Quote:Which QB would you rather Dave Caldwell have drafted D. Carr, Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Football Manziel, who?


I was shocked that the Jaguars drafted a QB with the 2nd overall pick because everyone kept saying how these QBs werent really 1st round picks to begin with but teams are desperate for that position and the Jaguars were at the top of the list.

(besides the Texans whom passed on Blake for injured Clowney) but when they picked him I was excited because we so badly want a great tough QB at the helm.

Everything Dave Caldwell has done has been similar to what us fans expected a team like the old Steelers... tough...

I think Blake will continue to improve in the off season and next year should be more exciting.

 

 

The statement of there not being any real 1st round talent was correct. Blake was never a first round talent. He still has the most to offer of the other guys in the class. It really should not be a surprise that Bortles has ups and downs, because he should not be playing. I do like Bortles, however I would not have taken him in the early first, (albeit QB is really the only acceptable position to draft too high).

 

I think Dave Caldwell's biggest failures as a GM have been in his first two selections, Joeckel was a safe pick and he is not a starting T in this league. Although Bortles was picked too high, it will only be forgivable if he develops into a great player, which is unlikely. Caldwell should have been more patient. If Dave had been patient, and taken better players, the Jags would still be looking at the Mariota sweepstakes right now, but would have better pieces in place to be more successful. I think Caldwell is the type of GM that forces players into their selection. The about inheriting the the jags when Caldwell did, was that he could have taken anybody because of how bad this team was, however I feel like he forced picking a QB for the sake of taking one.
