Three Jaguars to Injured Reserve: Waste of Money edition
The Jacksonville Jaguars made several roster moves today. Wide Receiver Jerry "one million dollars per catch" Porter, Defensive Tackle Tony McDaniel, and Linebacker Daryl Smith were placed on Injured Reserve.
The loss of Smith means that Mike Peterson will make his final game in Jacksonville as the starter. He deserves a standing ovation, his six years with the team have been outstanding and without a doubt he is the best free-agent pickup in the last 8 years.
Losing Porter is far less significant. Jaguars Reporters, the monday radio show, seemed to indicate that Jerry is gone when the season is over. I'd be curious to see where this ranks in the all-time bad free agent signings. I don't care how expensive he was, nobody could be worse than Hugh Douglas.
The Jaguars, for the record, now have seven starters on Injured resrve with a total of 13 players done for the season.
The Jaguars signed DB Calvin Lowry and OG Cameron Stephenson. Ever notice that when the Jaguars put someone on IR, they never sign someone at the position that was cut?
Oh, in 6 minutes, the Pro Bowl roster will be announced. I'm gonna go on a limb and assume there are zero Jaguars on the roster.

I don't think it will matter
once he goes to jail.

Hey maybe he'll take a discount
I’m sure gun laws in Florida are alot less strict than in NYC, plus judging from the news, Jacksonville clubs give bigger discounts based on the caliber of the gun you have on you.

As for, Porter, IF he gets cut this year
I’d rank him
5. Drayton Florence/Brian Williams
4. JJ Stokes(Remember how he was going to be the savior after Jimmy left)
3. Porter
2. Hugh Douglas
1. Bryce Paup

But as Chris said, we're paying $1,000,000 a catch for it

In what world does a top tier WR...
do ONLY 189 yards and a TD. For 10 million dollars, he should have done that in ONE GAME.

That would be one excellent GAME
but it totally blows for a season.

I think Andre Johnson
Has had 5 games with stats like that this season.

Even for someone like me who usually tries to be optimistic about management decisions
Calling that season “not bad” is pretty ridiculous.

Not to be looking at next season,
but sit Garrard and MJD. My God… this is the nucleus of next years team! Burn Porter out. Give Lemon some play time. Let’s start recouping some of these dollars.

hahaha
Just look at the response I got to saying that. You guys know I’m messin’, right? But for real, his YPC is great, but we just need him healthy. If he stays healthy and consistently puts numbers like that up throughout a season, he would be a goooood receiver.
