Since Jacksonville Jaguars still haven’t figured out their quarterback situation, the team’s running back Leonard Fournette decided to pitch an intriguing idea to his front office. According to Fournette, Jags should sign the 2015’s MVP Cam Newton.

Making an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Fournette said that he believes Newton’s experience and dynamic playmaking would benefit Jacksonville and boost their offense.

“Cam went to the Super Bowl,” said Fournette. “He’s a great guy. I’ve been knowing Cam for a minute now.”

Fournette explained that he doesn’t think Newton should immediately have the job over the second-year signal-caller Gardner Minshew, calling for a friendly competition.

“And like I told some people that talked to me, it’s no disrespect to [Gardner Minshew],” he added. “I’m just trying to get in the best position as a team as we can [to] win. That’s all that was about. Just friendly competition ’cause that brings out the best in people.”

Jags decided to trade Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles to Chicago Bears earlier this offseason, leaving Minshew as an only valid option on the QB position. The 23-year-old is coming off a solid first NFL season in which he passed for 3,271 yards and 21 touchdowns, both franchise records for a rookie.

However, not many people think that Minshew is a long-term solution for Jacksonville. One of those people seems to be Fournette and it will be interesting to see the dynamic between the two if Jags end up not signing Newton.

It seems like “Minshew Mania” is over in Jacksonville, at least for now.

Jacksonville Jaguars’ head coach Doug Marrone announced on Tuesday that the Nick Foles will be the team’s starting quarterback moving forward, with rookie Gardner Minshew assuming the backup role.

Foles suffered a broken collarbone in Week 1 and landed on the injured reserve, which opened the opportunity for Minshew to start in the past eight weeks. Minshew put a nice run during that period, leading the team to 4-4 record, but that wasn’t enough for him to remain a starter once Foles recovered.

“I made a decision on the quarterbacks, and Nick will be our starting quarterback going forward,” – Marrone told reporters. “Obviously [it’s] my decision. I worked hard on it, came to it.”

According to Marrone, the team’s offense was suited to Foles in the offseason he believes that the Jags have a better chance of having success with him. 

“Looking back at all the work we put in and I just go back to the experience of what he’s going to be able to do,” – he added. “I think that’s going to give us the ability, a better chance of winning right now.”

After leading Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl win in 2017 and Divisional playoffs in 2018, Nick Foles signed a four-year, $88 million contract with the Jaguars in March.

In his first start for Jacksonville in Week 1, Foles completed 5 of 8 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game with an injury. His next game will be against Indianapolis Colts in Week 11.
