Quote:Teddy though would of been a huge reach was a need at that time.  I am a strong believer if you need a qb.  You take one that you feel will work in the system regardless.  Providing is not a example 3rd rounder in the first round.  Agree on Johnny.  (however at that time he fooled many including me)   And Carr was wrong on.  While I have not lost faith in Blake.  Without true competition he will never get better nor improve.  

 

Too many coordinators and no competition.  To see what he is doing wrong.  He would of been perfect for a team that had a real qb for him to groom.  Or learn from.  Those saying Chad has no influence.  While that is debatable.  2 qbs same result.  How long does just a coincidence excuse last? 

 

  It would be interesting to see what the Jaguars 2014 Draft Board looked like.  Would be Jaguars been better off making a similar trade with the Bills that the Browns made with pick # 4 instead of using pick # 3 on Blake Bortles?   With the intentions of taking Teddy Bridgewater with pick # 9 or trading down from that spot?    Was Bridgewater's knee injury a freak occurrence or was inevitable?   Difficult questions to answer.   This in addition to the decision to pass on Khalil Mack,  which many Jaguars fans understandably disagreed with. 

 

 Like I expressed in another thread,  my gut feeling is that Chad Henne isn't holding Blake Bortles back.   It seems noticeably more likely that the issues are both coaching related ( starting at the top ) and Bortles himself not doing enough to maximize his potential.    This beyond Bortles more likely than not dealing with a significant injury that's adversely affected his mechanics.
