If Clowney is off the board at the #3 selection and Bridgewater remains then he should be our franchise QB. Henne will be released. Gabbert will be retained for his last contract year.


NH3...

Well, there's the Jets for one...

Draft a Franchise QB Please..


NH3...

If only it was that easy..........

Watkins at 3 would also be a soild choice if you can find a pass rusher in Free Agency.  Watkins, Blackmon, and Shorts in the slot could help a new young QB.

We should stop even listing Blackmon when we think of our WRs, for all intends and purposes he doesn't exist.

Blackmon's not playing this year.

Even if he does it will be the 9th game before he can play.He was suspended for a year.

He was suspended indefinitely with the ability to be reinstated before the season.

Add the Raiders


But then again...they're the Jets and Raiders. Past homes for JaMarmalade Russel and Tim Tebow.

Nothing official but I would not plan for him to be a part of the team anytime soon

Oh damn. I thought he was banned for the year, not a year. If that's the case, a WR must be on the teams radar. Aaaarghh...so many holes to fill, so little dirt.

Please quit with the draft the franchise QB. There is no franchise QB until a couple of seasons have past. Leftwich and Gabbert were labeled as such after their high draft pick.

I'm actually a big fan of the Seattle model. A team with a serviceable QB, beat a team with a " franchise " QB in the big show. Badly.

I think that may be Gus' plan , as long as Caldwell is on board.

Get Clowney, if available. QB in next round. I would never bet that Manzeil or Teddy are head and shoulders above Mettenberger or McCarron in 2-3 years.

This stuff must keep GMs up all night... The crapshoot they call the draft.

Except not everyone on this board agreed with those choices. I hated the Gabbert pick when it was made, (the trade just made it even more ridiculous), and I didn't like Leftwich, either.

Just in case you missed this regarding Blackmon.

Quote:Are any of these free agents  better than Henne, and  not costlier more than Henne?

 

From nfl.com:

Derek Anderson, Carolina Panthers 
Matt Cassel, Minnesota Vikings 
Jimmy Clausen, Carolina Panthers 
Kellen Clemens, St. Louis Rams 
Matt Flynn, Green Bay Packers 
Josh Freeman, Minnesota Vikings 
David Garrard, New York Jets 
Rex Grossman, Washington Redskins 
Chad Henne, Jacksonville Jaguars 
Shaun Hill, Detroit Lions 
Tarvaris Jackson, Seattle Seahawks 
Jon Kitna, Dallas Cowboys 
Josh McCown, Chicago Bears 
Luke McCown, New Orleans Saints 
Colt McCoy, San Francisco 49ers 
Dan Orlovsky, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 
Curtis Painter, New York Giants 
Jordan Palmer, Chicago Bears 
Brady Quinn, St. Louis Rams 
Rusty Smith, Tennessee Titans 
Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles 
Seneca Wallace, Green Bay Packers 
Charlie Whitehurst, San Diego Chargers

Well, I think Garrard might be better still and cost less, Hill is better but will probably cost more, McCoy is prob better and might cost the same (but not the same arm), Vick is better but will be much more costlier. McCown is better but will prob cost more, and Tavaris Jackson is better too. If this was a few years ago Kitna would be better. But then again if it was a few years ago we could call Todman off his tractor...

Hated him so bad you said he had the "IT" factor like Montana on another board, because you didn't want to dare say it here.

Was that post made pre draft? Nope. Leading into that draft I was 100% anti-Gabbert. Made posts about not understanding where the hype was coming from, and that his footage in college was weak. 

 

THat post you cite was an example of me falling into the Jags sponsored post-draft hype. And also by comparison of my posts about him,  was a nickel in a bucket of pennies. WOn't happen again. If I hate a player heading into the draft, I'll stay with that opinion, as my original instincts seem to be gold.

It's been suggested the Texans may pursue Cassel (O'Brien connection.)

I don't see anything in Hill that's any different than the others.  Whitehurst may be the darkhorse, but only in the sense that his name isn't necessarily the first that comes to mind (not because he's anything special.)  I don't particularly care for Wallace, but we're not talking a long term solution here.

 

But since we're talking short term, it all comes back to Henne for familiarity and affordability.  Though with every day he goes unsigned... they say they want him back but it hasn't yet happened.  Not sure what the hangup is.  He's got a better chance to start here, unless he'd rather be a backup for a contender.

Yup.  Jags fault for that.  The Jags you "love" so much... LOL

That is comedy gold.   When called out for flip flopping and being wrong... Blame the Jaguars.   LOL!!!!
