2011 Blaine Gabbert they traded up with the Redskins after that selection JJ Watt was picked by the Texans.

EPIC FAIL

Many to chose from but this was being more current & relatable to still hurts..

or the fact that the Redskins still was able to draft Ryan Kerrigan at the slot the Jaguars had if they hadnt made the trade.

Pouncey, Fairley, Quinn, and others were still on the board when Blaine was drafted by the Jaguars.

 

The reach for Tyson Alualu in 2010 stunk too, especially all the bs hype they tried to force down our faces about him.  He's a good DL but wasnt really worth of the reach of a 10th pick but then again look at Harvey in 2008 that bust really hurt.

In regards to Tyson, Jason Pierre-Paul DE was still on the board I was really hoping the Jaguars were going to draft him. Pouncey C Steelers too, Graham, etc

 

2005 Matt Jones, heck you could pretty  much say any of the 1st round picks with the exception of the ones made under Coughlin & a couple minor exceptions.

Yeah Coughlin drafted RJ Soward

I wouldn't undo any single draft pick. A team can rebound from a bad pick.


 

Not making Gene Smith the GM is a good choice. That fixes a lot.


 

But my choice would be undoing WW's agreeing to the new division arrangement. Ideally the Jags should be in the same division with TB, Atlanta, and Carolina (swapping the Jags for New Orleans). Wayne should have at least held out for Baltimore rather than Indy in the AFC-S. The Jags (and tacks) had an actual rivalry with the Ravens at the time, and Indy is closer to the rest of the AFC-N than Baltimore. The Jags history might have been a lot different if we were not stuck in the same division with Peyton Manning for 10 years.

Wow. Great call on this. While I do enjoy the rivalry with Tennessee, I agree with you that a more local division for the team would have been a big advantage.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Easy!

 

Hiring Gene Smith 

 

The guy was a bust magnet!

---

Coughlin/Harris? No way. Coughlin/Gene, I think, could've had a shot. Gene was very good at picking his draft board and sticking to it--something that I think Coughlin didn't do when he would reach for a guy. That said, I think Coughlin would have blocked Gene from making some of his worse moves (Alualu and Blackmon for sure). The two styles, as weird as this sounds, might have meshed just enough to preserve sanity.

 

Yeah. Peterson made a tackle in a close loss to the Bengals, and made some kind of inoffensive celebratory gesture. Del Rio took issue with it and called Peterson out in front of the entire team in a meeting the next week. Peterson stood up to defend himself, and he was sent home for a few days as a result. I still believe that the Peterson incident was the one in which Del Rio lost his team once and for all. Unfortunately, it took Weaver three more years to notice.

 

Stroud and Henderson were both run out of town because they disagreed with Del Rio. Reggie Nelson was traded to Cincinatti, where he became a solid safety, over a disagreement with Del Rio as well, although Del Rio had a leg to stand on in that one. When a team's invested a first-round pick in you and you complain about being played at corner in an emergency, the coach has every right to say that you'll play kicker if he tells you to. I'm sure there were plenty of others who left because of Del Rio's ham-handed way of dealing with the team that just never made the news.

 

Agreed, but how many people here weren't happy to see Leftwich drafted? I remember being thrilled. I also remember being about to graduate from high school and not really understanding the personnel side of things, but I was thrilled to see that Brunell's successor was in the fold. The bigger issue with Leftwich, I think, was his being thrown out on the field far too early. History repeated itself with Gabbert who, given a year to learn instead of starting by default after the release of Garrard and the tanking of McCown, might have been a different player for us.

I didn't like the pick. Just because a player is tough doesn't make him great. They raved about him playing with a broken leg in a game at Marshall. He lost that game. Also, McCown had the one really bad game. Brunell, in his prime, threw 4 or 5 INT's in a game. They were way too quick to pull the plug on McCown.
