Quote:We went 4-4 down the stretch with Henne, didn't we? Add better field position by having a better defense among all of the other reasons I listed a few posts up and we could do better. Manziel in college threw an interception just about every game and the past two seasons he was supported by offensive tackles who will both be top 10 picks and a 6'6 receiver in Evans that nobody could cover. Do you think his small frame and running style, while also being a gunslinger is going to win us more games next year?

 

I definitely believe the key to the Jaguars winning games has to do with line play. One of the reasons the Panthers won was because of a stellar front 7, the best 4-3 in all of football this year. However, their offensive line stunk and limited what they could do offensively.

 

I don't think Henne is a bad QB, and I think the Dolphins where stupid to get rid of them for what they had, which is essentially a younger Chad Henne. However, if I'm anyone picking in the Top5 I'm not sold on Clowney. The guy is a freak athlete, no debating that, but he has a weak motor, and he disappeared this year no matter how you spin it. Julius Peppers was a monster when he was in Carolina, but his motor stopped for whole quarters. When he brought it no one could stop him though. You could get that with Clowney, or you could get something completely worse. 

 

If I'm an NFL GM I'm not sold on Clowney period. If I'm the Jags GM and you have to sell me a QB or Clowney I'm going with the safest QB pick, which IMO is Teddy. The only question about Bridgewater so far is that he's not thick for an NFL QB, that's pretty much it.
