The Jags have already won multiple games without him since he was drafted.
It's just not that we went 3-0 without LF, but we looked dare I say better without him. The offense became much less predictable, the personnel was much more balanced, Blake's efficiency went up, and our yards per carry even went up. Obvious SSS injection, but I think we'd be just fine if LF goes down again.
We absolutely can't lose Dexter McDougle or Colin Holba. These guys cannot be replaced easily.
1. Bortles
2. Fournette
3. Ramsey
4. Cambell
5. Smith
Offense - Bortles
Defense - Telvin Smith
If you are just considering this season:
Bortles
Ramsey
Campbell
Bouye
From a long term viewpoint:
Ramsey
Ngakoue
Robinson
Jack
I'll say Ngakoue.
I got him over Ramsey since afterall we still have Bouye.
Important:
1. Bortles
2. Calais
3. Ramsey
4 Ngakoue
5 Norwell
Irreplaceable (aka an unreal talent)
1. Ramsey
2. Ngakoue
3. Bouye
4. Telvin
5. Norwell
Do people see the difference between important and irreplaceable or is it still a problem?
Not to be "that guy", but this feels like one of those things in High School where you had to pick who to throw off the boat. Just feels like a morbid discussion.
This is a tough one... other than the QB, i'd say its gotta be Calais for his presence and leadership, he made the difference for us last year

They may not be cost friendly, but they are options. Name a single option from FA or draft that could replace Ramsey? Can't. Only Rhodes , Peterson, and maybe Lattimore can do what Ramsey can. Again... Blake is the most important. Just like Andy Dalton, Tyrod Taylor, and AJ McCarron are. Are they irreplaceable just because they are the current #1 QB? No. They are not lol. Likely to be "replaced" in the draft, and if not.. guess what? They are the most important player on their teams for success. QBs that are irreplaceable are guys like Rodgers. You ain't replacing that man. When week 1 starts and Bortles goes down ofcourse he can't be replaced as that point. My point is given an off-season to do so.. he could have been.. expensive options in FA or draft... they are still options. Ramsey is a generational talent. That's just a fact.
cost friendly or not, there was no clear upgrade...there are plenty of options, but all of lesser qualty
