So, I'm originally from NJ--which is why I'm an Eagles' fan--but I moved down to Jacksonville about 9 years ago. I follow the Jaguars because I'm here, etc. Wouldn't call myself a fan but, well, I don't hate them. Anyway, this guy Minshew has really taken the city by storm and, after winning last night, he's like a total cult hero. It's hard not to love the guy. He looks like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite and dresses like a 1970s pornstar. He actually got an offer from a porn site to dance on camera in only his jock strap. Apparently, he did something like that in college. He's having a great time playing QB for the Jags. He was a 6th round pick and looked horrible in preseason. With Foles going down, he stepped into the #1 spot. He's played pretty-well when you figure he is a rookie who was picked so late. Anyway, it's energized the city, which is a good thing. More-importantly, he's just a fun guy. Check out his interview after the game. The NFL needs more fun characters like this and less of the Antonio Brown-type drama... ---> clicky<---

I thought he played decently against us in preseason.
He is a fun guy.
They are talking about him on sports talk here in Philly pondering if he'll replace Foles.

They asked him about Foles and he had nothing but nice things to say about him. Saying he's been great in supporting him etc. Foles is just an awesome person.

Almost 60,000 people actually went to the Jags game. I guess they really do believe in him.

Almost 60,000 people actually went to the Jags game. I guess they really do believe in him. It's early in the season. The way he played in the 1st game (after Foles went down) and last week gave them hope for Thursday night. He then won Thursday so the Jags' fans will go to (at least) another game. However, as soon as they start losing, the fans around here will start saying, "See, they still suck!" They'll love Minshew (as long as he doesn't start screwing up) and they'll continue to talk about him and post about him but will stop going to games. That's the difference between most other teams' fans and Eagles' fans. We still support them even when they suck.
