The amount of INTs that Minshew has thrown are a big factor to why he hasn't been able to stick anywhere. He also has a weaker arm, I feel. Brissett's not amazing, but will take care of the ball, and play the kind of game manager role that a team can do alright with.
Minshew is flashier, but riskier.
Am I going to lose sleep over this QB battle? Certainly not, but I do think that Brissett's the best player in the room, and deserves a slight bump in pay. I have no idea what his camp actually wants, but I still don't see the point in not throwing him a few more million.
Unless, of course, we're eyeballing the idea of drafting Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft, and Brissett can just sit out while we let one veteran and two young QBs battle it out.
