All throughout the Jacksonville Jaguars’ game yesterday to the Houston Texans Josh Allen Jersey , I noticed a very strange trend building as the game went on — comparing Gardner Minshew to Blake Bortles.It was weird to see popping up after every third down stop or sack or fumble that Minshew suffered because, well, they couldn’t be any more different.We’ll cast aside the fact that the mistakes Bortles was making came in his fifth year and that comparing him to a sixth round rookie making his first career start tells me more about Bortles (and, frankly, you as an observer) their styles of play and things that both quarterbacks hang their hat on aren’t even in the same stratosphere.In broad strokes, Bortles is a high-risk, high-reward guy. There is no middle ground. He will either take over a game or lose it for you in spectacular fashion. (Usually it was more the latter than the former, but we’re still healing.)Minshew, however Tanner Lee Color Rush Jersey , is incredibly efficient. He’s not as strong-armed but he makes good decisions in his reads and isn’t prone to turnovers.If you distilled all of Bortles’ games with Jacksonville into a single outing, you’d have this sort of box score: 21-for-35, 235 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception, and 6.7 yards per attempt.That’s just the average, however. His games ranged from the fantastic (a five-touchdown performance with zero turnovers back in 2015) to the morbid (92 yards on 28 passes). See what I mean? High variance. In more than one-third of his games over his career, he finished with less than 200 yards. He had multiple turnovers in half his games. And on the other side, he scored multiple touchdowns in nearly half his games.In short Jaelen Strong Jersey , you never quite knew what you were going to get with Bortles. His average box score doesn’t look as bad as it was because the point with Bortles wasn’t about box scores — it was that he could throw four touchdowns one week and four interceptions the next. He was a model of inconsistency.But where Bortles failed to consistently be the same guy week in and week out, Minshew has been largely the same guy in each of his first two games.In Week 1, Minshew was not at fault for any of his three incompletions or his one interception. He’s been very accurate — 69% completion percentage or better in both games — and he’s not really been at risk for interceptions. He took too many sacks yesterday and fumbled the ball away three times, but I think that’s directly attributed to poor offensive line play and his being a rookie who just learned seven days ago he’s the starter for the next two months. It’s not who he is, but rather a typical trait of rookie quarterbacks, especially those thrust into the starting role with no notice.Minshew also gave the Jaguars a chance to win, despite a poor run game and lackluster play calling. It almost looked like the coaches had him on a leash the first three quarters but when they had no other option Minshew shined.In short, what we’re seeing in Minshew is a quarterback who is developing some consistent expectations for his team and for the fans — he’s accurate, he’s a good decision maker https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Brad-Nortman-Jersey , and he’s not interception prone.The same could not be said for Bortles. Anything that isn’t NFL free agency may get lost in the shuffle this week.Except for, you know, the guy who may go first overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.According to Peter King of NBC’s Football Morning in America, Oklahoma officials are braced for a crush of interest in Wednesday’s Pro Day, when some guy named Kyler Murray will work out. Already, all 32 teams and over 100 members of the media have been credentialed for the event (compared to 80 last year for quarterback Baker Mayfield and 60 the year before for controversial running back Joe Mixon).“That’s the way we want it to be at Oklahoma,” Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said.Of course, the real interest will be in what Murray actually does. He’s reportedly going to go through the full scope of measurements, run a 40 Donte Moncrief Color Rush Jersey , and go through his scripted throwing workout.Murray didn’t work out at the Scouting Combine, but checking in at 5-foot-10 and 207 pounds was the subject of great interest. Teams will be making sure he doesn’t shrink, while the teams at the top of the draft order will be watching that throwing workout closely. Then the top teams with specific interest (King mentions as likely the Cardinals, Raiders, Giants, and perhaps the Jaguars and Dolphins) will try to schedule private workouts.And even though it will he happening the first official day of free agency, there will be plenty of attention on what happens in Norman, Okla.
