The dude is gone. There aren’t many teams out there in need of a QB so maybe these FA QBs won’t be as expensive since they’re not in demand. Draft Haskins.

Try and be like the Steelers when Ben was a rookie. Then hope Haskins can begin to carry the team on his own like Ben.

I guess you don't read.

The college QBs aren't starting day one, they aren't good enough. If the Jags don't over spend on Foles, the rest of the QBs are the same or worse than Blake.

So what is the plan if they don't get Foles? They have to find a way to win now with Blake since there is a good chance he is still the starter at the beginning of the season. Unless the plan is to tank and draft another QB next draft also.

Lol “can’t read”. Ok.

If they can’t get Foles? I don’t know.... get someone else? Why do you think Foles would succeed here? It appears the only time he plays well is under Andy Reid or a Reid disciple. That’s not Marrone.

And YOU may not think Haskins can start right away but I actually think he can. Time will tell I guess.

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.

I mean you can’t put all the eggs in the 2020 basket. What if Tua and Fromm stay in school? Then what? The Jags would have punted in 2019 and 2020. So it’s in to 2021 with no young QB on the roster? Seems suspect.
