Gardner Minshew has shattered expectations through four games

When an NFL team needs to play their backup quarterback, it’s either the start of a difficult stretch of play or a blessing in disguise. And for the Jacksonville Jaguars, it’s certainly the latter. Gardner Minshew has gone from sixth-round pick and potential backup to intriguing starter who should have the Jaguars questioning just what to do once injured starter Nick Foles returns. Minshew stepped right in for Foles, who lasted only 11 snaps back in Week 1, and he’s consistently moved the ball with impressive downfield accuracy and poise in the pocket.
