Quote:The problem is you cannot make that guarantee of a franchise QB.  If you could, then your point would be valid. You might "guess" he will be a franchise QB, but the Jaguars wins now are better than your guessing how one player's NFL Career will turn out. What if he blows a knee game 2? Never takes another snap.

Would a 2-14 season, fan apathy, lost ticket sales, have been worth it?

It's a gamble we cannot take, would not take, and if our GM is worth his salt we will get our Franchise QB regardless. Who also may blow out a knee game 2.

There are no guarantees Dog.

You take the wins and draft slot when and where it comes.

 

Wait, so you're saying that it's too much of a gamble to take a QB like Teddy or Carr with the first pick because they might blow out their knee?  You do realize that the percentage of DE's taken in the top 10 who end up being worth their pick is less than half that of the QB's right?  In other words, you're more likely to hit on a QB at the top of the draft than you are a DE.
