It’s a good thing the Jaguars do not have to rely on Gardner Minshew to win football games, but it’s nice to know the rookie has been a steady influence in the offensive scheme since stepping onto the field in the first half of Week 1 of the NFL season.
Minshew’s cult-like following aside, the sixth-round pick out of Washington State has been better than when the coaching staff had hoped for and Thursday night was just another step in the neophyte’s education as an NFL quarterback. Two early touchdowns and steady play down the stretch was the perfect balance to a defense that registered nine sacks in a 20-7 win over the Tennessee Titans.
