There is mediocre.  There is bad.  There is absolute trash.  And then there is us and the Jets looking up at absolute trash from about 20 feet below.

I'd be happy with "mediocreville" right now, but we aren't even close.  We are so bad that you guys believe in and defend a 6th round QB with a noodle arm who holds the ball too long as a franchise savior.  Its a Jags fan version of beaten-wife syndrome... "he's not so bad!"  

Fair we're worse than mediocre. But if we don't make then playoffs I could care less if we have 8 wins or 0.

I wouldn't be forced to defend him if he wasn't unfairly criticized at every twist and turn. I'm not advocating we don't look to upgrade, we should in theory be looking to upgrade at every position. I just believe that QB is not even in our top 5 of positional needs at the moment. Minshew is clearly an upgrade over Bortles, or Gabbert. Which means he's the best QB we've had in damn near 20 years. Does that mean there aren't QBs that are better? No.

Does that mean that we shouldn't try to find a QB that's better? No.

Our defense is giving up 55 yards less per game than theirs is.  The difference?  A real franchise quarterback.

How many points did our team give up again? A real Franchise QB is going to do what? Reliably I put up 40+ points a game? 

You're missing the point and getting caught up in hypotheticals. The team is giving up 30+ points every game. And that's before we even talk about all the coaching and special teams gaffs we've always been plagued with.
