Bortles benched for Kessler, bring in Foles whos benched for Minshew. Name Minshew starter, get rid of Foles ans now Minshew is benched. Yet Marrone and Wash are never responsible.

Its beyond a joke. I remember arguing with certain posters when we were getting rid of Bouye, Campbell and Yan and the majority were more than happy with those calls. 

Im also so fed up with the tanking attitide EVERY year. It obviously doesn't work! Next year it has to change, everything in that building. The attitude, the expectations. Look at Gruden at Oakland. Had a bad roster and his first move was getting rid of Mack but they are turning the team around. Look at McDermott at Buffalo. We beat them in the playoffs in 2017, which team looks better?

I'm tired of the tanking attitude too and I wish that people like Doug and Todd had been held accountable more often. Doug, the Jags traded away multiple players including players we could really used this year. Granted I understand Yan didn't want to be here, but they got rid of players who gave their all to the team like Calais. And up until recently Calais has been having a good season with the Ravens. We could have used him this year, especially with our very young and developing defense.

Also, regarding tanking bad teams, I just mentioned the Browns in my last post. Look how far they've come and they were truly awful for years. Three years ago they were 0-16 and they've been through more QB's than the Jags have But they finally got it right with the coaching staff. Even though interestingly enough some people (including some of their fans) are still unsure about whether they've finally found the answer at QB in Baker. But they have fixed other important issues like getting a good coach, who has been able to really utilize the talent on their team and they fixed their offensive line. And it's paid dividends for them. Today's game was the best game I've seen Baker play. He was making really good, smart plays. 

He was very patient and was making good choices with his throws and it showed. They are headed to the playoffs for the first time in almost two decades. The Jags could have something like that if we start by doing things like getting a good coaching staff. Not coaches who aren't held accountable, not able to really coach up the talent on the team and who blatantly get rid of/bench the best players on the team.
