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


Quote:Since when has doing what Cleveland does become a smart idea?

 

You do realize Cleveland is stockpiling in order to trade with us.

 

No need to trade Shorts. We will probably be facing a situation where we can have a whole bunch of draft picks if we choose.
When it became clear that their way of running an organization meshes perfectly with the TRADE EVERYONE mentality of the bar stool diva. 

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

If you think like that, you'll only lengthen your rebuilding process on offense. Young guys like Cecil will be in his prime or entering it by the time Bridgewater is ready to enter his.

 

As for simply finding another one, even the greatest GMs can strike out multiple times at a position. We saw that almost every year with Bill Polian after Reggie Wayne was drafted. 

 

You have an offense that will be terrifyingly similar to the Atlanta Falcons when Bridgewater gets here. Don't mess it up by trading off a young guy for a few picks that likely won't amount to anything near what Cecil Shorts has become.

 

It makes no sense to remove one puzzle piece, then place the hardest piece right next to it.

 

Just my opinion.


THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Since the current administration took over for them. I think they've made good decisions for the most part, coach/ GM etc etc since the ownership change took hold. Its not the same people/ owner as all those recent Browns' teams.


Uhhh to be accurate, your wrong, the Jags and the Cheifs shared the same record, thats why the picks alternated.

What good are draft picks if you just want to trade everybody you draft?

If Bridgewater is the consensus #1 pick and a QB needy team is ahead of the Jags in the draft, then the Jags aren't getting Bridgewater even with the extra pick you'd get for Shorts.  There's also no way that any team will give a 1st round pick for him.  So why create ill-will with one of the few talented players on the roster by putting him on the trade block?

Why don't we throw in Joekel, Cyprien, Lowery, Gratz, Lewis, Monroe, and whoever else. 

 

TMD the Jags wouldn't be able to field a team if you were GM.

Look, if it works out that the Jags can still get Bridgewater, and still have Shorts & Blackmon on the roster then, yeah, I'd be thrilled with that..

 

I am just trying to do whatever we have to do to ensure that we get Teddy, because I think he has the kind of ability plus football smarts & work ethic to be a special QB in this league.  As long as the Jags land Teddy....whether Shorts is still here or not isn't as important....Teddy will make his replacement effective. 

 

To take it further....

 

add in development by Ace Sanders, and then he's your "T.Y. Hilton" cog of the offense for Bridgewater. The only thing missing would be the playmaking/ yards in chunks receiving TE - which Marcedes will never be. I'd like for the Jags to find their version of Jimmy Graham/ Witten/ Julius Thomas/ etc etc.

Quote:They only alternated picks because the Chiefs and Jags had the same record. I project the Jags will have the overall #1 free and clear with the worst record in the league not tied for worst. Do you even make an effort to be accurate or are you just inducing convo?
 

Ok, sorry, I stand corrected. I was wrong about this. 

 

I thought it was just something to try and balance out the draft or something.

Its fun seeing HS, pirk, and rollerjag (on the other page) trying to troll bait me into another warning. 

 

Good stuff. 

 

 

As said, I thought it was some new  recent rule, given rule changes almost every year anymore. 

 

Its not really as big of a deal as a couple of you are making it out to be.

Do people really think that Shorts is a better receiver than Blackmon or are they just adding off field problems into the equation to justify that?

I wonder that myself. 

 

When I brought up that Blackmon is a better WR than Shorts throughout this thread, I have gotten a lot of dissenting views. 

 

It would be like me saying the sun is hot and them trying to dispute that.

To say Blackmon is the better WR at this point is pure ignorance. Shorts is better.

Blackmon has always been better than Shorts. 

 

Blackmon just needed to adjust to the speed of the game as a rookie, hence the modest numbers in the first half of his rookie year. 

 

Shorts couldn't even get on the field for much of his rookie year...

 

You are the one who's ignorant if you are seriously trying to argue that Shorts is the better WR of the 2.

Blackmon is probably the more talented player. But it doesn't help when his head is up his rear end.

Yeah, Blackmon will turn out better if he keeps it together, but it hardly equates to calling the sun hot. LOL.

 

How can you still not have this whole opinion/fact thing figured out after twent- errr THIRTY thousand posts??    Sheesh....
