Gene Frenette: Facing Tom Brady would be good for Jaguars

There’s been some speculation that the four-game suspension given Tom Brady for Deflategate might be cut in half on an NFLPA appeal, which is highly questionable.

But if it happens, the New England Patriots quarterback would be eligible for a Week 3 home game against the Jaguars, and that’s a good thing.

Not just for Brady, but in a weird way, also the Jaguars. When you’re on the back end of a rebuild like Jacksonville’s franchise, what better litmus test to gauge progress than playing one of the NFL’s most accomplished quarterbacks?

Sure, Brady’s presence would significantly increase the Jaguars’ chances of losing.
