Second string QB remains a long distance away from the starter in terms of QB play. I am not certain Walker or Grier both make the team this season. The Panthers really could use a decent backup.

Really don't understand what they see in Walker and Grier to not bring in a 4th. Should explore trading for Minshew if the cost is low or bringing in Matt Barkley or Blake Bortles, neither are good, but at least provide veteran presence.

I thought Bortles signed with GB? I assume we are waiting on roster cuts, but it’s going to put our backup behind as far as learning the offense/playbook goes…

The starting line group today was:

LT: Cam Erving  LG: Pat Elfein  Center: Matt Paradis  RG: John Miller  RT: Taylor Moton

Don’t blitz on our left side…. I honestly think Elf will be solid, Erving is the one I’m concerned with especially at LT.

I heard BC was practicing guard with the twos.  Anyone confirm?  If so, L or R?

Also, being from Wilmington, I can attest that is hotter than 2 squirrels fugging in a wool sock.

I'm here now...it's hot, but it's not center of the state hot here.

At least there is a 10 knot breeze here almost all the time.

Oh, and the chicks...which is the reason a TC would be a bad idea here.

I would figure having Minshew on the team until Sunshine can actually take over would be the prudent thing to do for the Jags.  Would not figure on seeing a trade until maybe after the 3rd preseason game if at all.

Trading Gardner for anything less than a 3rd would be pretty stupid for them.  Decent starter, great backup that has playing experience for that kind of money?

Yea, if I were them, unless he's messing with the locker room chemistry, he's on the roster until his deal is out.

Anybody who played LB for us last year should be concerned about their job…we were awful

 

This is not true. Shaq played better than almost everybody gives him credit for. And once Carter took over for Whitehead, our D stepped it up a notch. 

 

Carter was with the 1s yesterday. So the Coaches noticed.

I would give them a 3rd in a heartbeat.  I would even throw in Grier and Little to sweeten the deal.

I'm a big fan of his personally.  I do think that he can be a starter, just needs some talent around him.

He would be a great backup at the very least.  That is worth a 3rd all day everyday.  If you get more out of him then you profit tremendously.

I do wonder if he's going to want to be a backup when he moves on?  Could be an issue.

I'm still a little shocked that Denver didn't go after him pretty hard, or maybe a lot of teams did, and JAX knows he's worth keeping.  Who knows?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
