Minshew in Vegas

Minshew narrative

Im confused as to why this narrative of "just a back up" haunts GM. Hes managed two anemic offense to .500 records with little too no support around him.

And if AP is so desperate to not have GM at the helm, trade his ass instead of talking publicly about what a garbage player he is.

First, we’re talking about practice. Minshew has proved on the field what he can do…even with a less than stellar cast around him. He’s not an all-pro, but the dude wins games for mediocre teams. Give him some talent and see what he can do.
Second. Why do you go out ahead of the season and tell your team and your QBs that they suck?

Bigger question is How the F is this guy an NFL head coach? 10 years ago he started his coaching career - as a HS coach.

They do it by becoming a position, assistant coach in college, after being a highschool HC, that is wildly successful.

Then they get a reputation as a wildly successful, awesome position coach, assistant coach in College. And because of that, then a NFL team, etc, then hires them as a position coach, assistant coach in NFL.

Then they are wildly successful as a position coach, assistant coach in NFL, and get promoted to assistant Offensive coordinator, assistant defensive coordinator, assistant coach, where again they are wildly successful.

Then after that they are made offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator, where again are wildly successful.

Then after that they are made assistant head coach/offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator/assistant coach, where again wildly successful.

Then they stay at, in that role, continuing to be wildly successful, until the head coach is fired, and then they get hired as the head coach about 6,7,8,9,10 years after being a highschool head coach, because of the fans, the GM, pres, vp, owner, etc.

That's how a highschool coach becomes a NFL HC in 10 years or less.

If, since Paul Wulf coached as a assistant assistant position, assistant assistant coach, either as a intern, or getting paid almost nothing, in the NFL, then a Highschool HC, can become a NFL HC in less then 10 years.

Minshew just signed for 2 yrs $25 M with $15M guaranteed.

Raiders are a mid to crappy team.

Let the other guy start, fail, then Minshew can come in to save the day.

I remember watching Minshew come back beat the broncos in Denver with an ass jags team. When the broncos were looking for a QB I thought for sure they’d trade the 6th it would have taken to get Minshew instead they mortgage 3 years worth of picks and pay Wilson. Half the dudes that got drafted in the first round this year won’t have the career that Minshew will have.

Boggles my mind he hasn’t gotten more credit for leading shitty teams to wins. He’s not a top 10 QB but on the right team with a reasonable QB cap number that allows for investments in surrounding talent, he could absolutely take a team to the SB. There’s a lot of NFL GMs that don’t have a F’n clue what they are doing.

Thanks for the education Mik. Although your use of the term "wildly successful" (6 times in your post) does not seem to describe this guy's resume at all. Also not sure of what Paul Wulff has to do with this.

Word right now is that half of the QBs drafted in the first round this year won’t even start this year. Two of the six will because there’s no other option. One sounds like he’s doing well. Penix won’t. Stidham has outperformed Nix in Denver, and Jacoby Brissett is outdoing Maye in New England.

Nix and Maye probably start before the end of the season because $$$. But Minshew is still a solid option for anyone, especially as a budget-friendly veteran. If the Raiders would fix their OL and get another reliable target, he really could take them somewhere.

6/12 117 and a TD, 9.8 YPA…no sacks. Pretty damn good in preseason, percentage isn’t there but YPA is outstanding and the TD throw was a dime.

As for the broncos, not what I’m hearing. Nix is progressing quickly and probably on track to start week 1. Stidham been good too but Nix is impressing. Now, practice is practice we will see how he looks in the games. And Seattle’s defense looks back to its old form, Byron Murphy is a load. I’m not sure I want nix in there week one against them in Seattle 😬

Not sure if this is top level qb play or incredibly reckless, but the no-look is 100% money:

Minshew td pass

Really nice throw. But someone needs to coach him to not pop back up so fast after the hit. Try to draw that roughing flag.

Minshew td pass

Minshew also had about a 28 to 30 to 32 to 34 to 36 to 38 yard, nice thrown, semi on the money, semi deep, semi deep semi bomb ball completion for a nice gain, where tho the WR did have a step on CB, the WR was still tightly, well covered like glue.

Between that and the nice 20 yard TD dime to another semi well covered WR, and the 117 pass yards, on 6/12, and the well managed offense, scoring drive(as far as not taking sacks, not throwing interception, dealing with rush, blitz, bad blocking, penalties, etc, well, and being semi mobile thru moving, and calling a audible to a semi successful run or 2, etc, and compared to all the other Raider QB's, that didn't look as good, didn't look as accurate, that got sacked, etc, Minshew is the best Raider QB, and how in the world could the Raiders, coach, GM, etc, not make Minshew the starter, unless they are STUPID, etc, as Minshew definitely looked the part of a veteran starter QB against the Vikings 1's, 2's, maybe 3's, etc. So unless the Raiders are STUPID, or unless the Raider's have a 1st round lotto type of QB, that they are paying about, around 30+ million to, and because of that maybe feel like they would have to start such a QB, if they have such a QB like that, then unless that's the case, if they don't start Minshew, they are STUPID, if dont start Minshew, if that's not the case, etc.
