If the Jags sign that guy and don't draft a QB early - I'll seriously shift from being the most harcore fan to a very casual observer until TC and Caldwell are both run out of town.  That would be a grave error. 

Now if they sign him and draft a guy - then the drafted guy will just end up starting by week four. 
It'll still be stupid, but not as stupid. Maybe I'd still attend games. 

Signing Taylor would be operating from the same mindset that made them double down on Bortles and they damn well better know that was a dumb move by now.

(not attacking you - just dislike that players skill set)

Fair enough - it's not that I think Tyrod Taylor is that good, but at least he doesn't turn the ball over like Bortles did and he would fit into the run-first mentality of TC.  Not that I think that is the best strategy in a pass-first league, but Taylor fills in until Haskins/Lock/Grier are ready or they wait until 2020 to draft their QB.  

The problem the Jags have had is always trying to reach for that one guy to put them over the top, instead of letting the draft fall to them like the Steelers/Patriots do.  I'm more concerned about long-term success than going for broke for one season.

I hear you.

This crop of QBs has to give you some pause about reaching for a guy out of need. 

I personally feel the top three candidates could all represent an easy upgrade to the position for the Jags. 
But yes, there is danger they may not be ready to start early on and there may be better candidates next year. 
In a perfect world - I'd love a trade down to take a QB like Grier in the mid first and gain extra picks to round out the line, TEs and receivers. 

Wouldn't have to prevent another QB pick in 2020 if the 2019 draft pick isn't showing the progress they want. 
Though it would make taking one there a bit less likely.
