We have Trevor Lawrence, Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Evan Engram on that offense. 

This is not a "bad team" 
This is a team that is weak in the trenches on both sides of the ball but otherwise quite good. 

Etienne had an absolute monster game yesterday. My hat is off to the guy. I love that he's a Jag. Love it! 

Still wouldn't have spent that pick on him.

Now we don't.  Talking about last year, we were coming off the season with the worst record in the league and the number 1 pick.  The success started last year, not right now.  Etienne was a huge part of our success on offense last year and a big part getting this thing turned around with his 1500 yards in his first season.  Who did you want at 25?

The success started with the drafting of TLaw and was completed with the hiring of Doug Pederson. Last year we added Kirk, Jones, Engram, Scherff, Foye, Fatukasi, Darious Williams, Arden Key (along with a recovered ETN), it was a huge and hugely expensive free agent class. But sure, it was all because ETN played, lol. As for the 2021 draft, ETN was going to be the 3rd down back for Urbsie, he wasn't even taking him to be the starter but to be the gadget guy. It's probably good for ETN that he did get hurt and not have to play for that [BLEEP] hole. I can't imagine how Meyer would've screwed him up if he was actually available and riding the bench in favor of Carlos Hyde.
