We’ll get to see what Gardner Minshew is made of during the last stretch (if the team is predominantly healthy)

The last five games of the Jags’ schedule will be the toughest because they will face three top-6 defenses from 2019. Those teams are the Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, and Chicago Bears, who were sixth, third, and fourth, respectively. They will also face two divisional rivals in the Titans and Colts, who know them all too well and will bring it defensively.

Add in the fact that the Jags’ last three games (against the Ravens, Bears, and Colts) are against top-9 opponents against the run, and it appears the Jags are going to need their passing game to be solid.

This means we could find out a lot about Minshew if the Jags a predominately healthy at this point (or at least healthy as they can be). Regardless as to if they win the last five or not, if the offense fares well under Minshew that would be a great sign for him as the Jags head into the offseason.

Look for these teams (and others) to play the young signal-caller like the Saints did: from the pocket. How Minshew responds (again, if the supporting cast is healthy) will tell the Jags front office what direction they need to go in next season as far as a quarterback goes.
