Why is Marrone going with N.Foles as his QB instead of G.Minshew??
 

Gardner Minshews 2019 stats :

Year 1 : Rookie
Yards : 2,285
Percentage : 61.2
Touchdowns : 13
Interceptions : 4
Rating : 92.8 (NFL.COM)

Fumbles (11) YIKES!

1 game of 100+ Yards
6 games of 200+ yards
2 games of 300+ yards

I don't get it. I don't watch the Jaguars often, but how can you bench a rookie who is performing this well, and is only 2 games back from your division leader?

In my opinion these types of changes are what get a head coach fired.

Those aren't great stats...

Because they paid Foles a lot of money and Minshew is coming off his worst game of the season.

They have nothing to play for, so they might as well see what they have in Foles to help them make their decision in the offseason.

Deshaun watson's rookie year,

(2 less games)
Percentage 61.8
Yards 1,699
Touchdowns 19
Interceptions 8
Rating 103

Watson had the better rookie year for sure, but many would argue he has/had a better supporting cast, and to be honest, looking at stats alone, (not film) you couldn't exactly point out who would/will have a better career IMO.

Because Foles has earned the right

Because rockstar Minshew still has some dues to pay

SB MVP

Can say the same thing about Minshew.

I don’t think it really matters either way.

Maybe Minshew is showing some mental fatigue. Jags may think he would be well-served by sitting back and absorbing everything he's learned this year. Minshew will probably be much better after a break.

Minshew magic wore off and they want to see what Foles can do.

I guess I don't understand what your point is. Above average rookies on a small sample size are inherently better than a proven vet for some reason?

Tell me about your feelings about benching Mahomes for Matt Moore...

Because Big Dick Nick is going to help us by taking down the Colts this weekend!

Read that somewhere.

Minshew was awful this week. 2 INTs and 2 fumbles. Looked bad when he wasnt turning the ball over.
Id go with Foles if i were them. He is a legit NFL QB. Minshew may be someday but his time is up for now.

I understand that, but they’ve been watching Minshew for 9 weeks. They saw Foles for what a quarter?

Minshew blew his opportunity to continue showing them with a bad performance against a weak Texans secondary. Now it’s Foles turn.

By the end of the season they should have a good idea what they have in both QB’s and go from there.
