2024 started with a huge change for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a>, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> leaving the organization after 24 seasons. But the year may have even more changes in store for the franchise, especially at quarterback.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>‘s departure in 2020 left a huge vacancy in Foxborough, and while the team hoped <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a> would be the long-term answer in 2021, all signs are pointing towards an overhaul this offseason.



With the Alabama product struggling in the last couple of seasons, the Patriots are expected to start over by drafting one of the best QBs of this year’s class with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in April.



In the event it takes this path, New England may look for a seasoned quarterback who can help with the transition. With that in mind, these veteran signal-callers could start the season before handing the baton or provide an insurance behind the rookie.

<h2>Joe Flacco</h2>



When it looked like his time in the NFL was over, Joe Flacco proved he still had enough left in the tank in 2023. After watching the first half of the season on TV, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> turned to him in an emergency move and the 39-year-old exceeded expectations.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240309_BUS_110044_joeflaccobrowns-1024x576_febc0065.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Joe Flacco playing for the Cleveland Browns." class="wp-image-91177" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Joe Flacco playing for the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



With an inspiring season worthy of the Comeback Player of the Year award, Flacco proved he can still be useful for teams looking for a short-term solution at the position. A former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champ, Flacco could be the bridge QB the Patriots may need if they enter 2024 with a rookie.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id=""></div>


<h2>Jacoby Brissett</h2>



A younger option than Flacco but with enough experience in the league, Jacoby Brissett has forged a reputation for being a reliable backup with a positive impact in the locker room.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240309_BUS_110044_Jacoby-Brissett-2-1024x576_38872dbe.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jacoby Brissett in action for the Patriots in 2016." class="wp-image-109509" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Jacoby-Brissett-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Jacoby-Brissett-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Jacoby-Brissett-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Jacoby-Brissett-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Jacoby-Brissett-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jacoby Brissett in action for the Patriots in 2016.</figcaption></figure>





Another thing that makes him a good fit for the Patriots is his past with the team, having spent his rookie year in Foxborough behind Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo. The 31-year-old did quite well in 2022 with the Browns, where he worked with most of the Patriots’ current offense staff.



<h2>Gardner Minshew</h2>



If the Patriots prefer a younger option who can compete for the job while knowing the long-term plan is to promote the rookie, then Gardner Minshew could be a good match.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240309_BUS_110044_Gardner-Minshew-1024x576_e287b7c2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Gardner Minshew #10 of the Indianapolis Colts runs with the ball during the game against the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium on January 06, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana." class="wp-image-110078" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Gardner-Minshew-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Gardner-Minshew-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Gardner-Minshew-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Gardner-Minshew-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/Gardner-Minshew.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Gardner Minshew #10 of the Indianapolis Colts runs with the ball during the game against the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium on January 06, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.</figcaption></figure>



At 27, he entered the 2023 season as Anthony Richardson’s backup in Indianapolis but ended up starting most games due to the rookie’s season-ending injury. Minshew did better than predicted, winning a place in the Pro Bowl as an alternate.

NFL Rumors: Veteran quarterbacks Patriots may target this offseason

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady’s</a> knowledge of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> might be very useful for the league even though he’s retired. Now, the former quarterback has urged the organization to make big changes in the rules following the suspension of Damontae Kazee.



In Week 15 of the 2023 regular season, a deeply unfortunate incident unfolded. Damontae Kazee, safety for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, collided with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in a helmet-to-helmet contact, endangering the well-being of both players.



Following this situation, the NFL decided to suspend Kazee indefinitely. However, Tom Brady has stepped in to defend the safety, urging the league to implement changes to prevent these types of hits.



<h2>Tom Brady asks quarterbacks to protect their own receivers</h2>



A scary moment arrived in Week 15 of the 2023 season. Damontae Kazee, safety of the Steelers, arrived late for a tackle on Michael Pittman Jr., hitting the wide receiver directly on the head.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231215#BUS#92247"></div>


After the game, the NFL announced that they were suspending Damontae Kazee indefinitely for that hit. It is unknown if the safety will also be out for the playoffs if the Steelers advance.



