Quote:If you think like that, you'll only lengthen your rebuilding process on offense. Young guys like Cecil will be in his prime or entering it by the time Bridgewater is ready to enter his.

 

As for simply finding another one, even the greatest GMs can strike out multiple times at a position. We saw that almost every year with Bill Polian after Reggie Wayne was drafted. 

 

You have an offense that will be terrifyingly similar to the Atlanta Falcons when Bridgewater gets here. Don't mess it up by trading off a young guy for a few picks that likely won't amount to anything near what Cecil Shorts has become.

 

It makes no sense to remove one puzzle piece, then place the hardest piece right next to it.

 

Just my opinion.

 

 

Look, if it works out that the Jags can still get Bridgewater, and still have Shorts & Blackmon on the roster then, yeah, I'd be thrilled with that..

 

I am just trying to do whatever we have to do to ensure that we get Teddy, because I think he has the kind of ability plus football smarts & work ethic to be a special QB in this league.  As long as the Jags land Teddy....whether Shorts is still here or not isn't as important....Teddy will make his replacement effective. 

 

To take it further....

 

add in development by Ace Sanders, and then he's your "T.Y. Hilton" cog of the offense for Bridgewater. The only thing missing would be the playmaking/ yards in chunks receiving TE - which Marcedes will never be. I'd like for the Jags to find their version of Jimmy Graham/ Witten/ Julius Thomas/ etc etc.
