I wish we could graph out Jags fans happiness with Shorts during his tenure with the team. It'd read crazier than the stock market. First he was a bust who should be cut, then he was a great late round find, then he was a great, young, #1 WR, then he started complaining about not getting the ball and all of a sudden he was overrated, then he was a glorified #2, then he wasn't even a #2 but a guy who stat padded, then he was a great #2 who along with Blackmon was going to help Bortles out, and now he's one of the worst WR's in the league. Even more impressive, Shorts managed to run through all those emotions in just 4 seasons.

 

I think he definitely played himself off the team this year, but he put in the effort for the team. I won't knock the guy for trying. I thought he was generally overrated by the board for most of his tenure and disliked a lot of what he said in the press, but, at least the guy wasn't arrested or suspended like most of the Jags starting WR's lately. And he made some nice catches in his time in Duval. Time for him to go try to redeem his career somewhere else though.