The decision sparked a major debate across the league. While many analysts support the league’s call, Tom Brady contends that it’s essential to recognize that defensive players aren’t always at fault.



According to the seven-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> champion, quarterbacks must protect their own wide receivers and not put them in risky situations. Brady addressed the matter on Instagram, receiving support from important players such as J.J. Watt.



“Nobody likes seeing players get hurt. But hard hits happen,” Tom Brady said on Instagram. “QBs should not be throwing the ball in areas where they are exposing their own teammates to these types of hits. Coaches need to coach better, QBs needs to read coverages and throw the ball to the right places and defenders should aim for the right hitting areas.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231219_BUS_93066_Damontae-Kazee-Steelers-during-his-helmet-to-helmet-hit-on-Michael-Pittman-Jr.-Colts-1024x576_ebfedb8e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Damontae Kazee (Steelers) during his helmet-to-helmet hit on Michael Pittman Jr. (Colts)" class="wp-image-93081" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Damontae-Kazee-Steelers-during-his-helmet-to-helmet-hit-on-Michael-Pittman-Jr.-Colts-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Damontae-Kazee-Steelers-during-his-helmet-to-helmet-hit-on-Michael-Pittman-Jr.-Colts-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Damontae-Kazee-Steelers-during-his-helmet-to-helmet-hit-on-Michael-Pittman-Jr.-Colts-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Damontae-Kazee-Steelers-during-his-helmet-to-helmet-hit-on-Michael-Pittman-Jr.-Colts-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Damontae-Kazee-Steelers-during-his-helmet-to-helmet-hit-on-Michael-Pittman-Jr.-Colts.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Damontae Kazee (Steelers) during his helmet-to-helmet hit on Michael Pittman Jr. (Colts)</figcaption></figure>



While Brady never mentioned Gardner Minshew, quarterback of the Colts, he was clearly sending him a message. “To put the blame on the defense player all the time is just flat out wrong. Need better QB play!! It’s not OK QBs to get your WRs hit because of your bad decisions!” the legend added.



<h2>What are Mike Tomlin’s thoughts on Damontae Kazee’s suspension?</h2>



Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Steelers, won’t be able to have Damontae Kazee for the rest of the regular season. Of course this is a sensitive loss for the team, but Tomlin knows that they must respect the league’s decision.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231214#BUS#91965"></div>


“Sometimes it’s just professional football today, and how difficult it is to operate, but the National Football League is really clear, man. They put a hundred percent of the onus on the defender in those circumstances. It’s unfortunate, but we understand it,” Tomlin said.

Quarterbacks are often measured by their ability to protect the football, making them invaluable assets for championship-contending teams. In a league where defenses relentlessly study and adapt to exploit vulnerabilities, avoiding turnovers is no small feat.



Several factors, such as offensive line performance, play-calling decisions, and the effectiveness of wide receivers, can influence a quarterback’s susceptibility to making errors. This vulnerability is even more pronounced for young quarterbacks transitioning from the college game to the NFL.



Despite all these challenges, it’s truly remarkable that as we are five games into the season, two quarterbacks have maintained a pristine record. These two quarterbacks are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">CJ Stroud</a>, who have been nothing short of extraordinary avoiding interceptions.



<h2>Purdy and Stroud’s Impressive Numbers</h2>



While there are other quarterbacks like Andy Dalton and Gardner Minshew who have managed to avoid throwing interceptions this season, their limited number of starts takes them out of the spotlight. Dalton have started just one match for the Panthers, the same amount appearing in Minshew’s season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a> thus far.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231010#BUS#73961"></div>


The true stellar players relating to ball security in this early part of the season are Purdy and Stroud. Purdy’s ascent to the starting role for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> last season was spectacular. Since taking the reins, the 49ers have not lost a single regular-season game that he started and finished.



