Gardner Minshew earns promotion to starter following dramatic late-game heroics in 33-30 overtime win over Dallas.
What to know
- Minshew came off the bench to lead an 80-yard, eight-play drive in the final 65 seconds of regulation, tying the game 30-30 on a 14-yard TD pass to Michael Wilson with six seconds left.

Someone might give up like 6th round pick for a little QB insurance. He's not the best, but be he can hold the clipboard for a team that's got a QB and is playoff bound. You'd hope he's not needed, but it would be nice to have a backup with experience to keep your team from losing every game of your starter goes down.

"High end backup" maybe in that he has experience but the dude just got benched for Minshew and doesn't have a cheap contract at all. WTF is his upside supposed to be? What team is holding on for their QB to get better that he'd improve and keep in the playoff race?

I third string emergency QB set to be a free agent making 15.8 mil this year. I think a 7th will get it done. I mean I have to imagine, they would outright release him at this point, just seeing if they can get even a 7th

Unless you win by having high QB stats, it’s what is important and Jacoby couldn’t get it done. So idk what you’re looking for
-
I mean. If they do nothing, would not shock me that Derrick Henry asks to be traded. Guy does not have time for seasons to get wasted. And given the JT hype, he would probably get a pretty good price for BAL to rebuild

I’ve suffered both of those guys too with the dolphins Just allot of albatross QB play with the dolphins
-
The Giants are not close enough to justify expending draft capital to take on 1 yr of Derrick Henry. I love how the division race is shaping up, it's fun, but we really aren't a running back away from a playoff run

Just keep his ass out of Philly (I'd buy that jersey in a millisecond but we're in shambles)

I cursed the Cardinals after they missed the XP I then praised them after they won
