Quote:I am guessing Cleveland is really trying to stockpile draft choices this year, in the effort to get "their" QB. I am thinking they have their eye on Bridgewater since their current regime prefers a QB with ability to connect downfield routinely. 

 

Should the Jags be countering this with by shopping Cecil? He's the same NFL experience i.e. 2 years, and is probably similar to Gordon in ability, if not a bit less. 

 

If the Jags miss out on Bridgewater because of all the Cleveland stockpiling of draft choices, will it have been worth it to not have tried to stockpile our own draft choices? Our team is probably in worse roster shape than Clevelands is, and Cleveland apparently has no problem still trading young players away. 

 

Why do we hold onto ours like they are gold or something, despite our team sucking for years?? 

 

We never seem to stockpile draft choices and instead always play it safe and steady and all we do is never improve. 

Because good players ARE gold, TMD. That's exactly what they are. I usually can agree with you on most things, but Cecil doesn't have anywhere near the trade value compared to how valuable he is to the team.

 

Here's a better question; at what point do you stop trading away developed talent, and simply keep them and let them play? Cecil is young enough to be apart of future plans. Trading him will not be the catalyst of whether we land Bridgewater or not.

 

Being young doesn't make a good team. Being good makes a good team.
