We'll see. I think there is a strong chance he will be traded. There are teams out there that could use him in some capacity. And if he's not traded, I believe he will walk after his contract. I don't think he will stay and be a backup in the Jacksonville when he could potentially have a chance as a better shot somewhere else as a potential starter. There could be an opportunity for him to start in different situations. Like a team who has a QB that retires, but is still competitive enough not to have a top QB pick. 

Even something like being a bridge QB somewhere else would be better than him being glued to the bench in Jacksonville. And at worst case scenario he could be a backup on a better team. He'll still be young when his rookie deal is up and he is nowhere near as bad as a lot of Jags fans/medai are trying to make him out to be (largely because they want another QB like Trevor Lawrence or Justin.) He still could have a decent shot with another team.

More like Doug has never cared for him much IMO and is being petty on his way out. Gardner was originally sat for his injury and I think it made a big enough impact to affect his game. But we may never know that for sure since Doug has continued to sit him. Gardner was originally supposed to get this whole season as a starter. And his injury that is now healed shouldn't prevent him from playing the rest of these games. Especially since Mike hasn't won any of the ones he started, and I could make the argument that if Gardner were playing the team beats the Vikings today. I don't buy that Doug really think that Mike is that much better than Gardner or really better than him at all. But he wants to punish Gardner, even though the team won't be any better off with Mike (and possibly worse off) with him.

I'm tired of Doug for multiple reasons and his treatment towards Gardner who has played hard for this team and wants to be a Jag, is a big one. I hope that the team won't have to worry about Doug and his poor decision makings as a coach next season, regardless of what happens regarding the QB situation.

I’m glad you said that.  It seems like Gardner got shafted to a degree.  That or they’re pissed he didn’t disclose his injurie or they are saying [BLEEP] you by trying to screw the organization on the way out.  If the last is true, then they should have started Glennon in the first place.  Idk what’s happened in the past few weeks, but the team is playing different.  A good different.  But you should have had them there the whole year.
