Kap - gone
Ragland - gone
Alex Smith - gone
Drew Brees - gone
Tomlinson - gone

Now don't get me wrong, sometimes certain situations forces teams to move players. Bc it's not like Brees, etc can't play.

But when you hold on to the Leftwich's, Gabbert's, and Bortles' of the world, it sets a team back for several years.

We didn't hold onto Leftwich too long, he was benched and cut after barely losing the QB battle in pre-season

Gabbert was wayy too long but the bigger crime and same with Bortles is that there is no fallback option. Rush, Kizer, Mahomes might only be pre-season studs and you can find a list of reasons not to take QB's because it's a high failure rate but you have to bid if you want to win the Jackpot

The Jags had a back-up plan (albeit Tom's back-Up plan) in Garrard who was a 4th rounder, taken in Brunell's Prime
