Henry pad his stats is all part of the bigger plan to send the Titans into cap hell once he's up for a new contract don't you?  Henry's agent is going to show your GM clips vs the Jags and you all will sign him to a 5-year $100 million dollar contract which will send your team in a downward spiral for at least a decade.

Jags know what they are doing.  Obviously, our D missing tackles and getting thrown down like rag dolls was the perfect act.

This is Omaha-level work of art. /golfclap

No doubt.

When H!!!!!!!!!!! is on, you just have to stop and admire it.
If OTA's are any indication then Foles has been a HUGE upgrade at QB. He can actually help guys with matches...who would have thunk it.
As a tacks fan...

Foles is an instant upgrade over Bortles for sure, but how much of an upgrade is the question? Outside of him playing well in the playoffs leading up to his Superbowl MVP, and the one miracle season in Philly(forever ago), he doesn't have a whole lot on his resume.

I would say most tack fans acknowledge the upgrade and realize it's going to be better than Trashcan Bortles was, but you guys didn't really give him anyone to work with. I know many jags fans love the under-the-radar guys you have at WR like dede, cole, lee, and chark, but which one of those guys strikes fear into... anyone? The tacks have really a very solid DB corps (finally!) so we aren't really worried in that regard. Your starting TE is a rookie 3rd rounder (probably), and your running back averaged 3.3ypc last season... and is ALWAYS hurt, and it's a recurring ankle injury so it's likely not leaving.

We definitely aren't feeling as cocky as we were when you were fielding Bortles but, there is a reason the Eagles let Foles walk and only one team was interested in him. I mean, think about how many teams got rookie/young QBs this offseason.. giants, redskins, dolphins, cardinals, and broncos(AND signed flacco!). None of them wanted Foles even with a pretty reasonable contract number. Why not go after him and then use the high pick on another young piece? You were the only ones willing to take the risk, usually many teams would be, especially in a QB class that was considered very poor.

You guys should be happy about the upgrade, but really we are just happy you didn't go after Murray or Haskins (maybe even Rosen), really happy. HELL, we're happy you didn't use that pretty high 1st round pick on a weapon for Foles too.
