I don't necessarily "want" him to get fired, but I expect it. It's a results-based business and he hasn't produced acceptable results. I still would like to see the team win and couldn't care less about the #1 draft pick. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

If you dont care about getting Trevor Lawrence, you really don't care to much about winning, kind of an oxymoron
I hate seeing this team lose as well, but TLaw is now considered "low hanging fruit".. If we let the Jets pick him before we do, then we go without eating, again..
Drafting Lawerence allows this team to make a no brainer selection. They’re much better at drafting when they don’t have to think (Ramsey, Josh Allen). But when you make them think?! It becomes a disaster.
Justifying missing out on a generational QB with the 1st pick because we might not have a winning record the next year or win a SB immediately is some 2020 logic.

Picking at 1 guarantees we pick Lawrence, picking at 2 doesn't guarantee we pick Wilson and that thought doesn't sit easy with me. That is why I rather stick at 1 and draft Lawrence and then take a risk of picking a QB at 2.

The Ramsey draft you had guys like Stanley and Buckner, Allen draft you had Hockenson and Oliver. The gap is enormous here imo between 1 and 2 and would be one of the most no brainer picks of All time.. You have a shot at an one of the best QB prospects ever to a franchise who has been starving for a great QB since Burnell.

It is just as bad on Facebook, lol. So yes, I don't want to go through that either. Especially if we win a meaningless game and lose out on Lawrence. We show less advertisements to registered users.

When you look at the 2 as prospects, it's not close. Can you name 1 thing Wilson has over Lawrence? There isn't any, from traits, to experience, to wins. These next 2 Jags games are 2 of the biggest games in franchise history. Easily the 2 biggest regular season games in franchise history (12-22-2020, 09:39 AM)flgatorsandjags Wrote:I wasn't comparing Wilson to Lawrence.

I think I feel nervous about the next two games more than I did for the Jags/Pats playoff game.

More nervous about the Bears game than Colts. Colts have been playing really well. Bears have Trubisky and that’s the scary part.

I guess I didn’t really expect us to be the Pats in New England. I’m viewing this as an opportunity to be relevant for the next 15 years. This franchise seems to be dying and we just got a miracle gift dropped on our front door. That being said, I fully expect the Jags to screw this up somehow...

Normally my man, I'm with you... When it looked like the Jets weren't going to win a game at all I would have taken a win on any Sunday. Cuz to me #2 or #5 is all the same. But now that we have the #1 pick with a guy like Lawrence right there... Well I don't want to see the players give up, I don't want the coaches to purposefully tank but I'm okay with us losing the last two. We show less advertisements to registered users.

No hyperbole but I think drafting Lawrence can save this franchise. Just find some decent coaches and lots of people will tune in to watch our brand new toy.
Don't be surprised if we're on SNF during next season too and maybe someone else will get enough Pro Bowl votes from that exposure.

Some want to tank or lose every year for 3rd string QBs or a back up QB. But this is the rare year that it is worth it to lose the last 2 games for one of the best QB prospects ever |
