Gardner Minshew II Told Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell He Should Be Starting QB

Gardner Minshew II isn't shy about competition, but he thinks he's the best quarterback to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"I had conversations with [general manager] Dave Caldwell. I told him, 'Do what you think's best for this team. I believe that I'm going to give us the best chance to win no matter what,'" Minshew said, per Mike DiRocco of ESPN. "I've just got to prove that every day and I'm excited for the opportunity to be able to prove that."

The Jaguars appear set on Minshew opening the 2020 season as their starting quarterback.
