Jaguars QB Job is Up for Grabs
Following what was apparently a wretched preseason performance by Blake Bortles, Jaguars HC Doug Marrone has opened up the job.
Jaguars HC Doug Marrone said his team's starting QB job is up for grabs, waiting for Blake Bortles or Chad Henne to win it.

Many of us have spoken of how happy we are for Chad Henne that he has solidified a backup role late in his career. Looks like he has one last chance to be a starter. I hope he steps up and seizes it.

Shocker...Bortles sucks.
TEBOW TIME!!!

Tebow => GOAT => Grittiest Of All Time.
I always rooted for Tebow in the pros. He was very effective in the one Tebow/Denver game I ever watched, he moved the ball, completed some tough throws and got the W. This tainted my impression of him and I always thought the criticism a bit harsh. Obviously he'd be playing if he could play. Best of luck to him in his baseball...

Tebow is too busy getting ready to seize Babe Ruth's throne to go play for a team like the Jags.
August 18th, 2017 at 12:36 PM ^
Which is better to have? Grit or moxie? I've always wondered.

I don't know if it was just because he was playing in the 4th quarter or just a one off thing, but Brandon Allen looked like the most impressive QB from the Jags.

What context? His stats weren't bad, and like the poster above says, there's some backup QB's in the league that are pretty terrible. He should get a shot somewhere.

Completion percentage and QB rating would also be affected by how much your team sucks. Actual research and analysis would look something more like this.
August 18th, 2017 at 12:06 PM ^
Race card much?

He's a band aid to be certain, but if I was the Jags I'd at least give him a call to see if he's someone who can at least get you through the year. He isn't any worse than Henne, and he's certainly an upgrade over Bortles.
Besides, what would the Jags really have to lose? They're an atrocious team to begin with, and one of the smallest of the small-market teams. If not the smallest. So him coming to Jacksonville would be nowhere near the same media circus it would be if he went to places like NY, Philly, Miami or Chicago. If Kaepernick sucks, they're probably no worse now than they were before they had him. If he's better, then its win-win.
Only problem I could see is what kind of contract he'll demand, but he's not in a position to make any demands. He's looked bad on the field ever since Harbaugh left SF, and there are literally no teams lining up at his door asking him to even try out, much less start for them. Jags could offer him something reasonable, but they're in a position where they could tell him to take it or leave it and remain unemployed.

Mallett and Henne, who's the other potential starting QB????????? Oh, that guy!!!
Any rumors about GOAT appearances next week while in the area for the scimmage, wait the full priced pre-season contest?

Did you know that there's an "open container" policy around the stadium before the games? You can go to Intuition and get a "to go" beer to drink while walking to the game (or concerts). Of course, I guess it's cheaper to just bring your own and tailgate in the parking lot. Every city should have an open container policy for certain events.
August 18th, 2017 at 9:17 AM ^
Indy has an open container law all year long. Walk anywhere with your drinks (but most bars won't let you leave with a drink). Something to keep in mind for future B1G events.

Denard is still on the Jags isn't he? I'm just sayin'!!!!!!!

Not even on an NFL roster at this time.
August 18th, 2017 at 11:28 AM ^
Let's face it. A 5th round pick making it three years in the NFL is pretty damn impressive, especially with an elbow I'm sure is still not at 100% (ulnar nerve damage is a bitch) and playing a new position.
I would love it if he got another shot someplace but not holding my breath here. DR should prolly be planning for life after football at this point.
Having said that here on MGoBlog drop mic -run off stage and into waiting car....

safe to say its getting late early for Bortles. Chad was clearly the better QB out there tonight and he didnt exactly light it up.
August 18th, 2017 at 1:15 AM ^
Not Chad's fault the WRs dropped the ball. Haven't seen a spiral come at them in weeks.
