EazyEaglez Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Certainly understanding that well this was the Jets and there were a lot of check down throws and screens, Minshew did his thing today. He also made plays by moving in the pocket and extending drives and allowing his receivers to get open. Also limiting the amount of throws to Reagor is always a plus. Despite all the good throws Minshew made today what impressed me most actually was his willingness to give up on a bad screen to play another down. No hero ball trying to make something out of nothing, just throw the darn ball at the feet of the back or Reagor and play another down. It was smart and efficient football from the quarterback today. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infam Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He had a very solid game especially in the first half against a really bad team that was not prepared at all. Very glad we have a good backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He found the open guy regularly and made good throws. Threw it away when needed. Solid effort all around. By the second half they pretty much just needed to run it. Minshew had a good game for sure. Nice to see all those completed passes in the first half when the game was close. The offense was enjoyable to watch today, particularly fist half. The D was the opposite. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Guinness Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Yes, it was vs the lowly Jets, who admitted they practiced to face Hurts instead of Minshew. However, Minshew also only had full reps with the 1s for the latter half of the week as it was reported they were splitting reps earlier in the week. I'm sure he was a bit rusty and still hadn't had a great chance to develop chemistry with his receivers. I do think in the 2nd half that Siri went a little simpler with the O to try and eat the clock and reduce the chance of TOs to swing momentum. So while Minshew and the O looked mostly outstanding in the 1st half, all they had to be was effective enough in the 2nd half. He gave most of us what we wanted to see and that's how a QB who can see the field, anticipate routes and open receivers, and move subtly in the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield looking to make a play with his arm first and legs second instead of doing ballerina pirouettes. Now we can image what Siri's O will look like with a competent QB. And yes, most of us also know Minshew is not the long term answer, but he is one of the best backups in the League and can hold down the position for a short while until we get a potential franchise QB. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since they are both backup calibre guys and Minshew is clearly better than the other he should probably be the guy that plays. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2rock Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Just as I have been saying I’m not making too much out of any performance by Hurts, good or bad, I’m going to apply the same logic to Minshew. Good day today, but let’s see if he can do it consistently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Shiznit Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 He looked okay, threw accurate short passes but under-threw every single mid to long pass. But he passed it better than Hurts has since the first half of the DEN game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weko Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Lurie wants Hurts to play. Minshew had good production with a horrible Jags organization. He is a low end starter and much better than Hurts right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
