I'm speaking now.  The Jags have been building toward the future for nearly a decade.  The talent is here to win now.  I'm talking about for the 2017 season!

Dude, this isn't Madden. You can't just plug a new QB in at this juncture and expect great results. In fact, the result WILL be worse because that QB needs time to learn the system, the language that goes with that system, his teammates (specifically his WRs, TEs, and OL), and his coaches. Teams don't hold OTAs, mini-camps, and training camps just for $***s and giggles. It's done to get players acclimated to upcoming season and the new additions to the team.

The only way Plug-in-play has even a small chance to work is if the QB is already used to the style of play the offense runs and the language is somewhat similar. If not....that QBs gonna have a bad time.

As for Henne and Allen, they are backups for a reason - they aren't proven to be as good as the starter. Out of all of this, Allen is the only QB that we don't know enough of. He's likely to be just another guy...but there's also a small possibility that he's the next Tom Brady. If Bortles has to be benched, it's best that we let Allen have a go at it to see if that really is the case. This way if that small possibility becomes reality, we can spend our first round pick elsewhere to an area that we need to improve (like TE – that unit doesn't look promising at all).
