2.  My initial thought was Houston, but given how weak the tack pass rush and secondary were last year, your answer makes a lot more sense.

3.  Well played, though it may be too late for that.  Who operated on his labrum earlier this year?

4.  You are talking about the '05 team.  Both the '04 and '06 teams missed the playoffs thanks to horrid games by Garrard.

5.  Boselli was my first choice too.

7.  Interesting answer!  Cunningham was odd.  It didn't seem like he should be fast because he had those long legs and took those long strides, and for all those who thought BL had a windup should go watch clips of Cunningham.  Yet he had a flair for the spectacular.  Too bad his prime years were sabotaged by a head coach in Buddy Ryan who had zero use for offense-either his own or the other team's.  He had a good pair of receivers in Fred Barnett and Calvin Williams, and an outstanding TE in Keith Jackson (I wish we could have him here), but also had one of the worst O-Lines you'll ever see.

8.  Although TL is plenty mobile and athletic, I too was going to offer scrambling ability, though it was Brunell's scrambling ability that came to mind.

9.  Agreed.

I specifically took the tinhorns out of consideration because I think the loss/distraction of Watson will be a bigger factor than what TL would bring to the table. They are cratering and should be an easy win if Watson is kept off the field by team or league.

For 8, I will admit that I didn't migrate to FL until after the turn of the century, and as such missed out on a lot of Brunell's magical seasons in teal. Brunell may have been the better scrambler, but Dave's run will forever be etched in my memory.

It makes perfect sense why you would take the tinhorns out of consideration.

If you get a chance to see that 1996 Divisional playoff game against Denver (you might be able to catch it on Youtube) you'll see why Brunell came to mind.  Damn that playoff run was amazing.

I think they may be getting a little too far out over their skis with these answers, but, it's the offseason, perennially the best time of the year for us Jags fans, and this is the best offseason ever, so I, for one, will just enjoy it.

Probably.

But I'm pretty much giving up on trying to minimize expectations for TL.  They are already at an insane level, and me trying to lower them would be akin to standing in front of a moving freight train.

Besides, it's so rare we get anything resembling positive feedback from the national media, I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts.
