We are giving away playing who are producing at there current positions. Yan, LF, Bouye, Arob, Ramsey, TGip all good players but we dont have anyone that will step in a replace the production. We have had high draft picks for the last 15 years and have only really had a solid team of all pro caliber players in our 2016, 2017 years.

High draft picks are not guaranteed if you pick the wrong players like Caldwell has done so many times. The fact that everyone feels we can replicate the production from all our good players is the reason why we are in the current situation, Dave Caldwell believes the same thing but it is not working. Every player on the team from our most successfull season can't have been a cancer. There are multiple teams with players with character flaws and issues but the COACHES and FO understand how to deal with them and get what they need to get. You telling me, he had to get rid of everyone from the winning team? Dave and Doug couldn't handle it. Whose to say that this same thing doesn't happen again in a year or 2? Will they do the same thing? 

Dave Doug and Shad are either reallly stupid or very smart in the way of making the team worse but still having majority of the fans agreeing with all of the moves that are being made. Maybe they are trying to get us to London..smh

The salary cap is the problem, namely the bad QB management made it so that they couldn't keep the team together. Let's say they draft Mahomes instead of Fournette, then the team never does a bad deal with Bortles, and never follows that with an even worse deal for Foles. Then the team probably won a Superbowl in 2017 instead of coming up short because of a QB you can't count on, and all the guys you mentioned are still here because most of the cap isn't being taken up by a couple of horrific QB contracts.

In the NFL you can't keep everyone when you do things right, when you do things as wrong as the Jaguars have then you really can't keep everyone.

So while draft picks aren't guaranteed, I'd rather go ahead and build toward the future now instead of worrying about whether the team wins 5 games or 7 games this year.

What make people like you misinform and reactionary because y'all make blatant statement and presented as facts. I'm just tired of people like you that said we had Mahomes or Watson we wouldn't be in this situation as if the problems on this team don't go beyond player personnel. 

If we was to have Mahomes as our quarterback right now do we get Andy Reid too and all the weapons that's in Kansas City? It's like we ignore the fact that we have a bad coaching staff here in Jacksonville and we had a bad coaching staff here in Jacksonville for quite some time. What about Doug Marrone or anybody else on this coaching staff has a history of developing players especially at the QB position? We need to stop living in Fantasyland and acting like we can plug-in players from other teams and put them in our situation and everything would have been all right because of it. I'm sorry to tell you that my friend but that's not how the world works
