Minshew is a sensible quarterback-room insurance policy: he has started plenty of games, can create a little when the play breaks down and will not be overwhelmed by a sudden call. His 2025 workload was tiny, so this is about proven reserve competence rather than recent momentum.
Strengths: Extensive starting experience, good competitive instincts and enough mobility to survive outside structure. His 2023 Pro Bowl season demonstrated that he can keep a team functional over a long stretch.
Weaknesses: His recent 2025 passing production was almost nonexistent, and his career has included uneven accuracy and ball-security stretches. He is best as an experienced contingency rather than a locked-in high-end starter.
