At the moment he is the consensus #1 QB and either 1 or 2 overall depending on what you think about Clowney and the injury issue. For most teams a QB is going to be the #1 pick next year. If you win 1 or 2 games this year and need a QB taking Clowney would take huge balls.
With the win last night the Browns are off the list. Not sure who is moving to 5 at this point but the Vikings and the Steelers are both in the vicinity.
For now. Hoyer may have a torn ACL and obviously, if he does, would be out into next season. The Browns never fully got the analysis of Hoyer. They know what they have in Weeden which means they need a QB. They have a lot of front of the round picks they can use to trade up if they need to. But the Browns w/ Weeden will be back in the sweepstakes.
That said, I maintain Jax is the worst team by far and should remain that way for the course of the season.
As much as I like Teddy, there are some really good QBs coming out this year. It would take balls to trade that pick, but they are so bad it might make sense for them to do it. A couple of picks AND McCarron or Murray or Mettenberger? _
I think 3 wins takes you out of the sweepstakes because the Jaguars aren't likely to win 3 games and they aren't likely to pass on Bridgewater on their pick.
My point exactly. They need as much picks to stockpile young talent as they can get to build their TEAM. Besides, being the #1 QB drafted doesn't guarantee anything in the NFL. And honestly IMO, I'd rather take Murray or McCarron over Teddy anyway.
I don't think so. The defense is too good. 4 or 5 wins accidentally if nothing else goes right. Unless Schiano suffers an open revolt. Then anything is possible.
Mr. Br4dw4y5ux, first off let me say that I enjoy reading your posts. Always informative and unbiased. You're one of the better posters on here IMO. Also, when I first joined I was drunk and saw your screen name and thought it said "Bradysux". True story. Anyways I do think the Bucs are in the running for the #1 pick, but am certain the Jags will have the "honors". The Bucs play in a pretty tough division, and I can easily see them losing every one of their divisional games. Yes their defense will probably keep them in more than a couple games, but with a rookie QB that has a grand total of 1 NFL start, the odds are against them. But who knows..this is the NFL and like they say "Any given Sunday!"
There's no way the jags are winning more than 1 game this year. I think they take it easily. Although they do get to play the Pat White/Bills lol.
Before I do the update I have to point out that if Blaine Gabbert is really hurt and misses time it's going to hurt the Jaguars ability to fully capitalize on their ineptitude.
Terrelle Pryor is playing this week and he's playing well. He's probably going to take Oakland out of the sweepstakes. The Browns on the other hand are screwed. Hoyer got them two wins to get to the magic number of 3 and then got ko'd for the season. Only the Browns. Or maybe the Bills too.
I had a the "pleasure" of watching the JAGS game yesterday (and see most if they're not on the same time as the JETS) and you are correct. Blackmon is a stud, but Gabbert makes Sanchez look like Johnny Unitas.... that being said, I don't think Henne is a huge improvement . + Luke Jokel left the game with an ankle injury (after trading their previous tackle to Balt. this week) so they're still firmly in the driver seat..... I say 1-15 or 2-14 Whether or not trading #1 for multiple picks is debateable, but I say take Teddy (unless someone is willing to give up the farm)
Hes out for the season now, looks like the anti just moved up a notch. edit: Wow, just noticed...13k posts
Week 6 edition: 1. Jacksonville. Jaguars are leading this thing by a mile at this point. No wins, no games in which they looked competitive and a heavy incentive to go get the big QB in the next draft. I'll start doing odds at mid-season and I'm betting Jacksonville is 1-3 to get it done by then. 2. NY Giants. This team just blows chunks. They'd be a heavy favorite to get the pick if the Jaguars weren't bleeding out each week. Coughlin might get this thing turned around but the upcoming schedule doesn't look great at the moment. They might get a win out of the Vikings at home. 3. Pittsburgh. The Steelers jumped on the list because Cleveland and Oakland fell off of it and St. Louis won as well. With the Jaguars and Giants playing as poorly as they are 2 wins at this point is almost a disqualifier in the race for the #1 pick. A team could go 1-10 from here on out and have almost no chance at getting the pick. The Steelers have 0 wins at this point and that gives them the 3rd best chance to get the #1 because there is at least the potential of a 1-15 season if not the reality. 4. St Louis. The Rams really don't have a shot at the pick at this point barring an epic collapse by them or the Redskins but they do have two shots at that epic collapse so they remain alive in the race if barely. 5. Buffalo. Pat White. Still not going to be enough but the Bills have a shot at 2-14 and that keeps them mathematically alive in the race. Edit: Bills have decided on Thad Lewis, a QB on their practice squad as their starter. Pretty much same thing although White would have been money in the bank.
Teddy B. is better right now, and a better pro-prospect, than Murray or McCarron. The only knock on Bridgewater right now is his size. He is a little light (195 lbs) and will need to put on some size to stay healthy in the NFL. Plus, he's only 20 years old so he will definitely be able to fill out. Besides that, there isn't one thing that he can't do. He is a true franchise-type QB. Odf course there is a chance he doesn't pan out, but there is no way you can take another QB over him if you are an NFL GM.
It is possible that Clowney's injury woes will disrupt things in a big way. Steve Spurrier seems to think that he is dogging it this fall and the numbers certainly don't argue with that assessment.
