Quote:I must not understand the premise.
Since Brunell left, we've been trying to replace him, and we finally have a shot at it.
How Bortles isn't #1 on all lists escapes me.
Best player and most important are two different things.
I think it's a tie between Telvin and ARob for best player.
Bortles on offense and Telvin on defense are most important.
Quote:Aww him got his peel-wins huwt.
You sound dumber than the guy who said Allen Robinson may not be a top 20 WR. It's not a good look.
There is obviously going to be differences in order as people have different ways of ranking. I think most people would have:
(In no order)
1-5
Bortles, ARob, Linder, Smith, Marks
6-10
Hurns, Yeldon, House, Poz, Thomas
I fully expect Fowler to be in the 1-5 category and Colvin to keep improving.
There is a lot of young talent on the team. Free agency and the draft next year will be huge for us to fill the remaining weak spots.
1. Blake Bortles
2. Allen Robinson
3. Allen Hurns
4. Telvin Smith
5. Paul Poszlusny
6. Brandon Linder

10. Jared Odrick

Fowler jumps in the top 5 next year. Telvin would be higher if he had better coverage skills. Bortles and AR15 both make cases as our best. Cyp I think would make a jump higher if he had DB help/ pass rush help.

I think if Fowler is considered a top 5 player on the team next year we can finally put away this "Should have taken Cooper" stuff. Great player but we clearly need pass rush and Fowler provides

Fowler better become top 5 fast because Amari would already be top 3 along with Arob and Linder as our already Pro Bowl caliber players.
(Yes Telvin will get there soon, but he needs to improve coverage quite a bit before he is officially that level)

I make this thread from time to time, and it is alway interesting to see the answers change as the years go on.
Simple question: You can only take five plates on the current roster going forward- who ya got?
Mines:
1. Blake Bortles: Playmaker at QB position that we haven't had maybe ever. Young guy with lots of room to grow. Let's go.
2. Allen Robinson: Legit pass catcher that we have lacked for nearly a decade. And searched for and failed to get time after time after time. I'd like to hold on to him.
3. Allen Hurns: See above.
4. Telvin Smith: Very solid, very aware and athletic linebacker. We lack playmakers on defense and he is the closest thing we have to one.
5. Brandon Linder: Stud. Perhaps the best value pick in the draft that the Jags have had in a decade. Potential to be the best at his position in the league. Yes, please. More of those.
Yours?
Um.. you named them all. Not a very hard question to be honest.
Should have made it 3 or 4 to really make us think.
I'd take the same 5.
Maybe drop hurns for fowler, if he turns out to be a good pass rusher.

I didn't know it would be easy until I put fingers to keyboard. How bout your next 5? Maybe that will make things more interesting.
I'll take:
6. Aaron Colvin
7. Dante Fowler
8. AJ Cann
9. Sen'Derrick Marks
10. Julius Thomas

We think alike, but I would put JT over Marks at this point.
Quote:We think alike, but I would put JT over Marks at this point.
I wonder if we think that much alike or if it is really obvious. If there is that much of a talent disparity between the top and bottom of the roster.
And even though I was numbering my answers, I really wasn't putting a lot of thought into ordering them. Just counting them rather.

I mean, if you are putting a guy in your top 10 who hasn't played a down yet, then yeah, there is a huge talent disparity. You could argue Yeldon being on that list as well, but nobody else even crossed my mind.
This is tough. I try to my best to keep 10 starting with the first five...
1. Blake Bortles
2. Allen Robinson
3. Brandon Linder
4. Aaron Colvin
5. Dante Fowler
6. Allen Hurns
7. Telvin Smith
8. Julius Thomas
9. TJ Yeldon
10. Sen'Derrick Marks

Telvin Coleman doesn't play for the Jags. You cheat.

Oops ...fixed
I didn't mean the Falcons RB, although he did look good last week vs the Vikings.
Not taking contracts into account Id take:
Bortles
Yeldon
Robinson
Hurns
Thomas
Linder
Fowler
Telvin
House
Colvin
I omitted marks because this is two straight years he's ending the year on IR. Don't know if you can expect a return to form. Odrick would've been #11, considered putting him in over one of the CBs. Maybe I'm overrating them but I think they've both been solid and have been held back by an atrocious pass rush and poor safety play.
