I'll get one thing out of the way. I'm not advocating that Richardson as of right now is better than Minshew. The stats show this.
But, I do think that Richardson's talent level allows the team a better chance to win, but it's a double edged sword because as a rookie with limited experience he's also more likely to cost us a win. Richardson can throw on the run. He has decent feel in the pocket. He was starting to make good reads against defenses. He also throws the ball way too hard which was in part why we had so many drops.
I guess my point is that more often than not, Minshew is not a game changer, and therefore he doesn't often influence the outcome of the game compared to Richardson.
I'll toss out this past weekend as an anomaly (hopefully).
