Quote:Why not?  You do it all the time.  I actually believe the team would take a top 10 pick if offered for Justin Blackmon.  I'm smart enough to know it won't happen.  Do you understand the difference?  If you're as smart as you tell everyone you are, then you would grasp the point, and you'd agree. 

 

No you don't 

 

You really have no idea of the value of this player do you? 

 

As said before Blackmon not only is quickly proving to be the real deal at WR, and practically uncoverable - a guy who is a legit threat to score every time he gets the ball, at any point on the field,...but he also has that quality that so few have - he helps make the players around him better. 

 

With Blackmon on the other side taking the defensive focus - Shorts and Mike freaking Brown are able to have 100 yard games with Henne & Gabbert throwing the ball for Gods sake...When Blackmon is out, It really doesn't matter what WR are in there, they don't perform the same. 

 

Plus, Blackmon is also valuable to this franchise in another way as he's the first player since MoJo that actually has marketability. This player gives the Jags an identity -  Shorts aint doing that, nor are any other Jags WR doing that. The likelyhood of getting another WR with a pick obtained from any Blackmon trade is also very unlikely to duplicate that....

 

You are simply wrong here.
