You give me this Jags roster, give me Doug Pederson, sign Ryan Tannehill for me, and the Jags win 9 games easy.

Trevor is not in that bad of a situation in Jax. He doesn't need y'all defending him this hard. He is a good QB, Trevor knows this year he needs to show he can make the Jags actual contenders.

It's not so much that we're defending him.  It's more that we are trying to help you understand a little more about this subject.  I've heard lots of people with the "30,000-foot view" of things, who don't watch every game and don't follow the team avidly on a daily basis.  Those people, perhaps you are one of them, rely on statistics like win-loss record, passer rating, touchdowns, etc., and those statistics are all readily available, and easy to understand, and it's all you have, because you are not a Jaguar fan who follows the team closely.  I don't blame you for that.  

What you really ought to look at for starters is, do the people around the team, the fans who follow the team closely, approve of this deal?  And the answer is a resounding yes. That should tell you something.  And the second thing you should look at is, why do the people who follow the team closely approve of this deal?  That's what we're trying to explain here.  You call it "defending Trevor."  I call it "helping you understand better what we are discussing here."  And shouldn't that really be the point of this conversation?

To your point about Ryan Tannehill.  Put him on this team last year, a team that couldn't run the ball effectively and couldn't stop the run effectively, then take away his best WR, then give him a high ankle sprain, a throwing shoulder injury, a concussion, and a knee bruise, and see if he gets you 9 wins.  I doubt it.
