600 yards is no scrub.  It is probably about average.  But this guy (and I have not read the thread because the Blinkards tend to take over at times) could become a Debo Samuel type player for us.

I was going to say his career has been more like this Deebo.  Thinking Deebo Samuel is too much for me believe.  If that were a remote possibility the Jags would have kept him. It's really ridiculous to think that's even possible.

We weren't the only ones interested...

Sure, why not? Don't have any backup QBs and no kicker, so why not trade for a WR?

The Panther way.....

Other than DJ, what the fug do we have at WR?

Not sure the Jags system did much to facilitate this.  Deebo Samuel was not a Deebo-type player until the Niners found a way to use him.  A Deebo-type player is a hybrid, larger player who can go from back to receiver and create mismatches.  That was my point.  Did not say he was going to be as good as Deebo, for the record

Yeah because the Jags know what they're doing!

Yeah I just don't see that in him but I sure hope McAdoo makes this worth the time and effort.  This kid plays more like a TE to me. He better hit the jugs machine if he wants to stay here because we already have a hybrid that can't catch.

It always confuses me when we trade with a bad team and people complain about how we're trying to "emulate" said team, or go dumpster diving for bad teams' scraps.  Like...would you feel more confident that we "won" a trade with a smart and successful organization like the Steelers or Chiefs?  Or with a dysfunctional franchise like the Jaguars or Browns?  I'd be a lot more skeptical if we were trading with a good team that was willing to part with a young talented player.

Duke Johnson Jr is a good example. Just got dropped by the Bills. Talented hybrid back whose prime was wasted on Cleveland's worst seasons and has never been utilized properly IMO

Yeah, good teams don't make bad trades usually. Bad teams do. They are exactly who you should trade with as they keep changing coaches and systems and players every 2 or 3 years
