Andrew Moore from Horseshoe Huddle doesn't seem inclined to believe the Colts can still make the playoffs with Gardner Minshew leading the way.

00:00 Unfortunately, with Richardson done, do you believe in Gartner Minshew magic?
00:10 Uh, define believe, because I believe he can keep the offense afloat.
00:15 Uh, but, but Gartner Minshew I'd say is one of the top tier, if not the best
00:20 backup quarterback in the NFL.
00:22 However, as a starter, he's definitely a low end starter.
00:26 Um, you're not going to really win because of Gartner Minshew.
00:31 You're going to win with Gartner Minshew.
00:33 So if you're asking him to take over a game and, and, and go out there and
00:38 throw it 40, 45 times and get 350 yards for you, that's, that's not really his
00:43 strong suit where Gartner Minshew is at his best is when he has a strong running
00:48 game, when he's able to move the chains, uh, the pressure isn't on him to do
00:53 everything, and that's kind of what we've seen a couple of times this year.
00:57 When, when Minshew has came in for, for Richardson against the Texans, he, he
01:02 protected the football Colts were running it well with Zach Moss and they were able
01:06 to get the victory in week five against the Tennessee Titans, same thing.
01:11 Minshew comes in for, for Richardson.
01:13 Uh, he's able to not turn the ball over, uh, the Colts can move it down the field.
01:18 They have the threat of the running game with Zach Moss and Jonathan
01:21 Taylor get the easy victory.
01:23 Uh, but then you see last week when it was kind of more on, on Minshew to, to.
01:28 Play catch up.
01:30 And he really couldn't do that.
01:31 He was pushing made way too many mistakes for turnovers by, by Minshew.
01:36 You're never going to win in the NFL when your quarterback turns it over four times.
01:40 So I think he can keep the offense afloat, but as far as where this team
01:46 was going and potentially having some playoff aspirations, I'm, I'm not sure
01:51 where that's, that's a possibility with, with Minshew at the helm.
