Gardner Minshew II Named The Week 15 Starter
4 years agoJacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback Gardner Minshew II will start in Week 15 against the Ravens. The Mike Glennon experiment is over, at least for the time being, after he went 13-for-23 for just 85 yards and an interception in the Week 14 loss to the Titans before being benched. Minshew Mania probably gives the Jags their best chance of winning, although the second-year signal-caller is still probably nothing more than a glorified game manager under center. The 24-year-old replaced Glennon on Sunday and was 18-for-31 for 178 yards with a touchdown and a pick. He'll make his first start since Week 7 against the Chargers, after which he notified the team he had been playing through a thumb ailment. Minshew is fully healthy now, but he'll be a weak QB2 option for those in superflex leagues in a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Ravens.