Purdy has an almost perfect record, with the only blemish being a defeat to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> in the NFC Championship game, in which the quarterback was forced to leave early due to an elbow injury in the first quarter. Despite this setback, his performance this season has been remarkable, with nine touchdown passes in just five games, showcasing his ability to lead a high-octane offense. Purdy’s

Stroud’s story with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a> is even more captivating. Many overlooked him before the draft, but he has proven his worth as the second pick. The Texans have a 2-3 record as the quarterback has thrown for seven touchdowns without a single interception. He currently ranks fourth in passing yards with 292.2 per game.

NFL: The Quarterbacks Without Interceptions this Season - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> will face a very challenging 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Ahead of the upcoming campaign, the AFC South team has made a big announcement, with a shocking decision regarding their rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson.



Last year, the Colts signed a veteran quarterback to lead the offense. Matt Ryan arrived with huge expectations, but he fell short from them. At the end of the 2022 campaign, Indianapolis parted ways with him and started to search for his replacement.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230815#BUS#46338"></div>


First, the AFC South squad added Gardner Minshew, former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaguars</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eagles</a> player. However, they decided to use their 2023 first-round pick in a quarterback, drafting Anthony Richardson with the 4th overall pick.



<h2>Colts announce their starting quarterback for the 2023 NFL season</h2>



The Colts will have a new player leading their offense this year. Following Matt Ryan’s departure, the team started an intense search for a new quarterback, adding to new faces to their roster this offseason.



Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson arrived in Indianapolis earlier this year, joining Sam Ehlinger in the quarterbacks’ room. The competition among these three players for the starting role has concluded, as the Colts have now revealed their final decision.



Head coach Shane Steichen announced on Tuesday that Anthony Richardson will be the team’s starting quarterback in Week 1, beating out Minshew and Ehlinger. The rookie played the first preseason game, going 7-for-12 with 67 yards and one interception against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buffalo Bills</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230810#BUS#44108"></div>


This decision has surprised some fans. Earlier this year, Colts owner Jim Irsay said that Richardson could start the season as Minshew’s backup. However, the former Florida Gators player finally convinced the head coach to give him the offense right from the beginning.

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Las Vegas Raiders</a> can’t seem to catch a break. They made the somewhat questionable decision to move on from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Derek-Carrs-contract-with-the-Saints-How-much-money-will-the-quarterback-make-20230306-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Derek Carr</a> to Jimmy Garoppolo, and they didn’t even try and get one of the best prospects in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft.



Jimmy G’s contract could be voided on the basis of an injured foot, leaving the Raiders with a less-than-impressive QB room and Brian Hoyer as the likeliest starter.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230529#BUS#4781"></div>


Needless to say, that’s far from an ideal situation, which is why they might look to consider multiple options — yes, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady </a>— as their quarterback for next season.



<h2>NFL Rumors: 3 Potential Quarterbacks For The Las Vegas Raiders</h2>



<h3>3. Tom Brady</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230529_BUS_4823_tom-brady-2-1024x572_5d783171.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-4784" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121206/tom-brady-2-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121206/tom-brady-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121206/tom-brady-2-768x429.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121206/tom-brady-2.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tom Brady – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Tom Brady was reportedly set to buy a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. That means NFL owners could -literally- force him to stay retired before approving that transaction.



So, Brady could have to choose between playing for Josh McDaniels again and running it back for at least one season, or potentially making millions watching his money grow from home. I know what I would do.



<h3>2. Gardner Minshew</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230529_BUS_4823_gardner-minshew-1024x572_a5c9d8ad.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-4785" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121204/gardner-minshew-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121204/gardner-minshew-300x168.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121204/gardner-minshew-768x429.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121204/gardner-minshew.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Gardner Minshew – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Minshew Mania didn’t last long enough. Gardner Minshew’s shockingly impressive start to his career was as unsustainable as predicted, but he’s still far better than the average backup QB.



