Arguably the best at their respective positions, just going to war. I prefer to win, but that show is always fun. Yeah it's a great battle. Usually both get theirs at some point...they're both too damn good to get wiped out all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our track record with Jags DBs isn't good (Aaron Colvin) but maybe this one is different. Honestly might even be an upgrade tbh. Depends what you want from a FS i guess, but i think a lot of Jaguars fans (and management apparently) really underrated the value of how steady Gipson can be at a position where steady reliability is pretty darn important. Certainly in this scheme at least. You'll lose some of the splash factor with Honey Badger, but Gipson has been a rock-solid, well above average FS. And it's not like he doesn't have some ballhawking ability to make big plays from time to time himself. Not the sort of guy that really strikes fear into the hearts of opposing offenses...but also not the kind of guy who strikes fear into the hearts of fans watching their defense hoping it doesn't get eviscerated due to shaky FS play. Personally, i'd take Gipson over Mathieu without hesitation, for the Jaguars defense at least. But opinions on that will vary i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer steady production vs splash plays every 4th game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Malik can still play but drafting Taven was the writing on the wall whereas there isn't such a thing for Gip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
