I have a feeling either Mason Rudolph or Baker Mayfield will be our new starting QB by midseason 2018. At least I hope.

This should be a great game for those who like a lot of scoring. It will be fun to watch both quarterbacks head to head and see which fits better for the Jaguars. Right now, I'd call it a toss-up. With Jimmy G. going to S.F., however, this does open up the window a little more for Cousins to come to Jacksonville. He has got to be interested in the Jaguars since he would go to a team that immediately becomes a Super Bowl contender for the next 3-5 years at the least. Add in Florida's tax rate and the Jaguars would have to be one of the favorites in the Cousins sweepstakes.

If the Jaguars do pull the trigger on Cousins, I think they'd still draft a quarterback- just not in the first round. Maybe someone like Ferguson or another developmental guy. The most important decision Coughlin/Caldwell may ever make in their current positions is how to approach this position. I trust Coughlin to make the right choice as his track record with quarterbacks has been very good (Brunell and Eli). Personally, I would prefer they take the quarterback in the first round and pick up a veteran in free agency in case Mayfield/Rudolph isn't ready to start immediately. I'm still not sure how good Cousins is (no doubt he's much better than Blake) and whether he'd be worth the huge salary he will command. Coughlin can't forget what happened when the Jaguars had to release Boselli and others due to serious salary cap problems. 

Can't wait for the game Saturday to see how they perform in this big rivalry.
