The Facts: Where Minshew stands with the Jaguars remains intriguing, though, because while the Jaguars are clearly moving into a new era under center, Minshew is still around. And despite what one might say about a backup seated behind a newly anointed savior of a franchise, Minshew still carries value. The question, then, is what Minshew's role might be with the new-look Jaguars. Passing game coordinator Brian Schottenheimer cautioned against assuming Minshew was entrenched as the No. 2 quarterback when asked about the position group Wednesday, especially after the Jaguars added veteran passer C.J. Beathard in the offseason. In his mind at this stage, everything remains wide open, even after Jacksonville spent the No. 1 overall pick on Clemson star Trevor Lawrence. "Well, again, I don't agree 100 percent," Schottenheimer said Wednesday of Minshew's projected standing as the second option under center. "We certainly haven't named a starter."
Diehards Line:
As NFL.com put it, "While we can see your eyes rolling from here, we should give Schottenheimer the chance to truly evaluate his quarterback room while he has ample time. ..." Sure, but we also shouldn't expect anybody but Lawrence, who was selected to be the franchise quarterback for the next decade-plus, to be the Week 1 starter. That said, it's still up to him to truly grab a hold on the job. And it's up to the rest of the quarterbacks to prove why they should be the first in line behind the golden boy -- or even ahead of him, if things don't go as expected.
