Ladies and gentlemen, it appears we have ourselves a good ol’ fashioned QB controversy.
No, I’m not talking about the position of starting quarterback; Trevor Lawrence has that honor locked up for (hopefully) many years to come. I’m referring to the QB2 position, which appeared all but guaranteed to six-year veteran CJ Beathard after the Jaguars re-signed him in February to a two-year deal worth $4.5 million.
Enter Nathan Rourke.
If you hadn’t heard of him before yesterday’s game, you certainly have now. Rourke made NFL headlines in preseason Week 1 with one of the best QB plays you’ll see this season - or any season, for that matter - spinning his way out of four would-be sacks to throw a 25-yard TD dart to RB Qadree Ollison.
