The Jacksonville Jaguars have been a model of inconsistency
and often poor play for the better part of the past three seasons since Blaine
Gabbert was drafted and this team needs to start looking into their future and
I don’t think Gabbert will be part of that.
Gabbert is not the only quarterback that will be gone from
the Jaguars this following this season, I think Chad Henne will also be gone,
he isn’t a starting caliber QB and I don’t think the Jaguars will want to keep
him around. This team needs to start
over at the quarterback position because in the NFL you need better play then
what they have been getting.
The Jaguars will most likely end up with the top pick in
upcoming draft next year, and there should be some quality QB’s entering the
draft such as Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel who could both be franchise
players. The Jaguars have to look at these
options because they could really miss out on a player that can help them win
games, I am confident that Bridgewater will enter the draft this year but I am
unsure about Manziel.
The Jaguars passing stats are as follows*:
1921 yards, ranked 25th in the NFL
6.5 yards per attempt, ranked 27th in the NFL
4 passing touchdowns, ranked 32nd (last in the
NFL)
14 interceptions, ranked 3rd worst in the NFL
Those are some pretty horrendous numbers and they could
possibly be worse than the Cardinals passing numbers from last season, and to
make matters worse the Jaguars have not scored one touchdown at home. That stat along with these numbers and record
of 1-8 show the ineptitude of their passing offense.
The Jaguars need to part ways with Gabbert and Henne and
start all over again, by doing this they will be able to clear cap room and can
draft another quarterback and groom him to be a franchise player. By doing this the Jaguars can then use other
draft picks and free agency to bolster their roster to help improve the team
and get their quarterback of the future some help.
