This is easy, you take Verse all day.  If Baalke took Coleman over Verse this would likely be his last year in Jax

Dimson was saying the Bears are good with just Kmet. I was merely explaining that the Bears themselves do not feel they are set at TE with just Kmet.

Seems to be a vibe here that Baalke is basically not a good GM. I don't think he is top 5 GM, but the Jags could do worse, and have in the past. I think Baalke has done a decent job in his time in Jax.

Once we get over with the draft and around mini-camp time I will go over what I see wrong in Jax. Here is a tease: The head coach and GM are the least of the problems in Jax.

Baalke has been pretty good in the 1st round and FA with the Jags.  He hasn't drafted well outside the first round other than Campbell and Cisco who were at the top of the 2nd and 3rd.  You have to be able to find talent in the mid to late rounds at times to be a successful GM in this league. 

 If he can bounce back and give us a good draft this year the arrow can stay pointing up again.  I wanted to add a couple new guards on the oline but if this oline can stay healthy with the addition of Morse I think our offense can be much better.  With Fortner at center and the injuries along the line last year it was the beginning of the downfall for us.  Everything trickled down, Trevor getting hurt with multiple injuries, no running lanes for Etienne etc.  

We just need a good draft and health and I will feel much better this year about our team.
