99 percent confidenceNo surprise here. The Jaguars are 2-0 for the first time in
over a decade and they just beat the only other team in the AFC that as of right
now could legitimately say they are a true Super Bowl contender.Will the Jaguars
win or lose in Week 3?Odds: Jaguars are 6.5-point favoritesMusic City Miracles
FanPulse: Titans by 1Big Cat Country FanPulse: Jaguars by 10Yup. I think the
Jaguars crush the Titans this week. If my wife would let me, I’d be betting two
mortgages on that 6.5-point line.How would you fix NFL overtime? The overall
story for the Jacksonville Jaguars following Sunday’s 20-7 loss to the Houston
Texans, the Jaguars third loss in a row, is what is going to happen at the
quarterback position. Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone declined to name who was
starting this week against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he did mention that the
position is open.The real question is about the long term future and NFL
Network’s Ian Rapoport had an interesting segment this morning about the
position.“This is one that clearly when you read the tea leaves has been a long
time coming. They signed Bortles to an extension this offseason
Cheap Telvin Smith Jersey , but it really was a glorified one-year deal. Kind of a wait and see thing to lock up their guy at a price and then make a decision
after this season,” Rapoport said on NFL Network early Monday Morning. “This
decision is becoming easier for the Jags, Blake Bortles gets benched Cody
Kessler, a backup who actually has significant starting experience – more so
than a lot of backups his rookie year with the Cleveland Browns, he comes in
there and really holds up pretty well. Doug Marrone has a decision there about
what to do, but if you listen to the players and kind of read the tea leaves it
certainly seems like they’d welcome a change at quarterback.”It’s not shocking
some of the Jaguars players would welcome a change at quarterback, simply
because the offense has done absolutely nothing in four of the last five
games
Youth Leonard Fournette Jersey , putting all the pressure on the defense to carry them and they just haven’t been able to, while also taking a lot of the
heat for the losses.The real meat and interesting part of what Rapoport said
however was calling the three-year, $54 million contract a glorified one-year
deal. I don’t disagree on the surface, because the Jaguars can release Bortles
after the season for a savings of $4.5 million, while also carrying $16.5
million in dead money, but it does open up $23 million the following season.It’s
not a deal the Jaguars can’t absolutely get out of if they want to, but it’s not
as simple as just a glorified one-year deal
Cheap Leonard Fournette Jersey , as it will severely limit what the Jaguars can do spending wise, as they’ll likely already be looking to shed cap
room. The team could also do a June 1 designation which will save $9.5 million
in 2019 and push some of that dead money to the 2020 salary cap number.It’s not
a contract you absolutely can’t get out of, but it’s not one with a ton of
wiggle room going forward either.
