No matter how good our defense is, we wouldn't even be in a Super bowl with Flynn, TJax or "just a guy" as QB. It's not just about stats and what he does on the field, it's also about leadership. Wilson is a born leader and you need that from your QB if you want to win.

 

 

 

Quote:Wilson is effective in the offense they run. Has a good feel for the game and yea all he had to do to beat Denver was not turn the ball over. Either way, you still need your guy to step up and that's what Russell did. He wasn't drafted in the third round to start... he was going to wait and see but then won the job in pre-season after they had spent money on a FA QB (Flynn). You don't need a record setting QB to go all the way. But a defense like theirs as consistent and fast as they are isn't something you can just throw together with some time.

 

Agree, yet Wilson still has some records (TDs, passer rating) in first two seasons. He's not required to do that in Seattle, but I believe in a team like Dallas or Detroit he could throw for 4000 yards and 30 TDs. Of course he would have more interceptions too and probably wouldn't win a SB in his second season.

 

 

 

 

About building the team, there are different paths to success. You can select a QB and build a team around him (like Colts, Panthers,...) or you can build the team first, then add a QB like we did. Both models can work well, if you get right players in right time, work hard and get a bit of good luck (As we all know, draft is a lottery, you can get good or not so good players all over the draft board).  It's not important, when you draft a player, but who. Your GM and Bradley should select the one they are most comfortable with, whether it's a QB or not. Every good team needs a good QB, but if they don't feel there is a QB worth a  #3 pick, they should trade down (I believe, Jags will try to do that) or pick another player.

 

No matter which way you choose to build your team, I hope Jaguars are the next franchise without Lombardi trophy to win it. If would be fun to meet you in a SB in 3-4 years. It's a long way to go, but you can do it.

 

Just remember: not many people from outside of the Jaguars organization will believe in what you are doing, until you prove them wrong. Ignore what media has to say about your draft picks (apparently we had the worst draft of all teams in 2012, when we select Wilson), if you believe Caldwell and Bradley are right men for their jobs.
