Those are the drives that define a QB, and he FAILED. He is NOT the answer for this team,  I do not think a "serviceable" QB is going to cut it anymore. The Jags front office needs to be bold and go get this team a QB that can win.

He didnt fail. Many times this season he brought us back only to have somthing not of his control ruin it. The JETS game he did a game winning drive which ended in a pass to 4net for a TD(a fantom holding called ruled it out) Then in arizona he drives us down the field and puts a perfect pass into Lees hands would be in Field goal range to win the game(lee drops it), In san fransico after the defense gave up all those points he brought us back to give us  a chance to win( one bad read by him for int cost us). and lets not forget pittsburg. Its not that he failed its the coaches. What you want is a Brady Breese Ben madden type to sling the football. It aint gonna happen. You half to look at this team and especiialy the coaches and who they are. Even if you get cousins or smith or draft a top QB that throws good. The coaches game plans are not going to change. They do not curtail the playcalling because of bb5, That is their playcalling and style. You bring in cousins he will still only pass 20 % of the time it will be run run pass its who marone and hackett are. they do not have a high powered passing attack. BB5 is more then just a serviceable QB and will continue to get better.

Hey, JF88 - a paragraph or two wouldn't hurt, lol. But I did want to address a point you made, which was a good one.

Would Coughlin/Marrone be willing to even think about changing their offense philosophy? If not, why would a QB with the style of a Cousins even want to come here? I think we're looking at a "game-manager" style QB for the foreseeable future - Bortles or whomever.
