But really, it's this for me:
If you had a first round QB that's been in the league for only two years, and you had an OBVIOUS need at pass rusher, would you think "let's ditch our young QB! Two years is enough!" Or would you take the best pass rusher in the draft, give your young guy at least his third year to develop, and address the QB situation again next year, if needed?
Because if Gabbert doesn't improve, the Jags are drafting in the top two picks again next year.

McCarron is the prototypical mediocre QB playing for the best team in college. Murray and Bridgewater are beast passers and Boyd is the best option QB with 10 rushing TD's and 500 rushing yards last year.
Clemson, Georgia, and Louisville will all be competing with Alabama for the #1 spot next year. It will be fun to watch.

Yeah, as I said to blackmon in the previous post, considering Jacksonville's pass rushing situation changes the conversation consierably.
There's a good chance they could get a top-flight pass rusher this year and Teddy Bridgewater next year. I'd probably take that chance if I were in the Jags' shoes.

And like I said previously, I guarantee I have been a Geno fan longer than anyone here outside of anyone here who is from WV or went to WVU. But I am a Jaguars fan first, and do not think it would be in the teams best interest. And I don't actually think there is any chance they could possibly draft him with the Chiefs going #1, so I don't waste time equating it into my decisions.
