Gardner Minshew looks better in Jaguars loss to the Eagles

There is no debate about which quarterback will back up Jacksonville Jaguars starter Nick Foles this season.

Gardner Minshew solidified his case as a team second-string signal collar with an impressive evening against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

End of story.

As a team moves forward toward week three and a date with the Miami Dolphins, men shoe has taken a beating behind a makeshift offensive line and has continued to progress as a quarterback in the NFL and a leader on the field. Alex McGough may have led Jacksonville to its only touchdown on the night, in a 24-10 loss at home, but it’s more than obvious the Jaguars coaching staff wants the rookie to learn and develop as the second-stringer.
