Denard working out at QB for Jacksonville
The Jacksonville Jaguars had Denard lining up in the shotgun formation at QB during Wednesday's OTA practice. Looks like his QB days are not over. The last line of the article predicts that if Denard does well, he could be reclassified from RB to QB in the future.

I think I may be pregnant after watching that.
I don't "LOL" often. But I did.
With an open points system, both Blaine Gabbert posts would be in triple digits by now.
But I told them no amount of dark magic could make them any good.
But dilithium magic....that is something else altogether. Or so we hope.
Have we given up on that every coming back? Disappeared shortly before I showed up so I missed the shenanigans.
Brian said he'd be making the change back at some time during this offseason... then again, I'm pretty sure he said something similar last year and nothing happened.
That's what I was thinkin. I've been hearing the MgoRumors about it for about 2 years. Wasn't it a system crash or something that originally caused the change to the current system?
Malwarefest 2011. I survived, barely. For a while, t-shirts were rumored, but never came to be.
When Blaine Gabbert is your QB, I'd estimate that your punter has a pretty good chance of taking about a quarter of your snaps.
Trick plays/running the zone read I'm sure. If they're serious, Denard will see 5-10 snaps/game MAYBE at QB.
Blaine Gabbert isn't very good and Chad Henne isn't great either. IMO, there probably isn't a team in the league where Denard would have a better shot at seeing time at QB than Jacksonville.
Henne has shown he can put together a good NFL game, but he needs to loosen up. Late last season, he even played pretty well for the Jags, when he seemed to take the field with a bit of a shrug and a "why the hell not" attitude. The guy just needs to Rex Grossman-up his game a bit (don't we all).
Chad has always been a low key guy.
Sometimes I struggle to remember seeing him EVER talk.
for chad. needs to get rid of that, all else will be fine.
I think you meant rad, not bad. It's a RAD moustache for Henne.
If you put about 40 pounds of fat on Henne, he would be a lot like golfer Jason Dufner, who inspired the golf meme of "Dufnering" when he fell asleep at a PR function.
I have no idea what fandango or that salsa dance is, but the music with chad's expression goes great together.
Get Dilithium the ball... Let's see what happens!
Denard in the NFL is a big question mark right now. It would be kind of crazy if the Jags didn't even try him back there, especially given how their QB play is apparently going:
Worst day of QB play I've witnessed at Jaguars practice in years -- and that's saying a lot. ... O-line not much better

Does that include Denard though?
I don't actually know. The guy's twitter feed doesn't mention Denard at all, even though he does call out Gabbert and some of the deeper back-ups.
him getting put in as all else fails and getting savaged by opposing Ds.
When you get drafted by Jacksonville, you are asked to try every position before they settle on one.
"Asked after the session whether that makes Robinson a “quarterback” or a “Wildcat” option, coach Gus Bradley laughed and said, “We don’t have to tell you,” according to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union"
I assume that, even in Jacksonville, the starting QB job would be Gabbert's to lose despite the numbers, but you can't blame Gus Bradley for trying to figure out how many volumes he can add to the offensive playbook because of Dilithium. It really would be fun to see him take some snaps as an NFL quarterback in addition to his other duties, even if it is purely situational.
playbook, but a real assist is taking up preparation time for the opposing team's defense who will have to scheme for it.
He needs the practice at RB/WR; the Jags are wasting his time trying him at QB. I wish him well, but that is not where he has an NFL future.
I would agree with you, assuming they're trying him out as a regular QB. But I wouldn't be surprised if the coaching staff just said, "hey, our new rookie RB was a starting QB for the past three seasons, let's make him run some zone reads or something."
Either way, this hasn't been posted yet, and so I'm posting it now to represent your reaction to the Jags' practice time management:
Two guys, one hand-to-mouth move.
but Jacksonville trying Denard as a NFL QB is similar to us having a Sheridan-Threet battle at QB back in 2008. It didn't bode well for us, it doesn't bode well for the Jaguars

The Jags best option at QB at this point is just to survive one more year with Gabbert, dump him after the season, and then go all in on someone like Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel, Tajh Boyd or maybe AJ McCarron in next year's draft.
Re-sign Henne to a long-term contract, in two seasons draft Gardner, then you run what I call the Cerberus package (or the Wolv3rine, but that's going to be hard to call in from the sideline - "Wolve-three-ine" I guess?): Henne lines up at QB, Gardner at WR, and Denard at RB. Quadruple flea-flicker throw-back screen to Henne streaking down the sideline.
What was that? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of all this scoring.
the Wolver-three-ne package.
I don't think they're reclassifying him, he just took some snaps at QB. They probably have some designed runs for him or something.
