The management of this team is so damn stubborn and has really weird evaluations.

They make zero moves at QB.

They trade for a just-about-washed-up-LT and draft a second LT in second round.  And that's it. Cann has underperformed at guard. Linder is good but not great. We don't have a second guard.  Parnell is average.

This offseason screamed for better o lineman and some sort of competition at QB.

Hold on.

1)  When have we ever seen Bortles throw FIVE (5) picks in one practice or game?

2)  Which QBs were available to be had? If you are going to talk NFL free agents/vets, who would have definitively turned this team around?  Cutler?  Kaep?  Romo? Osweiler?  What rookies would have made a difference this year?

3)  What in their prime stud LTs were available to be had?  Would you rather the team have spent the #4 overall pick on a LT in this year's draft?  Would you rather the team to have traded up into the bottom of the 1st round to take one of the other Ts (who may or may not have been viable LTs?)  Yes this offseason screamed for OL, but this was widely regarded as a very weak OL class.

I was there.  I know there were things in last night's practice that were disturbing for those of us who support the Jaguars.

But it is just one practice.

Bortles has been an inaccurate, turnover prone loser for 3 years. Vegas has him as the odds on favorite to throw the most pics this year and that was before this performance. And you are disagreeing with me because he's never thrown 5 before in a practice. Splitting hairs too finely.

What QB would turn this team around? Who can ever answer that question definitively? There was no A grade options but there were plenty of guys you could have drafted. Are you saying that there is not a single playoff level QB in the 2017 draft? Cause that seems unlikely. But they could have easily got someone better than Henne to push Bortles.

O line is more than LT. We should have signed a stud guard and drafted multiple quality guys. We had multiple guys sitting there that would have been value picks and we went other directions. Like backup strong side end. Or 4th string WR. Maybe those picks work for us. But it sure seems like our team is stubborn with QB and o line.

We agree it's one practice. I don't expect to see that many pics again. Maybe I'm overreacting.
