Let's hope he is healthy in two weeks. But having said that I do think there has been an overreaction to Minshew, particularly by some Philly journalists. He played well enough to win against Dallas. He was poor against the Saints, but they have a legitimately good D. Minshew is a borderline starter/very good back-up in this league. My opinion hasn't changed. The backup QB has historically been the favorite son of Philadelphia. The city just wasn’t prepared to be let down like that. BookEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it would be pretty high! Going back to when Detmer and AJ won 5 games (2002?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mishew just didn’t get it done so he’s been a letdown for me. We got more out of AJ Feeley as a rookie than what we got from the guy who thinks he deserves to be the starter of this team. He wasn’t good enough against the Cowboys and he didn’t protect the football. We lost a game he should have won and I’m not trying to hear a good defense beat him with the Saints. The Saints are a seven win football team who just lost to Carolina. There isn’t any excuse considering his defense gave up 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Darold beat the Saints, in New Orleans, with 75 yards of total offense. How did that happen ?? The Panthers ran the f’ing ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being right handed, I would think you would lead with your left shoulder If you're right handed, you're most likely right footed as well. That makes your left foot your plant foot and the one you push off with, which will naturally put the right side of your body forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no reason to hold him back at that point. Yeah I don't get the concern especially when he looked perfectly fine Sunday. Apparently Steichen didn't see a problem with it either being he had him dropping back to pass at least 45 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was done to get him real game reps due to the time off, plus the 2 weeks off until our playoff game. He probably wanted to knock off as much rust as possible.

We play again in 12 days which will be 5 weeks removed from injury? Again, the coaches didn't feel concerned calling at least 40-45 passing plays putting him at risk when up double digits up most of the game until the last minute. Some of you guys just love to be concerned for no good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why they held him out tho because they felt Minshew could get it done after an ok game against Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well be concerned for him taking sacks then too. Hurts rarely takes big hits and that injury could've happened inside the pocket as well seeing the way he was tackled with the defender landing on top of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have rather the coaching staff had run the ball a week ago and beat the Saints. Sam Darnold beat them in New Orleans on Sunday, and had 75 yards of total offense. 41 carries for 171 yards, just like the Eagles should have done.

You could also say it about this week as well because the Eagles only had about 25 real rushing attempts even though they were up double digits most of the game.

If they had run the ball against the Bears, the injury very well would have never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
