You can't trade him back to Cleveland, can you?

So what you're telling me is we got a backup QB? Weird. I mean, I know the jaguars were looking to bring in a backup QB, so it's crazy that we traded a conditional 7th rounder for exactly what we were looking for. Right?

Post-season taught us we were a quarterback away. Off-season we pledged to upgrade QB. Mention A. J. McCarron's name and the flustered gator feathers started bawking and bawking. Yes. the Jaguars could have advanced the mission to upgrade QB by signing McCarron to bring the heat to Bortles' cold cold feet. Nothing doing.

So funny the mission to upgrade QB is now accomplished by bringing in a guy who would be A. J. McCarron's Brownie back-up, if the NFL hadn't nixed the Bengals gaining the Browns' second and third round picks.

So the Bortles supporters scoffed at A. J. McCarron coming to Jacksonville to compete for the starting QB job because he's not good enough to challenge Bortles. He's just a back-up.

But McCarron was good enough to cost the Browns a second and third round pick. And we were told that's just the Browns incompetent ways at QB.

So now the Jaguars are fired up their position with QBs knowing they've secured a guy who would have been McCarron's clipboard holder in Cleveland.

That's one big fat plate of crow to swallow.
