But I agree completely that being a Stepford fan is no better than reflexively bashing everything the team does.  There's a whole lot of nuance in between those two extremes that make discussing on the boards enjoyable.  That's what I look for and that's what I often strive for in my posts...the angle I never considered that changes the analysis...the angle that can challenge a dominant but perhaps faulty paradigm.

Omg.. Remember that? All the Sooooeeeeee PIG screen names? Hahaha

That was horrible lolol

Well, I think a reasonable expectation is to see something similar happen now.

Some will be local fans who, for whatever reason, weren't previously interested in the Jaguars but were piqued by Trevor Lawrence.  Some will be fans who follow TL from Clemson like they did with Matt Jones and the many Gators fans who became Washington fans due to Spurrier and Broncos fans because of Tebow.  Some will be early bandwagon jumpers who want to get ahead of the game.

I think the only thing that will slow that is the fact this board is no longer directly affiliated with the Jacksonville Jaguars website.
