What Team is in Most Need of a Quarterback?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are the team in most need of a new quarterback, they are the worst team in all of the NFL and are in need of some help at that position.  Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne have not been any good this season and neither one of them will be the future for that team, here are the passing statistics for the Jaguars for this season so far:

175 pass yards per game which is 30th in the NFL

1 touchdown to 7 interceptions

7.8 points a game that is dead last in the NFL


The Jaguars are looking at a 0-16 season if they do not get any sort of help at the QB spot, there are options out there for them in order to help win at least some games, and here are the options I think they should look at using:

Trade for Josh Freeman, I think it is really the Bucs organization that has alienated him and he could help this team out, I think a fresh start will help him.  I don’t see him going for more than a 5th round pick at best.

Sign Vince Young, yes I am still a believer in VY!  He has a good skill set, he can throw and he can run as well, they could use him and Maurice Jones-Drew in a read option offense out of the shotgun and pistol formations.  He will bring excitement to this team and I think he could help them win a handful of games.  Also they could use him alongside Denard Robinson who is a speedy player, so mix him with Young and Jones-Drew and the Jaguars will have an improvement in the run game which could help with the passing game.

Sign Tim Tebow, yup I like this option as well he is a hometown hero to many, and this team is so awful that 
you know that there will be no QB controversy, because let’s be honest Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne are nothing to write home about.  Tebow can run a spread option type offense and he will sell tickets, he would probably have a one season stop here but the Jaguars might as well take a shot here.

Trade for Kirk Cousins, this guy has the tools to be a franchise QB, I like what I have seen from him in regular season action as well as pre-season action.  The only issue here is that he would probably cost a 1st or 2nd rounder meaning that the Jaguars would pass on this trade in order to rebuild with those high draft picks.


Whatever the Jaguars decide to do whether it is one of the options I think they should use or another option they need to make one that will help the team win games.  If the Jaguars stick with their quarterbacks they will be heading to a 0-16 season and a good chance to draft Teddy Bridgewater or Johnny Manziel (assuming he declares).