The Indianapolis Colts drafted Anthony Richardson, so they could be tempted to give up on Minshew at a reasonable price. He’d be a solid stopgap for them, even if they intend to tank for Caleb Williams.

Multiple teams reportedly reached out to the San Francisco 49ers to ask about Trey Lance’s availability. He has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, but he’s still quite young.



The Niners have made it clear that Brock Purdy will be the starter when he’s healthy, so Lance could also be more than open to finding a new home, obviously making the best and most logical fit.

NFL Rumors: Tom Brady and potential quarterbacks for Las Vegas Raiders

NFL Rumors: Tom Brady and potential quarterbacks for Las Vegas Raiders - Bolavip US

If a quarterback doesn’t get picked early in the draft, his path generally becomes an uphill battle to play regularly. Maybe staying as a backup in the league is their ceiling. That was Gardner Minshew’s case when he arrived in the NFL, but the QB changed that early.
Minshew was the 178th pick in 2019 when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/The-curious-gift-Doug-Pederson-received-for-the-Jaguars-win-over-the-Cowboys-20221221-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> took him in the sixth round. He was supposed to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Colts-make-change-at-QB-When-was-former-Super-Bowl-MVP-Nick-Foles-last-start-20221222-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nick Foles</a>’ alternative and that’s how it started. Although an injury to the Super Bowl LII MVP in the first quarter of week 1 opened the door and he used it to make himself a good option.
He then lost his place in the team only because they got Trevor Lawrence with the first overall pick in 2021. His stay on the bench didn’t last since the Philadelphia Eagles traded a conditional sixth round pick for him before the season began. Now he <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Why-is-Jalen-Hurts-not-playing-for-the-Philadelphia-Eagles-against-the-Dallas-Cowboys-20221222-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has another chance to prove his worth vs the Dallas Cowboys after Jalen Hurts’ injury</a>.
<h2>How old is Gardner Minshew?</h2>

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-eagles-make-a-free-agency-blockbuster-move-to-increase-their-super-bowl-odds-20221117-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eagles</a> are the best team in the NFLholdingan impressive 13-1 record. After their only loss of the season against the Washington Commanders in Week 10, Philadelphia bounced back and are currently on a five-game winning streak with victories overthe Colts, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Depth-Chart-2022-Who-are-the-Packers-WR1-WR2-and-WR3-20221221-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Packers</a>, Titans, Giants and Bears.
Considering this scenario, the Eagles control their destiny to clinch the NFC East with a win against the Dallas Cowboys on Week 16. Furtermore, a victory wouldalso give Nick Sirianni’s team home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and a first-round bye. That could be crucial to recover injured players and give some rest to their starters.
That’s why this Saturday’s game facing the Cowboys at Arlington is a very long awaited matchup for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-2022-Stats-The-best-winning-streaks-entering-Week-16-20221221-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a>. Jalen Hurts was supposed to give another great performance towards the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-MVP-2022-Poll-Pick-your-favorite-to-win-the-award-20221220-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MVP Award </a>in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-2022-23-playoff-format-how-will-the-football-postseason-be-played-20220908-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a>, but, there are important reasons why the quarterback won’t be able to take the field at AT&amp;T Stadium.
<h2>Whyis Jalen Hurts not playing against the Dallas Cowboys?</h2>
Jalen Hurts is out of the game against the Dallas Cowboys because of a right shoulder sprain. Last week at Soldier Field facing the Chicago Bears, the quarterback suffered the injury in the third quarter after a tackle by defensive linemanTrevis Gipson. Hurts missed a few snaps, but came back and played through it to finish the game.
Considering Jalen Hurts is not available, Gardner Minshew will get the call as the starting quarterback for the most anticipated game of Week 16. Minshew was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars inthe sixth round of the2019 NFL Draft and had an extraordinary breakthrough season.
However, following a bad 2020, Gardner Minshew was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles where he became the backup. Head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t give an update to confirm if Jalen Hurts would be ready if needed for Week 17 and the matchup with New Orleans.
