I will say that Oliver trade still looks absolutely idiotic.

Oliver had 9 catches for 66 yards last year.   Before today he had like 60 yards on the season.  If we are basing players on how they look against us we have made a bunch of scrubs look like All Pros.  Every ex Jag we play against destroys us, today was nothing new

And they had both rookie TE (Likely and Kolar) out, this would have been a much different outcome if that was Likely running those routes.

Credit to Josh for stepping up. We weren't in a position to wait 5 seasons for the light bulb to come on.

Its been too many former Jags

Naw Oliver is ahead of Likely in snap count.

The point is they made an incredibly weak TE room even weaker by giving away Oliver for peanuts, so they could sign a 35 year old bum, only to cut him after 2 weeks of training camp.

Oliver may be ahead, but they made a point to note that like Marcedes, he's transitioned into more blocking than catching.
