26CornerBlitz Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Jaguars’ Blackmon Suspended Indefinitely: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/02/sports/football/nfl-roundup.html?_r=0&adxnnl=1&seid=auto&smid=tw-nytsports&adxnnlx=1383357756-sYqGROzKeqZuuyLhZqbcNQ Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon was suspended indefinitely without pay on Friday for violating the N.F.L.’s substance-abuse policy. He had already served a four-game suspension at the start of this season for a violation of the policy.
filthymcnasty08 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Moron....Jags are a flippin disaster.
BringBackFergy Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Isn't the fact that your team couldn't beat West Seneca West JV an affirmative defense to violating the substance abuse policy??
The Helmet of Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) The Jags seem to be failing at every level of their organization. Blackmon should be ashamed of himself, and will stand to lose a lot of money. But more than that, the decision to select him in the first place falls on management and scouts. If my memory serves, he had plenty of character issues in college. I read his apology! so moving, just like the last one! Why not save the apologies this time around Edited November 2, 2013 by MarkKelso'sHelmet
Dennis in NC Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Geez, nobody bit on the Jags' offer to trade Blackmon before the deadline...
Dennis in NC Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Steve Howe style Do you mean the pitcher or the Yes guitarist?
NoSaint Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Surprising that with the level of scouting and his known issues that this didnt all cause him to slide more. He just doesn't seem like a rare enough talent to go so high with such baggage... Unless he hid a lot of it well... Which it doesn't sound like he does. Edited November 2, 2013 by NoSaint
San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Surprising that with the level of scouting and his known issues that this didnt all cause him to slide more. He just doesn't seem like a rare enough talent to go so high with such baggage... Unless he hid a lot of it well... Which it doesn't sound like he does. I don't quite agree as far as Blackmon's talent level. Here's his game logs from last year (his rookie year): http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/14907/year/2012/justin-blackmon Note the 236 yard game against Houston in week 11 when he torched elite corner Johnathan Joseph. Check out the heavy production in the second half of the season playing on a lousy team with two lousy quarterbacks. The guy is a carbon copy of Michael Crabtree IMO. Both lack the blazing speed but have pretty much everything else.

Both lack the blazing speed but have pretty much everything else. He went top 5 with the baggage. Seemingly it had no effect on his stock whatsoever. Less baggage has effected better players far more was all I was saying - unless he suddenly went off the deep end post-draft. Look at guys like Crabtree sliding to 10, dez, randy moss..... Not being a Calvin Johnson once in a decade WR, often you will see that bump from top 5 to teens Edited November 2, 2013 by NoSaint

I thought you were questioning his talent level.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 What an idiot wasting his talent. Lol sucks for the jags, they are even worse without him
vincec Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I'll bet the Bills could get him for a bargain price right now, with the hope that he turns things around for next season. Just a thought.
Dean Cain Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Just some weed, ain't never caused someone to die after consuming too much one night.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 2, 2013 Author Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Blackmon clearly has alcohol addition issues and needs to really get help before he kills himself or even worse someone else. His problems have nothing to do with being an idiot or being stupid. Surprised people (well not really) so quickly resort to name calling in his case and others like it.

BuffalothruMyVeins Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Did the Jaguars not only just secure the #1 pick, but also took a SERIOUS step towards making a run at that 0-16 record??
