Poll: If Caldwell is fairly confident that Winston is much better than Bridgewater should the Jags draft a different position and tank another season for Jameis?
Yes, long-term dominance is worth another season like this.
No, we can't field such a depressing team two seasons in a row.
Draft Bridgewater this year, but still tank the season for Winston.

Quote:When you say "Newton now, or Luck next year" (assuming that you are right, of course.  Maybe it's Luck this year, or Luck next year.  Or maybe it's Luck this year, or Newton Next year) you also have to take into consideration: Peyton neck injury.

 

Maybe next year Tom Brady suffers a career ending injury.  Patriots without their WR's go 0-16.  They get the 1st pick.  Or maybe Drew Brees gets injured and the Saint's go winless.  Maybe we even face a potential 0-16 team, and go 1-15.

 

Panthers pass on Newton, and then fail to get Luck and they're not in very good shape.  
 

It's always a guess, but the premise here is that Winston is a 'sure thing' franchise prospect like Elway or Luck, while Bridgewater is a consensus #1 pick but not a 'sure thing.' Peyton Manning was in that category, so there's always that chance. But so was Bradford.


 

There's alway a risk that the Jags don't play bad enough in 2014 to get the 2015 pick. However, they ARE being compared to the '76 Bucs who did suck enough in '77 to get the #1 pick in '78 (which they traded). If the Jags wanted to, they could build another 0-16 team for 2014.
