Looking Ahead-Questions to Ponder

#1

I am nauseated to begin this line of thinking in mid freaking September, but the current circumstances of this team leads to these thoughts.

Foles is out for at least eight weeks.  A rookie 6th round pick is now our QB.

The offensive line is still a huge question, with a sub par performance against Houston, which makes the questions surrounding Fournette even louder.

Now, the team's best player wants out, apparently having lost faith in the coaching staff and tiring of the losing.

With this in mind, here are some questions that have leapt to mind"

  1.  Assume a best case scenario in terms of Ramsey trade consideration and we get the two first round picks for the CB.  We have signed Foles to a 4 year, $88 million contract, with some $55 million guaranteed.  In Foles' absence, Minshew has shown promise.  Do you use a first round pick on a QB?  Why or why not?
  2.  If Ramsey is somehow retained and Marrone is fired, do you hire an offensive coach or a defensive coach?  Who are your candidates at this stage?  What would be the primary consideration in the guy you would hire?
  3.   Wash has become a target of criticism for not only Ramsey but a multitude of Jaguars fans.  Again, assuming Ramsey is retained, which current or recently active defensive coordinator is the best match for the Jaguars' personnel and best reflects the philosophy you would like to see the Jaguars defense adopt?
  4. Assuming an adequate haul for Ramsey, what would be your emphasis in free agency and the draft?  Would you increase the offer to Ngakoue to keep him here, do you try to trade him too, do you franchise him, or let him walk?
  5. What if Telvin Smith returns?  What do you do?
  6. Which veterans would you jettison and why?
  7. Assuming all of the changes envisioned, how many wins would you envision next year?  I know it's WAY, WAY, WAY  too early, but if there is a complete overhaul of the coaching staff and FO, I would imagine a similar overhaul of the roster, which would mean more struggles.

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
