He was a bust a long time ago and the franchise probably just trying to save face by dragging it out.
Even if he came back he probably isnt in football shape and wont play as well as people hope for...
Amari Cooper very well might be the Jaguars 3rd overall pick to ensure that the team has a true #1 WR and weapon for the young devolping QB Bortles.
Gil said on NFLN that he feels Cooper will be the 3rd overall pick no matter what.
Why hasn't someone just asked Justin Blackmon what his intentions are?
Just ask him! Is there no reporter who will just go up to him and ask him?

i think JB is invisible now.he can appear and disappear at will.No knows wheres he's at
So basically we still don't know anything about anything concerning JB and his status, right?
JB cannot apply right now.
Quote:Why oh why couldn't he just stink as a player like nearly all the rest of Gene Smiths draft picks, especially from the early rounds.
This situation feels like Gene Smith's very last curse laid upon the fanbase. Blackmon is the football equivalent of getting cold sores from kissing that one hot chick that won't ever call you back. You know she won't call you ever, but you have a painful, constant reminder of those few, fleeting good times that you had.
I'm going to write something here that I would normally only write regarding that team from Tennessee or it's former mullet rockin' Head Coach. That's how upset I am about all of this:
Eat it Gene.

They just said on 1010XL this morning that Blackmon actually applied for reinstatement but was not granted it.
Speculation is that he either missed/no showed for a test or failed a test.
Sigh.

Who is they?
If it is Prosser, Hicken and Davis, wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
1010XL's most reliable source/reporter is now employed by the Rays
I believe JB is just about off the map, but until it's official.

The guy who does the updates every half hour or so.
With each passing day, it looks less and less likely Blackmon will ever play another down again.

They're assuming it wasn't granted because there's been nothing reported. There's also been nothing reported beyond that news brief regarding Blackmon applying for reinstatement. If it was denied, you'd think there would have been some notification from the league or the team.
All of this is coming from Mark Long. I'm pretty sure Blackmon must have denied him an interview or something because his reporting has almost come across as personal.
I think I'll wait until we get some sort of confirmation from the team on this. If it is true, so be it. The team has been working under the premise that he's not available, so the status quo would continue.

I had to read through 7 pages to finally see a post that I believe and makes sense.. Thanks FBT :thanks:
Quote:Actually, the new policy is just 12 months from receiving the banishment notice letter. The old policy must have had the 12 month incident free provision.
6 pages of speculation and we're finally getting somewhere. :thanks:
Do you know the date of the banishment letter?

That's the rub. We don't know if he was issued any sort of punishment for the arrest in July of last year. My guess is that he was, and that is the date that we need to be looking at for reinstatement. That puts his return somewhere around the end of July or early August. The incident occurred on what? 7/23? So, somewhere in that area would seem like the most logical time.frame.
This is why I think it's ridiculous to take anything Long is reporting as factual. I don't know what ax he has to grind with Blackmon, but he clearly doesn't like the guy and he makes that abundantly clear in the way he covers the situation. It's quite possible that Blackmon hasn't applied for reinstatement yet because he has to wait until the July/August window. We don't know.
What we do know is that the team has reported he was in rehab and that he was doing well in the program. We know that he has been approached by multiple fans and in each instance where he was asked, he expressed his intention to return to the game once the suspension is satisfied.
I've said it before and I'll reiterate it here again. I expect Blackmon to return once the suspension has been completed. When that is remains to be seen, but no matter when, he should wind up being reinstated between now and the start of training camp if it's going to happen (barring a failed or missed test, which is hopefully not the case). What happens once he's back on the field remains to be seen, but I don't think anyone is setting the bar very high for expectations once he's back, especially after missing this much time. It's going to be a long haul to get back into football shape for him.

seriously... all the more reason to get him back.
i can almost hear frangie stumbling around this one
frangie- "JB lines up in the slot."
FF-"JB disapears hablah blah balh and has poped up behind the coverage!!!!"
FF-"blah blah blah habuba bortles connects and Justin habeshesblah... Justin disappears again and has reapeared blahhablah in the endzone Tony!!!"
i would pay to here frangie deal with that one.
the real question would be, why doesn't JB use his powers to avoid cops while hes cheifin it up.

You speak Frangie very well. Don't forget.
