I'm not saying don't do it ever.

 

I'm saying be careful who you draft and sign.

Because that is the risk you take.

 

Can't get all choir boys. But every GM hits a Blackmon or Jamarcus Russel in some draft or D.Flo or Porter FA period.

It's the risk of the biz. 

 

If you give someone 'guaranteed' money, then it is contractually binding to give it up, regardless of what they do (or don't do)

 

Now if you write the contract in such a way to protect the money, that is different.

Maybe they did write JB's that way, I don't know.

 

But if not... take your losses/lumps and move on.

The Jaguars were extremely deliberate and careful in the way they structured the deal for Blackmon based on his history at the time.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The Jaguars were extremely deliberate and careful in the way they structured the deal for Blackmon based on his history at the time. 

 

Regardless of how the deal is structured, I don't understand people's urgency to get rid of Blackmon.  Regardless of whether he plays another down, he's not costing them a penny and he doesn't take up a roster spot.  

 

So what's the difference?

Might not be too long,  if he gets a few more pops he could be looking at a lifetime suspension.

 

He essentially is on a lifetime suspension now. The only way he gets back into the League is if he applies for reinstatement. If he does nothing, he won't get back in.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

This thread is depressing. It's just a reminder of how awful our first round receiver picks have been.

 

Since the birth of this franchise...this team has taken 4 WRs in the first round: Soward, Blackmon, Reggie Williams, and Matt Jones...


They've combined for 12 seasons played, 462 catches, 5909 yards, and 40 TDs...

 

Meanwhile, Dez Bryant, who this team passed on due to "character issues", has caught 381 passes, 5424 yards, and 56 TDs in 5 seasons.

i havent been on as much as of late, and this thread is huge, did we ever figure out if he can reapply yet and just hasnt or if he is still not allowed?

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

We still don't know anything Achilles.

He can reapply but it sounds like he doesn't want to.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

He can reapply but it sounds like he doesn't want to.

 

 

How exactly do you know this?

Would be awesome if Justin just came out and said "Im done" or "I'll be back"....something...Just so we hear it from him.

Common sense.

The kid's done. The only time he'll see a football field again is in a couple of outdated versions of Madden

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

Yall just chill, he will be back soon!

---

Just wait....

I think we're over the "need Blackmon" hump. Sure, if he were in tip top shape, and came back, we could use him. But we'll never see that Blackmon again. We are working on developing a solid receiving core, without the need for him.


But, for a good laugh, in case he returns, see the below thread

Let's all raise a glass to Justin.

I myself thought he would come back as well. But as soon as I heard the comments from DC. I was done hoping. Besides, he was right, B14 should be waaaaayyyyy out of football shape.
