Quote:I'm telling you folks. I believe this play for Mack has a lot more to it than gaining a pro bowl caliber center. The Jags have been very involved with fan surveys and feed back from their ticket holders and former season ticket holders more importantly. One thing they have heard repeatedly is the fact that the jags have come off as unwilling to go after high priced, high quality players. This offer satisfies some of those concerns with the added bonus of possibly getting a core player. Even if we don't get him the try will be viewed as a huge positive.

 

100% agree. I listen to around a half dozen different NFL podcasts and the opinions on the Jags have absolutely done a 180 in the last 9 months. Just this morning, the NFL_ATL podcast declared the Jags the most improved team in the AFC South, and all agreed that the team seems to have one of the most focused front office in the league at the moment. They went on to say that if there was a Super Bowl for media approval, that the Jaguars would be in it.

 

Not that any of that has any real meaning -- but it is certainly different from the usual media perception of the Jaguars from the last few years.
