The Indianapolis Colts have been searching for a starting quarterback since Andrew Luck retired in August. Now, it looks like they may have found their man in Gardner Minshew. The rookie quarterback has been impressive in his first two starts for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and reports are now surfacing that he could start for the Colts against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.
Minshew has been a pleasant surprise for the Jaguars, throwing for 692 yards and four touchdowns in his first two starts. He has also shown an ability to make plays with his feet, rushing for two touchdowns and averaging 4.3 yards per carry. His poise and leadership have been impressive, and he has quickly become a fan favorite in Jacksonville.
The Colts have been looking for a quarterback since Luck’s retirement, and they have yet to find a suitable replacement. Jacoby Brissett has been the starter for most of the season, but he has struggled to move the offense consistently. The team is currently 2-5 and in desperate need of a spark.
Minshew could be just the spark that the Colts need. He has shown an ability to make plays with his arm and his legs, and his leadership could help to turn around the team’s fortunes. He would also bring a much-needed energy to the team, as his enthusiasm and passion for the game have been evident in his first two starts.
It remains to be seen if Minshew will indeed start for the Colts against the Ravens this Sunday. But if he does, it could be just what the team needs to get back on track. Minshew has already shown that he can play at a high level, and if he can do so against one of the best teams in the league, it could be a sign of things to come for the Colts.
