I think the entirety of his argument is that it's not Tlaw at 1 and then a gradual decline as you get down into 6, 7, 8 range - it's that you have TLaw at 1, and then 6 or so viable QB who may be ranked 2 or 3, or even 1b. I don't agree with that, and I think we have settled on QB way too long as a franchise. We have the opportunity to take our pick, let's do it. 7 first rounders won't mean a thing if we settle for a flawed QB that doesn't pan out, a la Gabbert, Bort, Lefty.

Steelers won the coin flip with the Bears for the #1 overall.
QB Mike Phipps of Purdue was the Zac Wilson of that draft.

Steelers select Bradshaw and go on to become a dynasty.  While the Bears went on to 15 years of losing.
Bears traded down with Green Bay and Green Bay selected DT Mike McCoy.

Cleveland Browns traded up with the Dolphins to grab Zac ... Mike Phipps at #3. They sent All Pro WR Paul Warfield to the Dolphins to help establish that Dolphins dynasty.

Phipps was a bust in Cleveland but Bears were still in love with him so traded a #1 pick for Phipps 7 years later.  That #1 turned out to be Ozzie Newsome.
Phipps lasted a couple years before Ditka came in and cleaned house and got rid of losing culture players like Phipps.

Vic, I'm wondering if you've had a change in philosophy because you feel it's never been easier to play QB in the NFL, or if you dislike something in Lawrence's game. Having "The Man" seems like the most important factor in long-term success. Also, no team has 100 percent success rate in picking the right players. The Jaguars have been especially bad at it. Even if we hit on all four, having four good players vs. a great QB doesn't seem like an even trade.
OK, I surrender. Lawrence must be the pick.

Egads!

His logic is more horrific than I imagined!

Lawrence making Carolina a truly regional team?

Who the [BLEEP] cares?!?

We have zero obligation to help make Carolina a regional team. 

Revenue sharing is how teams help each other.  Beyond that, the Jaguars have no obligation to help any other team.

Truth be told, this team has been way too helpful to other teams over the years.

The Jaguars helped the Patriots by passing on Brady in 2000.

The Jaguars helped his Steelers by passing on Big Ben in 2004.

The Jaguars helped his Packers by passing on Rodgers in 2005.

The Jaguars helped the Saints by not pursuing Drew Brees in 2006.

The Jaguars helped Seattle by passing on Russell Wilson for a punter in 2012.

The Jaguars helped the Chiefs by passing on Patrick Mahomes in 2017, and helped the Texans by passing on DeShaun Watson the same year.

Now he wants us to trade away Lawrence to help Carolina become a regional team?

Screw Carolina and Screw Ketchman!
