Am I?
Even at the college level, Gardner Minshew was having trouble finding buyers when he put himself up for transfer. He was about to go off to Alabama to be a coach. Literally. Then Mike Leach called and asked if he wants to give it a go. That's how we got where we are with Minshew.
I like the guy. I like the way he plays. He's certainly smart, he's got moxie, he's got style. He reminds me of Matt Moore. There have been times I wonder if he's the most attractive guy you could grab once you get beyond players that have starter potential. I do still think he would "add to the room" as a backup.
But he's got terrible arm talent. He's trying to build his case on the basis of him being an extremely efficient player (because he sure as f--k doesn't have arm talent, size, or athleticism going for him), and yet he only ranked #28 in passer efficiency in 2018. And that was a high water mark for him in his career.
Sometimes you just have to accept that a fun college player is a fun college player and then he melts away into nothing. Or becomes a coach. That's Gardner Minshew's fate.
