Caldwell's comments at the combine

#1

I saw a schedule earlier that had Caldwell talking about the Jaguars for 15 minutes or so at the draft - anybody know what he said?

He said that he loves Manziels competitiveness and that Luke Jockel wants him to be a Jaguar.


A lot of people talk about Manziel’s arm strength negatively, but I don’t see why. He has a very strong arm. From what I’ve seen, in terms of pure arm strength, I’d put him second above Bridgewater
and behind Mariota. He is able to throw the ball for chunks of yardage at a time through the air, and honestly he could probably throw it a whole lot further if he put his weight behind it (he has footwork issues which I’ll address later). One thing I was also pleasantly surprised with was his touch. He knows how to control the arc of the ball pretty well, but it’s not fantastic. I would also put him second in this category, with Mariota at third (Bridgewater is far and away the best touch passer in the country.) Anyway, I digress. He is also, as you can see from the statistics, very accurate. 80% accuracy against the best team in the country isn’t normal. It’s very good.

That's a good point I wonder if Joeckel has given Dave any insight into Johnny Manziels work ethic etc.

Naw, Luke just doesn't want to wrestle his old team mate Jake Matthews naked in the showers.

Where did you get that idea from? Luke Joeckel knows because he is a Jaguar, if we had to pick one of his college teammates, it would be Johnny Manziel, not Jake Matthews.

I think it was sarcasm... Either way I highly doubt we'd draft Matthews

One or two, on occasion.

The ones on this board aren't so bad. The ones under the bridge are a different story.

Only an idiot would draft Jake Matthews a year after picking his former teammate.

Using your logic, I guess the Jaguars should just disband each year and start from scratch?

 

After all, the entire roster is made up of team mates.

From T.U.

 

 

Quote:Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell told the Times-Union today the team has met with 10 quarterbacks this weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine. That group includes the Big Three passers: Central Florida’s Blake Bortles, Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater and Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel. The interviews lasted 15 minutes apiece. “They were all solid; they did a nice job,” Caldwell said of the Big Three while walking out of Lucas Oil Stadium. Including the six Senior Bowl quarterbacks, that means the Jaguars have met with 16 draft eligible passers.

I don't know.  I'd guess McCarron, Mettenberger, Murray,  Savage, Shaw, Vaughn and Wenning.  Those are pretty much all the invited QBs that aren't mentioned in that article.

They would have spoken with Murray at the Senior Bowl though. Is that QB from Wyoming (Smith?) at the Combine?

I don't believe that Brett Smith was invited to the Combine which is a little disappointing.
