I'm telling you that the tackles are now set, the left guard is set, the Center will likely only change if Morse falls off a cliff the next month, and the current right guard isn't under contract next year. We will (hopefully) invest in a center and guard in the offseason but it's not a given as we have a couple young guys already here in Hodges and Foster. I'm not gonna think that what I think matters a whit to anyone in the Jags Front Office; they haven't listened to me for two years, why would Baalke change course now?

And clearly you have ignored what I've been saying for the last 2 seasons...  It's all good, bro.  You're right.  But I'm also right.

This team is coached by a trash staff.  The coaching has been off for 2 years because Doug never really wanted to be a HC.  He just wanted to ride off on his Ring.  

My point that you keep ignoring is that you were so adamant last year that it was the O-Line that was the problem, not the Offensive play calling.  Last year your hair was on fire about firing Baalke because of his lack of fixing the O-Line.  Now you're resolved in that the O-Line just needs a tweak here or there?  I don't get it.  What changed your mind?

The problems you focused on last year were correct.  Baalke is trash.  I conceded that to you.  I've been trying to praise your insight.   And yet you're wanting to follow that same method.  The entire interior of this O-Line needs to be upgraded.  I like Morse and his passion.  But he's not good enough, not by a damn sight.  He just isn't.  He can't run block.  He can't pass protect.  Heck, he can't even execute a shotgun snap.  And Sherff did great in 2022, but he was already aging back 3 years ago!!!  Our entire interior O-Line is completely cooked.

This offseason needs to be focused on protecting a QB that has had 2 serious head injuries within a 12 month period.  Not to mention all the injuries to his shoulder, his ankle, and his knees.  

We're ruining our franchise QB.  And that's not on Walker Little.  He played well on Sunday.  But man, the entire interior line needs to be upgraded.  Otherwise, we're about to "Andrew Luck" our franchise QB.

I guess we should praise Baalke for signing Little?  But I don't.  [BLEEP] Baalke.  But you have to also throw Doug to the ditch as well.  Both these losers need to be gone.  They have no idea how to run a franchise.  I'm sick of it.  It's time to just flush the drain.

It's not resolving to say the Oline just needs a tweak. It's understanding that we've already put long-term investment into 60% of the starters, and have big money tied to another 20%. It isn't saying we don't plan for depth or beyond 2025, it's realizing that you have limited resources, you've already hitched your wagon to guys, and if you expect sweeping change across the interior, well, you're bout to be sorely disappointed. Welcome to Jaguars fandom, disappointment is our resting state.

We probably do address RG *and* C via darft/FA, but we likely get a jar on the shelf type guy behind Morse. Does saying it that way make it less frustrating?
