I think the GM/HC/OC were trying to mak their #1 feel seen with his nutty idea to play both sides of the ball as a rookie in the NFL - Hunter may one day be elite at both - but now everyone on the building should agree to reassess and shift the player to one side.
That was a Gladstone move. Travis isn’t built to play both ways in the pros. He’s also a lot like McMillan from a body type so, him being a #2/3 WR makes sense but, you certainly don’t trade up for that kind of thing. Young Gladstone wanted to make a splash but Hunter has a third round grade written all over him.
Such a horrible pick/trade package.
Let's not write him off just yet. Jaguars are playing well and he's giving them some plays.
I think they should just play him on defense only. That will also shield him from injury.
Sometimes, for elite talent, you make exceptions.
Its definitely way too early to write the book on Coen as. HC, so that is the obvious limitation in my opinion, but to start it off by TRADING up for a player that would be so unusual in the NFL was definitely a "go big or go home" type choice.
At a minimum, its easy to see Coen's skill in the Jags run game, but at least early on here the QB has maybe been flat or even regressed and a substantial part of their wins have been turnovers.
If Coen was judged by the Red Board standard, the comments would be about playing some weak/hurt teams, getting a lot of turnovers (that come from the defense that he doesnt control) and the focus would probably be - just like it is now with the Bucs - the run of games immediately before them, Chiefs, Seahawks and Rams. Let see how they do.
I hope BOTH teams succeed!!
