Should The Jaguars Be Actively Shopping Shorts Right Now, Like Cleveland Is Allegedly Doing With Josh Gordon?

He did a pretty good job of being Weedens only go to guy in college.

 

He has also been shown to draw consistent double teams and i dont think its any coincidence that Shorts hasnt done much this year in the 1st half of games when teams are working hard to lock him down. I have to agree with TMD on this one.

 

Shorts 2nd half so far:16 recs 231 yds

 

Shorts 1st half so far: 3 res 45 yards.

 

4th quarter : 12 rec 160 yards More than the other 3 quarters combined.

 

Also Blackmons physical play style is much less reliant on open space and certain matchups needing to be created. He doesnt need to be schemed into a big play tricking the safety or need various complimentary routes. In Basketball terms Shorts is the definition of a spot up shooter who needs a good PG and C to suck away defenders for open 3s whereas Blackmon is the type of player who can create his own shot when needed.

 

You can line Blackmon up anywhere on the field and run any route against any type of CB, LB or S and expect him to win the matchup.
