I'd put Brunell in the top 5

 

He had an average passer rating of ~ 85.0 during his 9 year career in Jax

 

More importantly, the leadership that he and Boselli brought to this team was immeasurable.  Looking back, the Coughlin-Brunell-Boselli combination was the perfect scenario here in Jax.

Brunell

This guy, hands down...

Quote:1. Tony Boselli

2. Jimmy Smith

 

These two are by far, the front runners. Both should be in the HOF. 

I agree that these 2 are at the top, but I'd call it a tie. Both were totally dominant at their positions for multiple seasons. I still remember Jimmy Smith being double-teamed and still being un-stoppable. If not for his off the field issues, he would have easily made the Hall of Fame. In addition, he was always accessible to the fans and appeared to be a genuinely great guy. The way his career ended and subsequent problems with drugs is the saddest story in Jaguars history.

Best OL - Boselli, Leon Searcy a close second

Best RB - Fred Taylor, MJD 2nd

Best WR - Jimmy Smith, Kennan McCardell VERY close 2nd

Best QB - Brunell (no close second)

Best TE - Marcedes Lewis, Pete Mitchell 2nd

Best PK - Mike Hollis, Scobee distant 2nd

Best LB - Kevin Hardy

Best DE - Tony Brackens, Clyde Simmons 2nd

Best DT - John Henderson, Marcus Stroud (tie)

Best SS - Donovan Darius

Best FS - Reggie Nelson

Best CB - Rasheen Mathis

LOL, this is when real men played. Allen Robinson would just whine and blame the fans.

Honorable mention - Gary Walker, Aaron Beasley, Kyle Brady, Chris Naeole.

Quote:Bell for the Steelers kinda reminds me of Fred with his patient running style. Fred was much faster, but Bell is much better as a receiver out of the backfield. Probably my favorite RB in the league right now.

LeVeon freaking Bell couldn't hold Fred Taylor's jock strap with a forklift.

Manuwai was a better Jags guard than Naeole I thought; they were both great, I just like the fact we drafted Vince is all.


2008 was screwed when Vince and Maurice Williams went down.

Tony Boselli would be my choice. 

 

An underrated Jaguars player who i would rank as the team's 2nd best CB only behind Rashean Mathis is Aaron Beasley.  Though Beasley wasn't that good in man coverage,  he was one of the better CBs in the NFL for an extended period of time in Zone Coverage.  Very good ball skills and if I recall correctly was a good tackler!

Nelson was garbage. Probably Deon Grant

Nuh uh, not with that backwards cap! Who does he think he is with all that attitude?

I remember seeing a quick one-liner during warm-ups before the 1999 62-7 game from Aaron Beasley, it wasn't shown til later, but he said he dreamt he was gonna pick Dan off twice, and he did, one on Dan's first pass. Dan threw 2 picks before his first completion, although I can't remember if Beasley got both of them or if he got one later in the game.


Loved Aaron Beasley. I was 11 and saw that game in the stadium too, which is unfortunately why I still watch these jokers!


Tony Brackens is in that same tier of outstanding and underrated players.
