Blackmon breaks rookie receiving yard record in Jaguars history

[WolvesJagsOs]

@vitostellino
Blackmon now 538 receiving yards, most for rookie in team history.

Sad...I know, but he is really looking like that weapon we all expected. Funny all it took was to put Henne in at QB. Hope Blackmon keeps going strong, still has 5 games left.

i know!! i knew we should!!

He's gonna be a beast for at least the next half decade, dude has no fear, great hands, and a knack for the situation. Can't wait for the years ahead of Shorts/Blackmon jsut hope we get the qb situation settled soon so we don't waste these assets.

Half decade? He's only 22 years old...lol.

I guess 27 is going to be the end of JB. We need to give him a cool nickname.

Maybe a late surge to 1K? ray:

Yep, it's a lil' much to predict a rookie's future for the next 10 years... esp one with an alcohol problem and injuries are unforeseeable. Deem him the next Andre Johnson if you want.

Man I am hoping for Blackmon to get the 450 yards over the next 5 games that he needs to get to 1,000 yards. Also hope Shorts gets the 250 yards he needs to get to 1,000 yards. Everybody was hoping Shorts would get cut, and look at him now. Shorts/Blackmon could be the next Smith/McCardell. It feels amazing to have some capable wideouts on this team.

Gene Smith didnt even want Blackmon. Khan is the reason we drafted him.

Gene Smith drafted Cecil Shorts and he is well on his way for 1,000 yards. If you are going to mention the bad, you have to mention the good also.

it would be amazing if blackmon and shorts both got 1000 this year.. we may have finally solved our wide receiver problem.. just need to find some quick shifty guy who can make plays in the slot.. maybe shipley can be that guy.

I think that regardless of if Blackmon makes it to 1,000 yards, the Jags have finally found a steady group of WR's. Robinson when he was healthy played well for the Jags also. The WR group is finally relevant and the best the Jags have had in quite some time. I can't wait to see how the Jags offense looks next season with all of the WR's having an extra year under their belt, plus a healthy MJD. Focus the draft on O-Line (maybe a TE) and Defense and this team could actually compete next year.

Well, I wasnt mentioning the bad I was just sayin. If I was metioning the bad the list would be alot longer. If I was mentioning the good it would be alot shorter than the bad. He did hit on the Shorts pick that is good.

GOOD MOVES BY SMITH:
Monroe
Knighton
Cox
Shorts
Lane
Poz
Lowery
Landry
Allen
Brewster
Bradfield

BAD MOVES BY SMITH:
Britton
Gabbert
Prosinski

QUESTIONABLE/JURY STILL OUT:
Alualu
Smith
Rackley
Branch
Anger
Robinson

Thomas doesn't count as he was a wash since he was traded for a fourth rounder, where he was drafted.
Miller, Dllard, Britton have all had injury problems, but I still put Britton on the bad since it was a wasted pick. I also did not include anybody in the sixth round or later, as they are usually filler picks anyways. If you hit on one, it is great, but a miss does not mean you are a terrible GM as not many people drafted that late stick.
