 Minshew passes. That is exactly what the game plan should have been yesterday. Instead, 32 passes against the #2 pass defense and 14 runs against the #23 run defense. 2. Yes, he played poorly, but the coaching was worse than his play.

Which means they will force things. And we’ve all seen what happens with this coaching staff under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Another thing I will point out, for all this is it Hurts or is it the system discussion, it is quite clear Sirianni and Steichen believe it is their system. Why else would Minshew pass 72 times to 39 RB carries in his two starts. Saints #3 pass defense, Cowboys #9 pass defense. Saints #5 in sacks, Cowboys #3 in sacks. Saints #22 run defense, Cowboys #21 run defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaff Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I’m not here to criticize Minshew. I think he can be a solid back up. But it’s kinda lame when a person who has been critical of our MVP QB all season is suddenly full of excuses for Minshew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolg Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Minshew was bad. The coaches were bad. The entire offense was bad for most of the game. They called plays as if Hurts and Lane Johnson were out there. Minshew has to do better, even if the gameplan was crap. He looked lost. It looked like the whole offense gave up for stretches of the game. Hurts is at least steady when running the offense. He doesn't let the moment dictate how he's going to play. If things are bad, he goes out next series, rallies the guys and tries again. I hope he's good to play against the Giants. They need him back badly.

They need him back badly. The last two games I think have shown he is the MVP. He's so important to this team, what they do and how they do. He's not just playing at a very high level but he's the leader of this team and he sets the tempo. Without him this team looks a little lost. But that's OK because he's going to come back.

Honestly the last few games have made me question Siri/Shane going forward, It is clear that Hurts' MVP play was masking their ineptitude. Shane is likely gone next year, so I hope Brian is better at game planning and play-calling. Siri is a CEO HC, he's good for motivational speeches and operations but he's not in the upper echelon of offensive coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
