The 'stach. But I also saw some real quarterbacking brilliance out of Minshew during his rookie season. Adam Rank identifies five of the unluckiest teams in the NFL in 2019.Adam Rank acknowledges this Chicago Bears season has seemed less enchanted so far than last year's campaign -- but he still sees Matt Nagy's crew reaching the playoffs in 2019.5,000 yards passing isn't cool anymore.
In fact, Minshew actually spent a semester at Troy University on an academic scholarship before heading to Senatobia, Mississippi, and leading the Rangers to the 2015 National Junior College Athletic Association national title.
Which brings me back to the initial point ...Gardner Flint Minshew II isn't supposed to be a starting NFL quarterback.He was a guy you never heard of at East Carolina. Gardner Flint Minshew II isn't supposed to be a starting NFL quarterback.He was a guy you never heard of at Northwest Mississippi Community College. Minshew also threw more touchdown passes than Murray (21 to 20), while hurling half the interceptions (6 to 12). Gardner Minshew averaged 230-plus yards per game, threw for more than 20 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions. I know that's not something you truly quantify. — Gardner Minshew (@GardnerMinshew5) August 25, 2020. Copyright © 2020 United Press International, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 6,000 yards! However, in the wake of unthinkable tragedy at Washington State -- starting QB Tyler Hilinski's suicide -- Cougars coach Mike Leach called Minshew and asked, Gardner Flint Minshew II isn't supposed to be a starting NFL quarterback.He was a guy taken in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by Jacksonville to compete for the backup job behind big-ticket free-agent acquisition Nick Foles.

But 2020 remains for Minshew … Just look at the recent history. Maybe even be in the mix for Trevor Lawrence, if the highly coveted Clemson QB becomes an early entry, as most expect. In fact, while I already ceded that I believe Kyler will have a stronger Year 2 than Gardner -- Murray's quite a talent and has a far better setup right now in Arizona -- there's a good argument to be made that the Jags QB actually outplayed the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. Adam Rank explains why the Chicago Bears legend is the best player -- regardless of position -- in NFL history.The Bears and Rams have both scuffled this season.
The hair. But Gardner was bringing his team back. For Jacksonville, finding a FRANCHISE QB has become one of those Holy Grail quests. Blake Bortles was drafted third overall in 2014 and then received a $54 million extension after helping lead the Jaguars to the 2017 AFC Championship Game. © 2020 NFL Enterprises LLC.
Embrace it, Jacksonville!Derek Carr has plenty of doubters -- but Adam Rank says anyone overlooking the Raiders' QB does so at their own peril, because Carr is poised to have his best season since entering the NFL in 2014. Best running back of all time? But Foles broke his collarbone on his second series -- I mean, part of it was his look. A year after Chark recorded 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns on his way to a Pro Bowl trip, the third-year wide receiver has been given 40/1 odds to lead the NFL in receiving yards in 2020.
Gardner Minshew became an NFL folk hero as a rookie, but in Year 2, he'll truly establish himself as the Jaguars' franchise quarterback. He explains his take and offers up another team that could be this year's dark horse. And I know winning a game at venerable Paul Brown Stadium in 2019 isn't the kind of stuff that legends are made of, but winning on the road in Denver -- against Vic Fangio's defense -- certainly is. Jacksonville Jaguars starting quarterback Gardner Minshew and Detroit Lions Pro Bowl signal-caller Matthew Stafford were among the latest additions to their teams' reserve/COVID-19 lists. Not to mention, he routinely pulled off Houdini acts in and around the pocket. He wears jorts and makes plays.
All of that stuff is great. Plus, why the Browns should be worried.Plenty of people are counting the Indianapolis Colts out on the heels of Andrew Luck's stunning decision to retire. Adam Rank explains why. All other NFL-related trademarks are trademarks of the National Football League. Furthermore, of Gardner's 21 touchdown passes last season, 10 of them came in the fourth quarter. While Murray's athleticism is widely celebrated, Minshew doesn't get his due respect in this area. You know what's cool? A guy for 2020 and beyond. Not even THAT offense (or that one).The Giants would do well to ship Eli Manning to the QB-needy Jaguars -- but, Adam Rank writes, someone else would serve as a better mentor to Gardner Minshew. Bortles certainly was. Yep, that's right. He had at least 25 rushing yards in eight games in 2019, which ranked fifth among quarterbacks. Minshew spent the 2016 and '17 seasons in Greenville, North Carolina, going 3-14 as the Pirates' starting quarterback with an unremarkable 24:11 TD-to-INT ratio.

But at the end of the day, what do Jags fans That's right: Minshew is indeed the Jags' quarterback of the future. A guy who was picked to go put over Jon Moxley on The important takeaway here is that, like Murray's Cardinals, the Jaguars have a signal-caller to build around.
