Does Weaver Still Want That Draft Do-Over?

Remember back in September when Jacksonville Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver suggested that his team might have been better off taking Brady Quinn instead of Reggie Nelson in last April's draft? He made some crack about going back in time and using his hindsight to change all his bad decisions.

Well, Reggie Nelson currently leads the Jaguars in interceptions with five, the highest total for a rookie in that team's short history. He's also third on the team with 56 solo tackles.

Meanwhile, Byron Leftwich was expected to be the Jaguars' starter at quarterback last April, but he was cut in the preseason in favor of David Garrard. Garrard responded by posting the third-best quarterback rating in the NFL (102.2) -- better than Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Tony Romo and Matt Hasselbeck. He also has the fewest interceptions of any starting QB in the NFL, and only one other quarterback has an equivalent TD-to-INT ratio: Tom Brady.

So tell me, Mr. Weaver -- would you still go back in time and take Brady Quinn instead?
