It's not so much about being sold on Minshew so much as looking at the situation from their perspective. They have a popular 6th round pick rookie who stepped up when their FA-bust QB in Foles went down immediately. If you are Gruden how do you sell the idea that you are going to bring in a QB you coached who hasn't had a winning season in 4 years, won 2 games as a starter last year, and on paper has stats that are significantly worse than the popular cheap guy you have now?
Let's look at Burrow and Minshew without the whole 1st overall pick vs 6th round afterthought thing. Minshew was a .500 QB with 21 TDs to 6 INTs and a rating of 91.2. If Burrow puts up similar numbers in 2020 are we going to say "Oh crap...we need to go back to Dalton!"
