"Do-overs" and hindsight are fool's errands.

You never make a desperate move for a QB.  Never.  Again, you measure risk and reward and do not pay a penny more.  Draft, develop, repeat.  Great QBs are drafted and developed, they aren't created by Free Agency spending.

Desperation is how franchises implode - desperation that leads to poor decisions.

And again... same goes for life decisions.  Stacking poor decisions on poor decisions results in perpetual suffering.  Good decisions made consistently result in long term success.  Some can't wait long enough for success to gain momentum, so they cut themselves off at the knees and never succeed.  They chase short term "gains" that end up setting themselves back in the long run.

I don't know if you were around here (or there, if you consider the board has since moved from the jaguars site,) but there were several posters here who wanted us to take Geno Smith with our first rounder.  So... no, O'brien.  You CAN pay too high a price for a "franchise" QB.

It's not about the cost, it's about the quality of decision making.

First of all I've been posting on this board since I was 20 (I'm 36 now) You can say I "Bombed" out., but yeah I remember that.. also remember people on this site clambering for Teddy Bridgewater.
 

If you don't have a franchise QB then more often than not you don't have a shot in Hades at winning a title. This division will always be open simply because the Jags don't..it was closed for a decade when the Colts had one (Peyton )..see the difference? See the importance?

Yes you can win alot of games with a great defense, but that only gets you so far...i've personally seen that movie too. Without that guy behind center your chances of consistently ccompeting are slim. Division is wide open and why do you think divisional opponents feel this way? Bortles..I hate to say it.

Whatever we eventually had to pay for Watson, it was worth it. Sorry but it was. Franchise QBs make a difference.
