While the Jacksonville Jaguars may not have the most experienced quarterbacks room, it’s no doubt they have one of the smartest.
Joshua Dobbs is a certified rocket scientist for NASA while Gardner Minshew II scored a 42 on the Wonderlic test. New draftee Jake Luton wasn’t too far behind Minshew in terms of his Wonderlic score, acquiring a 33 while the newest member of the group, Mike Glennon, finished college with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a master’s degree in Arts in Liberal Studies.
Clearly, the Jags’ quarterback room isn’t lacking when it comes to book smarts, which is why coach Doug Marrone is confident that they could take on any team in the league when it comes to trivia. In his Zoom conference with the media Friday, Marrone said his group will challenge any team to a game of Jeopardy though that may not do much for them on Sundays.

While we don’t know exactly where the Jags’ quarterbacks room would rank in terms of their work on the gridiron, it’s clear they won’t have a hard time finding work after football.
As for the group’s outlook for 2020, clearly, Minshew is the guy heading forward. Glennon and Dobbs will have the chance to battle for the backup spot, though it’s not out of the realm of possibilities to keep both. Luton, on the other hand, will be a developmental player and his 2020 season on the roster would likely have to come on the Jags’ practice squad.
