Jaguars will NOT release Justin Blackmon upon reinstatement


Quote:It's a vengeance mentality.

 

"Justin let me down and we must have revenge. It doesn't matter if it isn't in our best interest, we must act with spite. We must have our pound of flesh."
 

Naw, I don't think that's how posters are thinking.  It's not about revenge.  It's more about fool me once, shame... Shame on you?  Fool me we don't get fooled again" type of mentality.  Which is totally acceptable.

 

I have no doubt that Justin will not be the player everyone wants him to be.  He's a bust, not because he doesn't have talent.  But because he has mental issues.  Either way, he's not going to be the player we all want him to be. 

 

So yeah, I'm not projecting anything positive of him.  Some people want to just cut bait because they know the outcome.  It's a totally rational concept.  If a person thinks the pain of watching him fail again is more painful than letting him go now, it's understandable.

 

At the end of the day, the outcome is probably gonna be the same.  He's not gonna be what we invested into him.  We traded up to get him.  He's not worth it.  He may be, but he's not right now.

 

He probably won't be.  So what's the difference?  The difference is the hope that he still possesses versus dropping him.  Right now, the hope is still of zero cost.  At some point soon the cost will outweigh the hope.  Once that happens, you drop Justin.  

 

We're not there yet.  I'm hoping he figures it out before the cost outweighs the hope.
