Gardner Minshew II will start at quarterback for Jaguars against Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, HC Doug Marrone says.

Related players: Nick Foles

The decision looked like it was trending that way after Marrone said he wanted to talk to both players before announcing his decision. Minshew threw a TD pass and the team showed a bit of a spark and energy after falling behind to the Bucs. Foles turned the ball over three times including two lost fumbles.

The Jaguars are 4-8 and set to play out the string over the final four weeks of the regular season regardless of who starts at quarterback.

That makes it less pressing to know the identity of that quarterback and head coach Doug Marrone said after Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers that he’ll take his time before revealing the answer to that question. Nick Foles turned the ball over three times before being benched in favor of Gardner Minshew.

Marrone said he wants to do things "the right way" and added he wants to talk to both QBs before any announcement comes out because things are "emotional right now" and everyone is "really disappointed," according to the story.

So what exactly does Doug Marrone intend to do to get the Jaguars out of one of their all-time funks? He balked at the idea of going back to rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew, sticking by his earlier stance that Nick Foles would be the starter moving forward.

Foles is recently back from a shoulder injury after missing most of the season so it could be a timing issue. And, the Jags are paying Foles a lot of money which could also be a factor in this decision. Plus, the team may want to get more of a read on how Foles works with the rest of the offense to get a better idea for next year. Whatever the case, Foles looks to be under center the rest of the way at this point.
