Quote:I don't think anyone is being naive. let's look at the facts. Blackmon is still a Jaguar. He is under contract. When compared to other players who have had similar altercations, He should be reinstated sometime this season. At worst, by the beginning of next season. The guy WILL get another chance. Whether it's here or not remains to be seen, but he will have one last bite at the apple.

 

If he makes the most of it, it would be great. If not, well, the team isn't any worse off than it is at the time I post this.

 

I disagree. The Jaguars without Blackmon are in a worse situation than the Jaguars with Blackmon by a considerable margin. Blackmon is an elite, elite talent that a franchise only stumbles upon once every ten or so years. The last guy we drafted like that was Fred in 98' so about a 16 year gap. He isn't somebody that you can just plug in and replace.
