Trevor is a budding super star QB on a Jaguars team that is on the rise^. 

Trevor is literally the guy we have all been waiting on and there is still doubt and arguing amongst our fanbase.  It's odd.  Nobody is above honest criticism but we just picked #1 two years in a row and now we are fresh off a playoff appearance and looking to make another run.  Guys want to come to Jax and play with Trevor and the guys here already want to return for the most part.  Enjoy.  It's a new day.

Doubt is a strong word, it's more so being cautious at least for me. When it comes to record breaking contracts and all that can really hamper your teams ability to move forward IF that player isn't a bonafide elite QB. He very well may be that, but all I was saying is it's far to premature to label him that right now. I absolutely feel much more hopefull about the direct he is going than I did this time last year, and I expect that to get better with the addition of Ridley and ofcourse him being more comfortable in Dougs offense. 

All I was saying is that, it's not a sure fire thing and I wouldn't give him that contract TODAY.

I can see both sides of the hypothetical but it's just that - a hypothetical. Fortunately, the organization who will ultimately pay him has some time before that shakes out. But we sat through a lot of trash football until this guy and Doug walked through the door. My post was more directed at the arguing/nitpicking and debating his worth. I know fans like to talk contracts and everyone hopes for a team friendly deal. I think Trevor will do that when the time comes (just my guess). But we would be the same old Jags with who knows who coaching and who knows what would be going on at QB if we didn't draft Trevor. If things go as expected then in all likelihood his contract wont even match his value to the team and this city for Shad regardless of what it ends up being.

Im not trying jump in the debate really. It's just getting close to the season and the thread with our Franchise QB's name on it is currently the thread where the most arguing is occurring. Go Jags!
