Yes I feel we are better today then at the end of last season. And your opinion to the contrary mean just as little as mine.

Again, this isn’t just about Ridley. It’s about Baalke and his overall roster building. He has been botching situations left and right. The OLine isn’t any better than it was when he took over as GM. The WR room still needs work. Pass rush still needs work. Secondary still needs work. That’s the point here. Ridley is just icing on the cake.

Do you honestly have faith in Baalke? What has he shown you to give you faith?

I've only been watching the Jags for 2 years...but I actually like Baalke's free agent signings.

Keys
Oluakun
Darius Williams
Engram
Cleveland
Kirk
Jones
Jenkins
Agnew

Not all are still on the team...but all added value at some point in their time here.

Again...drafting could be better..but imo that's also up in the air.

Hell...Bringing in Ridley for a 3rd round pick...that's not a bad deal.   It wasn't Baalke's fault that Cam tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, that the OLine kept getting hurt and both the top WR from the year before suffered bad injuries.  He also didn't ask his starting QB to get injured...or turn the ball over as much as he did.

He needs to improve his drafts...we agree.   But he's done above average with the free agent acquisitions imo.
