No way. Teddy throws the ball about like Cam did when his shoulder went out in 2018. Minshew has a pretty good arm. 

No he doesn’t, Minshew arm is one of it not the weakest in the league. The second Luton and Glennon came in they started stretching the field more.

I didn't watch enough Jags games to compare but the stats don't back that up.  Glennon has only .2 more intended air yards per attempt and .1 fewer completed air yards per attempt than Minshew.  Their intended air yards per attempt were both more than Teddy's.

I don't think Minshew has a cannon but he is certainly more aggressive with the ball than Teddy is.  Despite that, he threw fewer interceptions per attempt.

But we hopefully do better than either of them.  If not, and if he's cheap, I don't mind Minshew.

He’s more aggressive that doesn’t mean his arm is better, Minshew can’t stretch the field at all.

Minshews arm strength is regularly referred to as substandard for the NFL. Being slightly more aggressive than Bridgewater is not something you trade for. I don't have much concern we would ever do this though.

How would you compare his arm strength to Jake Delhomme’s?

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
