"If only I could do something to buy some time to throw." |
Two weeks into the 2013 season and it is clear that Blaine Gabbertt and Chad Henne are not the answer at quarterback in Jacksonville, but their is someone who can inject life into their offence.
Their savior is a former NCAA champion, a powerful runner who can buy time behind the limited Jacksonville line. Pryor has shown Jacksonville first hand what a duel threat quarterback can with limited offensive weapons. This type of mobility can help with many of Jacksonville's offensive struggles, but the Jaguar coaches are afraid to bring him in. They do not want to change their system for a running quarterback who struggles with accuracy and executing a complex offensive system.
I understand their hesitations, but when your incumbent quarterbacks also struggle with accuracy and execution a little mobility can make something good happen, or at least avoid some embarrassing plays.

"Nope, I am not any better." |
Detractors will say "he could not earn a cushy safe job backing up a hall of fame quarterback when the only competition was a disappointing project backup." That is true, but unfair. He had a limited time to learn a complex system designed for a hall of fame quarterback with an encyclopedic knowledge of football. This system was designed with one of the most accurate passers in league history in mind. No free agent will could thrive in a system designed around that kind of accuracy. Chad Henne and Blane Gabbert would have been cut too.
Plus, the quarterback to save Jacksonville has had NFL success, he has lead a team to the playoffs, he has played in the pro-bowl. The season is still early, the Jaguars do not need to be a complete embarrassment, they just need to sign Vince "Hall of Fame" Young.
