#Jaguars HC Gus Bradley said Henne will start with Gabbert as the backup. Says team will start Henne and "see where it takes us."

Hurney, if there was one huge thing you ever did that was right in all your years here... it was passing on this dude despite what everyone said and picking Cam Newton instead.  Thank you soooo much for that.

Well any chance he may have had was automatically negated when he was drafted by the Jaguars, unfortunately for him.

 

I still can't believe some people wanted us to draft him.

 

Funny thing, if it were up to the huddle, we might not have Cam or Luke right now.

I really don't know if anyone on this board actually wanted us to draft him seriously - I was his biggest pre-draft fan around here and I didn't want him at all here :P lol

I am still waiting for anyone on NFLN to mention this. I can bet you any amount of money if this had been Cam, half the show would be dedicated to discussing and disecting why the Panthers BENCHED Cam. :)

 

But all that was mentioned this morning was Henne will be under center despite Blaine being healthy.

I still think Gabbert could be an okay QB in the right system, but he needs something more WCO oriented and he's not capable of carrying the load for an offense.

 

I wish I could find that article that came out right after the draft about Blaine.

 

I said from day one that Jake, Cam, Mallette were downgraded in their QB skills so Blaine, the media chosen QB, could look good. They wanted the draft competition to be between Luck and Cam but they ended up with Blaine because Luck stayed in schoold. They weren't going to pick Cam as the media chosen for all the wrong reasons.

I remember reading the Jaguars boards back in 2011 before our game against them. They had nicknamed him Blaine Swaggert and were convinced he was going to be Joe Montana. I lol'd then and I lol even harder now. Blaine Gabbert was a creation of the media who didn't even deserve to go in the first 5 rounds of the draft.

lol i remember someone talking about how he even cursed *gasp* in the huddle at their fan fest thing before the regular season and how that somehow meant he was going to be some fiery leader in the huddle or something.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
