I know the blame lies with Blackmon - and it should.
But I wonder if Jax did anything to try and steer him in the right direction. It's not their responsibility and I'm not trying to make exuses for JB / this is on him - but maybe - just maybe his career could have been saved in another organization.

Edit, dag nabbit! Pookie from New Jack City = Blackmon
Sounds like his turning into Titus Young. Titus and him can have a circle jerk together.
no it would not make a difference. There are certain players are like that they never learn.

Class act by the Jags.Jaguars owner says they won’t cut Justin Blackmon
Posted by Darin Gantt on July 24, 2014
The Jaguars have every pragmatic reason to distance themselves from Justin Blackmon.
But owner Shad Khan said he’s not about to release his former first round pick, who has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL and was arrested for marijuana possession last night.
“We want him to get help he needs,” Khan said, via John Oehser of the team’s official website.
That sentiment seems to be consistent through the organization, as linebacker Paul Posluszny said: “This is no longer a football issue…We want the best for him. He’s a good kid at heart.”
It’s good to hear the Jaguars embrace a kid (it’s hard to call him a player, since he’s barely played for them since his rookie year) who obviously has some problems.
He showed flashes of talent in 2012, when his play might have justified their investment in him. If he had torn an ACL, they’d have gone to great lengths to get him well, so they could benefit from his labor in the future.
But Blackmon’s problem now is not a physical one, and we hope the Jaguars are sincere in getting him the help he needs, even if he never plays another down for them.

I suppose. Of course, he's suspended so it costs them nothing. It's easier to be classy if it's free, and in fact gets you good publicity. Plus in the vanishingly small chance that he turns it around, they get a top receiver still on his rookie contract.

What I want to know is how he got caught. I have many, many friends who have smoked pot semi-regularly to regularly over 25 years and I can't think of one who got busted for possession. His stupidity in getting caught is almost as bad as the risk he is taking with his career.

Probably driving the wrong car (flashy), with smoke up to his ears...some towns run their economy through fines & such...
I was at the Fiesta Bowl when he lit up Stanford. It was awesome to behold. Too bad for him.

Nice to see they want to help him, but for his own good, I think he needs to be cut from the team, with the relevant pay cut and demoted to the practice squad, he may be physically able to play, but mentally he's not there, give another guy an opportunity and make Blackmon fight for a spot on the roster.
So glad we didn't select him, so glad!!!
