Quote:I don't care what you naysayers think. I'm going to hold out hope that he will return by 2015 at the latest and will resume playing at a very high level. 

 

Now he's got something to come back to. 

 

 

Go ahead and be hopeful all you want, I'm not stopping you but I think expecting him to play another down for the Jaguars (or anyone for that matter) is ridiculous.  The kid needs to get help and so far it doesn't appear he's doing that.  I wish Justin Blackmon the best in whatever he does in the future but I don't see him being a Jaguar ever again. Call me whatever you want, I'm just being honest and calling it how I see it.  He hasn't shown me anything that says "Yep, he'll get it straight and be back at a high level!" the guy can't stay clean.  It happens and if that's how he wants to live his life then so be it.
