I'll tell you my inital reaction to trade MJD was shock but I'll play along on that. After thinking, I still decline. He is the face of Jacksonville and you need at least one. Whereas teams like Green Bay had incumbent stars then added A Rodgers or a team like New England has Brady and other people. Even Seattle has faces. We just need that constant. I also think MJD is getting better. Garrard, I agree. Far above avg QB. I won't call him great but I'll concede that he was never given the opportunity to be great. Some say that Manning wasn't given the linemen, well that plays to his quick-read on defenses. Garrard wasn't given the wr's because when the play broke he could run. We also have had a long run of good runners, so why get WR's? Or at least that seems to be the general thought. The Gabbert selection kept me up too late last night. He really was my 7th QB. The top 4 are still on the board so either I'm a fool (entirely a possibility) or I have discovered why there are QB busts in the first round, specifically two for sure and maybe 4 in the top-12 this year. I agree with most of that.

Hindsight is 20/20 but he bets the organization with what he does...He doesn't obviously looks t statistics too much... Laugh if you want but the best thing the Jags could do would be to look to trade MJD..For some defense help...If you take away our 6 sacks against the Browns last year we finish dead last or very close... Alualu was not a good pick...he played just as he was projected in the draft... Tell me this...If Garrard was so bad how could Marcades Lewis be so good? Thats just a fact... The Jags never had a receiver to work with Garrard and get on the same page... Manning had marvin Harrison Brady had Moss Welker outstanding Blocking and good TE This organization is fooling itself... Spend money on DB, WR, LB, DO NOT SPEND ON RB OR TE theyre the easiest positions to fill... Well thank god we see the same Brandon…I see him as a project too..Same thing Gene did with Derek Cox..When he gave up our second round pick for him to move up a couple years ago…

Projects are not worth first round or second round picks to me. those are for starters we needed defensive starters---too true. However, past the needs argument is the talent argument. I still don't see Gabbert as the best talent. It's unfortunate that I'm apparently blind. I'm being serious there i don’t know as much as far as off-the-field so I’ll leave that to you
