Quote:Cam Newton has another mental breakdown. Bortles shows the league he's the next big thing. 27-14 Jaguars. At post game, Gus starts jumping around screaming victory.
I know you guys have been screwed when it comes to quarterbacks, but Bortles isn't your qb of the future. He's just the guy you have to live with right now.

LOL. I bet Bortles is a better QB then Newton this year. Newton since his rookie year has dropped in passing yards every year. If you think Cam Newton is going to take you to the super bowl, you are in it for the long run. I rather have the Jags lose a couple seasons and be a dominant team in the future then have Newton sneak into the playoffs with a 7-8-1 record. I'm surprised the Panthers won the last 4 games or your record would be just like ours.
I think it is natural for hope to spring eternal for NFL fans. After all, any team can win on any given Sunday and there are almost always surprise NFL teams. Notwithstanding this, the Jaguars have only won 5 games in the last two seasons and won only 12 games in the last 4 seasons. That is a trend.
Quote:In all those seasons we've never seen strides anything like what we've seen this offseason in terms of improvement. This is a different Jaguars team, and if the preseason is any indication of reality, we're set to break that trend.
How many times has this sentiment been echoed here over the last decade? Bortles has had a fraction of the obstacles Cam faced and hasn't come close to being on the same level.

This is probably the dumbest thing I've read all week. You and many other people have been fed by the media that Bortles was a turnover machine, and is the second coming of Blaine Gabber 2.0. The guy had the worst offensive line in the league, and had no more than three seconds to do anything. He was thrown in as a rookie even though he thought he'd be sitting the majority of the season, and we had probably the worst offensive coordinator this franchise has ever seen, which of course didn't help him one bit. You would've had to watch all of his games last year to see the flashes and potential that he has. The issues he had last season were addressed this off-season. He looked VERY good in pre-season, and has every talent you want in your franchise QB. Now we sit here and wait for the season to play out and then we'll know for sure.

All a defense needs to do is hit cam a few times and he will be pouting on the bench with a towel over his head.
Quote:We've not seen qb play like this since Brunell was in his prime.
I can appreciate that, but it's preseason where defenses aren't game planning, studying film or even playing their best guys. You can't take much or anything from preseason.

Ha, you'll see him with the towel on his head once this game is in the bag at half time. Call it pouting or sulking, whatever makes you happy.

So you actually can't appreciate it.

If it really makes you happy to come to a bottom feeding team's message board to talk up your mediocre team, then more power to you. You may even think this is "the year" for the Panthers. Hint: it is not. The Panthers and their QB are as mediocre as it gets, and will be lucky to make the playoffs again unless everybody in that sorry division has a losing record.

It's become obvious that your reading comprehension just isn't up to par.
Tell you what, Carolina fans........let's just pull on our jock straps and play the game. Then we can talk.

Sweet. Thanks for stopping by.
Feel free to stop by Sunday afternoon after the game.
Quote:Emphasis on again
Oh cool you made the playoffs with a losing record. Still ZERO Super Bowls to show for it, just like us. So have fun coming around here bragging about your mediocre team for the next week.

Yes making the playoffs is a lot cooler than sucking every year
