Quote:I highlighted the key phrase of your OP, and you're 100% correct. The Jaguars have never been in this position. All the players we hated passing on have all been in hindsight. "If we only knew", "if only this quarterback had been more well-known or widely considered worthy of a top 10 pick". 

 

Vino's right, there's no hindsight here. Manziel's been the best player in college football for 2 years now. He's the most popular, statistically the best, and at this point, if there's any 'consensus' number 1 QB in the draft, he's the closest we're going to get this year.

 

I myself can only think to compare this year to 2011, when there was a now silly but at the time very serious rumor that Panthers were actually considering passing on Cam Newton. If they had, it'll probably still be a punchline against their franchise to this very day. In fact if any of you need a good laugh, go back and do a google search for the 2011 mock drafts that don't have Carolina taking Cam at 1, the arguments sound hilariously or perhaps terrifyingly similar to arguments made on these boards for the Jags to pass on Manziel.
