Quote:I think people are not listening to the GM and they're setting an awfully high bar for their expectations related to when any rookie QB, if we draft one, would take the reins and become the starter.

 

I would love to see the team draft a QB at #3 or #39, and to see that QB holding a clipboard for as long as he possibly can.  I'd much rather be forced to wait to see him succeed, than to throw him into the mix too soon and wind up with Gabbert 2.0. There isn't a QB in this draft who I would think is "plug and play" material.  Each one has issues that will need to be addressed, and I'd much rather see that handled before he takes over and not hope it will click for him somewhere down the road.

 

I wouldn't hate to see a rookie QB on clipboard duty for his first season.  My prediction of a rookie starting (at some point in his first year)  has more to do with my opinion that he could legitimately push Henne for his job by midseason.  It's wild speculation at this point - but I think there are a few QBs in this class capable of doing so. 

 

Also - for those kicking around the idea of the Jags putting off drafting a QB early until 2015  -  Caldwell sure doesn't sound so inclined.

He was a junior who we didn't know if he was going to come out or not but we had an inkling late in the season so we were able to see him. Was very productive at Wyoming and is an interesting prospect. But i'd say total, we'll probably look at 18-22 quarterbacks this year before the draft."
