We need success, in Jacksonville. 

We are so so long overdue.

You call yourself a "fan"?  No "ifs ands or butts"?

I really don't understand your logic here. You question everyone else's fandom for wanting to lose the last two games? You do realize that by losing the last two, we could change the trajectory of this team for the next decade, maybe longer? We simply want a brighter future for this team. Something to actually look forward to, which is something we haven't had in many, many years. 

You may not believe in Lawrence as much as the rest of us, but there is no denying that nearly every scout, coach and sports analyst in the country is saying Lawrence is as close to a can't miss prospect as there is. Isn't having a chance to draft such a player better than getting 2 completely meaningless wins that people will completely forget about? What's the difference between 1 win and 2 or 3. We suck either way. Staying at 1 win gives us a chance to see a way out of the constant losing. Just look at the Jets. I've seen videos where people are calling the Jets win over the Rams, "the worst moment in Jets history." A win in our last two games, combined with a pair of Jets losses, would be looked upon in the same way by 99.5% of our fans. We simply wanna see some light at the end of the tunnel. We need some hope, because without that #1 pick, the majority of Jaguars' fans are completely without hope for our future. 

How is that a bad thing? How can you question people's fandom when they only want a chance at a brighter future for the franchise? I don't get it.

I still wanna know how you would turn this team into a winner by having the #2 pick. What would you do in that case? Who would you select?

Being the worst is better than being 5-11 with the 8th pick.

This is the understatement of the century. The #1 pick has changed the fortunes of many teams over the last 2-3 decades, when it comes to taking a QB. Especially when there is a "special QB" that every QB needy team is gunning for.
