Quote:Like I said. A good QB will take you to the dance, a great supporting cast will make you prom king.

 

The Jaguars have two huge needs, one at DE and one at QB. This is precisely why I don't knock anyone for wanting Bridgewater. Our methods are different, but our results are the same if you're looking at DE in the 2nd round. I'd end up looking for a QB in the 2nd round, and possibly trading down with one of my 3rd rounders.to get who I want.

 

And as others have said, there will never be another Clowney. If you find another guy 10 years from that weighs in a 6'6 250lbs, runs a 4.4, and has displayed a good amount of field intelligence on game day, let me know. Sometimes, even a QB selection can wait behind a player like that. Ask the Raiders.

But as good as Clowney "may" be, he will not the reason we win a SB. It will be about the QB. Unless we have a Chicago, Balt (2000) or TB type defense, we won't win a SB with an average QB. The last 11 QBs to play in the SB from the AFC are Brady, Ben, Manning and Flacco.

 

Trust me, I get how good Clowney is. He is a freak and the best DE prospect to come into the league in the last 10-15 years. But if you tell me that Teddy will be a franchise QB I take him because those are rare to come by. We can play good defense without and elite DE (Seattle is doing it right now) but you can not sustain a good offense without a franchise QB.
