It's not like you were banging the drum for some unknown prospect who ended up an All-Pro or called the team cutting their top-5 RB to roll with a UDFA RB or anything groundbreaking like that. Most everyone here was arguing that JDR was aggressively meh, Gene spent more effort on small school picks than nailing his first rounders, Dave overvalued need, blah blah blah.

Yay you, I guess.

Wrong!  I normally had the statements a year or two before others.  I get insulted and a year or two after the fact they share my view. I was wanting Gene bone after the second year and got called every name in the book, Dave after year 3, JDR after year 3, again I was insulted heavy by loyal blind fanboys like you appear to be about my "negative opinions".    I am right in about every case. I am a dire hard fan but going to call this team out on the bad decisions they are making.   How about we look at it from your angle!

This team is fantastic,  they are doing a great job, what a superbly run franchise.  Every team should be like the Jacksonville Jaguars,  The Jaguars are contenders from this point.   Sounds ridiculous right?

This team can go up or down from the point they are at.  It's not looking promising so far.

For being the visionary that you claim to be, you missed severely on my angle.

You should know by now I've dumped on the team from the moment Urbz was considered a frontrunner for the job. I ridiculed he and Baalke for even bothering to waste time on Teebs. I criticized our ineptitude in the darft, Urbz hiring an old friend who quit on this very team in his last stint, Urbz hiring a different old friend stuck in the middle of legal issues surrounding his last job, retaining our line coach and the list goes on. I've countered plenty of naysaying, yes, but I've also refused to pull punches when I feel strongly against something the team has done, too.

I'm not pumping rainbows out my backside. I'm also not dishing out doses of "realism" and telling people I refuse to entertain any logical reasoning why my perceived reality might be a bit skewed, as you did in your original post.

Were you so clear in your reality, you'd see that this was what initially drew criticism. Only then did you start bragging about how gifted you were at predicting failure. I've still yet to hear one example where you predicted success in a fit of clairvoyance.
