Why is it unlikely the Jags will give him a 2nd contract?  Dave and Tom are gone now

If we just wanted a speedster that we could use as a weapon, we could have taken Rondale Moore, Shi Smith, Elijah Moore or several other players later in the draft. All are even faster than Etienne. ESPN stated that Meyer said he drafted Etienne without even knowing how he was gonna use him. Who does that? Drafting a RB in round 1 is never a good idea, especially when your O-Line is crap and we've all known for years that our O-Line is among the worst in the NFL. Our starting OT's gave up the most pressures of any other tandem in the league in 2020, by a large margin. People aren't criticizing Meyer for not foreshadowing the injury, they are criticizing him for drafting a RB in round 1, even though he admittedly didn't know how he was gonna use him. Now, he isn't gonna be used at all this season. That pick should've been used on something we actually needed like another O-Lineman or a TE, not a "weapon" that you didn't even know how you were gonna use.

Give me Etienne over any of those you names other than Elijah Moore .
