He did well collecting a few thousand followers of those generations and getting some twitter traction. 

When that earned him press credentials and he started trying to be an analyst, [BLEEP] got weird. LOL

Wasn't aware of that. Must have been in a lull at the time. I have been posting on the old forum + this forum since 2005. I was 16 at the time.

My favorite post or argument I ever had on here was years ago with Alfie. He was arguing that defenses no longer when Championships or something to that effect.

I proceeded to throw the play off run of crazy defenses book at him with stats, box scores, etc. Was fun times. Still is fun. Just find it crazy that I am now 35 years old.

I have spent a good chunk of my life, half of it, on and off on here.

I joined a few years after you when I was living in NYC and had no immediate outlet to talk Jags football.
I'm a few years older and was probably just under 16 when the rallies began in downtown Jax to get support behind drawing a team here. 

Man - We've seen lots of folks come and go and a ton of good, bad, and straight up wacky football discussion over the years here! 

Anyway - Jordan DeLugo seems like a good guy - just a little green on some of the football stuff. Probably went from "fan club organizer" to "credentialed coverage/analysis guy" way too quickly, but there's usually only 4 or 5 beat guys in those pressers each week at the Bank. Not bad to have another voice in there even if he homers a bit and gets it wrong sometimes. He'll probably get better at it. 

I remember seeing John Shipley's early analysis before he found his footing. 
Plenty of holes to poke in that stuff. He's top notch now IMO.
