Jaguars Don't Sign QB Malik Ziare
|
Who says he will even play QB? Maybe they are trying him out at an other position?

BCC says they "signed" him.
However, Malik says he is a camp invite only. Invites don't have contracts.

Again, the BCC report appears to be inaccurate. He has NOT been signed, so Zaire can't be "cut." He's yet to earn a contract. He'll have that chance in camp as a camp invite.
We'll see how long it takes them to correct their "article." https://twitter.com/MalikZaire8/status/9...9378195459

Lee will be a camp arm that they will be judging if he is worth trying to develop. His best case scenario is practice squad QB. Sadly, Zaire has zero shot of even competing with Lee for that practice squad spot.

They signed Ziare to practice defense against an athletic QB, and signed Lee to practice defense against a strong arm QB. They apparently have a lot of faith in Kessler.

There is no undrafted QB out there that's going to challenge Bortles in camp. Late round QBs are drafted (or signed) because they have a couple of attributes that project well, they have a bit of experience, and they haven't killed anyone lately. You're reading into this too much. If the team really wanted to replace Bortles, they would have had to pursue Cousins. If they'd done that, they would almost certainly have had to cut another key contributor or two. I am no fan of Blake Bortles, but I'm even less a fan of gutting your team to fill one position that, really, isn't all that broken. Don't forget how good Bortles was for a while there, and don't forget that he was good enough to get us to the conference championship game. Give him a couple new toys at wideout and a tight end that can break one, and maybe he's good enough to go to the Super Bowl. You keep forgetting about Cody Kessler. He managed to look competent on the Browns. The Browns. I think there's more to his future here than being the next Chad Henne. (05-01-2018, 09:47 AM)Dimson Wrote: Who says he will even play QB?

There's no way he can put on 70 and acclimate himself to the Center Position in a 4 month period. It's gonna take him at least 9 to 12 months to get there.

LOL...
So camp has come and gone, and Zaire was not offered a contract. Never signed, and BCC never corrected their article. Par for their course.

Big difference between a player under contract (signed) and a "tryout" player or camp invite. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
Ill be stunned if we carry more than 2 QBs on our roster next year. And I give Lee a 50/50 shot of making practice squad.

Why aren't we picking up Ryan Mallett or Dan LeFevour. Just watch Bill O'Brien pick them up and make the Superbowl |
