From Mike DiRocco ESPN Jacksonville Jaguars reporter:

That's good to hear.  He is a solid backup and could start the first few games of the season if needed after we draft our new QB.

Quote:The Jaguars are likely going to take a quarterback at some point in the upcoming draft -- it’s looking more and more like it won’t be at No. 3, though
 

 Hopefully Texans take a QB and Rams take Matthews or Watkins and I would be more than happy if we don't take a QB at 3 and take Clowney

In the article, DiRocco seems to think that it's looking more and more like we won't be drafting a QB at #3. Clowney perhaps? Barr? Watson? I think we may trade down given the opportunity.

Sounds like an empty statement from DiRocco.

You smoking the blue stuff?

you saying Clowney wont be there at 3?

Henne is awful, even as a backup. Half his stats came late in the game after the contest had already been decided. His only value to this team is that he is better than Gabbert. That's not a ringing endorsement. I hope they review enough tape to see every batted ball, buckle under pressure, throw in the dirt and three-and-out. Enough to steer them away from re-signing him. I have seen enough of him, just like the Dolphins who burned a 2nd round pick on him and let him walk. He has peaked. And it is unimpressive.

Why is it empty if they re-sign Henne? They might see some promise in one of the Senior Bowl QBs. So, they may be able to trade back or take BAP at #3.

because he wants Teddy so its an empty statement

I saw improvement. He exceeded my expectations considering he had no weapons and substandard protection.

Gabbert is under contract. He can hand the ball off and throw for a first down. Henne can, too.

 

I wonder if quarterback is a push?

Puke.

Gabbert can throw for a first down? I must of missed it

It took Gabbert three starts to get it past the 50 yrd line.

If we re-sign Henne......is Gabbert a goner? I can't see them keeping both.

Lol,,,,, so true.

I think so.   If we re-sign Henne, Gabbert will be released right after we draft another QB.   We'll go with Henne, a draft pick, and someone for the practice squad.  No room for Gabbert in that scenario.

I'm saying if given the opportunity the draft either Teddy or Clowney, I'd choose Teddy everytime with the Jaguars current circumstances in mind.

I agree that if we re-sign Henne, Gabbert is pretty much gone.  I know some people who say they saw improvement in Henne over the season.  I feel the team around him got better, but his play didn't get significantly better.  Caldwell says he looks for anticipation, decision making and accuracy in a QB.  None of these, to me, is a particular area of strength for Henne.  He finished with 13 TDs and 14 INTs.  That's pedestrian.  I'm sorry.  And I cannot ignore the fact that he disappeared for long stretches in pretty much every game.  I think he is an average backup and a sub-par starter.  Just my opinion.
