I still don't believe we have hit rock bottom yet.

Quote:Yeah, a guy one infraction away from an indefinite suspension has a ton of trade value.

 

Well we don't know what his value was, but if Caldwell didn't see what he could get then he wasn't doing his job well. I'm not saying trade him for a ham sandwich, but a decent deal may have been available, especially from a team that's hungry for WR like the Falcons or Patriots.

Quote:This franchise is an absolute and utter disgrace.  Pathetic.  They SHOULD move to London.

 

The actions of one player does not implicate the entire franchise, regardless of how good or bad the product on the field is. (just ask Hernandez and the Patriots)

is this a Jaguars suspension or a NFL? I thought if it was a NFL, it was a full 1 year ban.

Quote:Hes eligible to reinstated prior to the 2014 season, but who knows if Caldwell will want to keep him around. He wont have any trade value and he has too much talent to be cut IMO. Talent like his will get u 3rd and 4th chances around this league. Im guessing he will be playing for us still next year.

 

I still don't want him released. 

 

But he's got to get serious help now. This is horrible. 

Quote:Gotta be kidding me.

 

.......

Quote:So, who thinks it's a good idea to have traded him a couple of weeks ago now?

 

I doubt anybody was trading for him

Teams do not trade picks for second year players with two infractions against him.

YOU should move to London.

I can't fault the current regime for this one. This mess is on Gene. Could've stayed put and drafted Kuechly or S. Gilmore, but no. Gene had to bank on talent over character for once his stinking career and draft a guy who can't stay off the sauce.

 

Also, fixed that page for Wikipedia:

So about us not losing on our bye week........yeah.

Quote:I doubt anybody was trading for him

 

And I still wouldn't want him traded. 

 

I just want him to finally get over this. For good. 

<b>STATEMENT BY JAGUARS GENERAL MANAGER DAVID CALDWELL</b><b>:</b>

“All of us who are a part of the Jaguars family care very deeply about Justin and his well-being. That said, he must be held accountable and accept the consequences announced today by the NFL. His suspension will provide him the opportunity to receive the attention and professional treatment necessary to overcome his challenges, and we will support him during this time. The Jacksonville Jaguars will evaluate Justin's status once he has successfully met the criteria to be considered for reinstatement to the league.”

To quote the article:

 

"has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse."

 

That sounds like an NFL suspension to me. Does anyone suspect it had something to do with that unconfirmed story of an NFL player ending up in hospital in London?

Quote:I still don't want him released.

I don't want him released either, but if his is released, I would understand it.

I guess add WR to the list of needs

Quote:He's done.  He has played his last game as a Jaguar.

 

  One thing for sure,   how can the Jaguars count on Justin Blackmon moving forward???   

 

  I don't envy the situation that Dave Caldwell and Gus Bradley are in.     As difficult as it is for loyal and passionate Jaguars fans to see the team in the current situation,   Caldwell and Bradley deserve an opportunity to truly build this team into a winner.

Like I said, we'll never know if Caldwell tried to trade him. Unless, that is, you're Caldwell or his wife or a team he tried to trade him to. Either way it's disappointing and precisely the reason why I said the Jaguars would be smart to see if they could get something for him while he was coming off a couple of big games.
