Quote:He drafted him to eventually replace Henne as the backup, and thought highly enough of him to use a roster spot on him all season. A full year to just learn without the pressure of having to start and save the franchise is enormous for the development of a QB.

 

Plus even last preseason, Allen seemed like a big of a gunslinger. Full of confidence and taking chances. That can often be easier to corral than to open a QB who is a bit gunshy. 

 

You can argue that the front office and coaching staff has so far been poor at judging or developing QB talent, but he would probably be the Jags' best chance if Bortles flames out. Unless Caldwell takes it on the chin and invites Cutler to camp.

Fix the O-Line!
