Myer should keep  trevor on the bench until they get a better offenssive liine.

Tank for Evan Neal!!!

Football Outsiders actually has created a method to calculate this out:
2020
2019
2018
2017
2016

Just as some examples. They have done it every year for awhile.

Jags were about middle of the pack last year if you exclude COVID, but faired well with that included.
They were snakebitten in 2018 and 2019.
Of course, 2017 was the golden year.
In 2016, they were middle of the pack.

Are we honestly going back to Foles to cry poor us? Judging by how he played afterward both here and at other places we weren't missing much while he was out .

Let's not fool ourselves and make like we just lost a McCaffrey or Barkley. Etienne played limited snaps so far this preseason and wasn't really lighting things up when his number was called.

As on opposing argument, Ameer Abdullah looked like the next Barry Sanders in his first preseason and turned out to be nothing. Having a good/bad rookie preseason has no significant predictive value.

Hopefully, history won't repeat itself. In game # 2 of Ameer Abdullah's 2nd season vs. Tennessee, it looked like he was going to have an impactful season. He then suffered a season ending foot injury. I don't think Abdullah regained his pre-injury skills.  Much like Kevin Jones didn't the previous decade after suffering a career altering foot injury.  

Every injury is different. But it's more than understandable to be concerned about Travis Etienne being able to get back to his pre-injury form.
