There is a difference in being bad and being atrocious.

 

This team is atrocious and has not lost by less than 10 points all year.

 

Yes I expected lots of losses but not to this extent.  We are barely an NFL caliber team.

 

There is no excuse for how bad this team is

Nope. Remember Gabbert would have been the #1 pick if he declared for the draft in 2013. Per Fisch

Hopefully the first fire this offseason
Silly me.  What was the team suppose to do?  I guess doing nothing is seen as a positive on the board.

 

Carry on

Quote:If you want to count a slightly improved secondary then whoo hoo
no. I just prefer to have a little bit more of an intelligent view rather than expecting miracles. Personally I'd rather rid this team of the vermin that had infested it for the last ten years. I absolutely understand what they're doing. I/we just need to hope that Caldwell is a better talent evaluator than the previous regimes. Some people just need that immediate gratification. It was happening with this team.

No, there is an excuse. Count how many Gene Smith draft picks are on this team. Then think about how we assemble the rest of the roster. Castoffs, and UDFAs. Think about it for a minute, and let it sink in. THIS IS NOT CALDWELL OR BRADLEY'S FAULT.

I don't see them making excuses.  There isn't excuses.  They are horrid.  We knew it before the season and now we are seeing it right before us.  They pretty much warned this season was going to be bad.  They will probably end up winning a game or two.  Fortunately for them, they get to play the Bills, Cards, and Browns. 
Quote:Like what exactly?

 

Should we praise and be happy for a team that sucks? 
Incessant whiners who aren't capable of taking a step back and breathing?
I am not blaming the ex regimes players for the talent on this team.  I was yelling for Gene to get booted years ago.

 

My point is this team did very little this offseason to improve a terrible product.  We cant' expect rookies to come in and play well.

 

Hence I believe the tank plan may have been in the cards before the season started.  I

How exactly do you expect to build a roster then genius? 
Quote:Incessant whiners who aren't capable of taking a step back and breathing?
I have taken a step back.  Infact 7 weeks of stepping back.

 

It's funny that you and some of the other morons around here love to label people whiners for calling this team out on it's pathetic product on the field.

 

It's also funny that you and some of the other idiots were the ones giving Gene Smith years to prove he sucked and also labled anyone whiners for calling the team out.

 

Rinse/repeat.  Same old jaguars message board posters
Quote: Count how many Gene Smith draft picks are on this team. 

 
 

LOL.  Only 10.    

 

The problem is more that 8 starters were replaced by UDFA's, waiver wire pick-ups, and rookies. But - that's a reasonable first step in a total rebuild if you ask me.

Yeah. It would have done us a lot of good to fill in with some free agents. We could have easily got 4 wins.
Quote:How exactly do you expect to build a roster then genius? 
 

1.  Spend some money in FA.   This team has over 20 million and spent like it was broke

 

2. Find a different option at QB.  Draft, FA, trade for a back up, etc.  Find a way to put a competitive product on the field.

 

Better then doing nothing

Yeah, teams who spend in F/A win a lot of games.  Wallbash  Wallbash  Wallbash

 

This was Gabbert's last year to show what he had. In the 2014 draft we will draft our Quarterback.

Whats wrong with that?  Atleast it would be a watchable game every week.  I'm not with the stupidity of tanking

It's about putting a competitve product on the field.

 

You know what you are right.  I guess it's smart to follow the Jaguars current recipe to watch your home town team get destoryed in it's own back yard every week.

No, it's smart to follow every winning team's recipe. Which is being patient and building through the draft.

 

And yes, I know I am right. It has been said this was going to be a process. Need the definition of process?
