Quote:I disagree the Offense is in bad shape.  I mean Chad Henne is our starting QB, that says a lot right there.

Our Veteran Center is retired and they have no guy to take the helm.  They traded away monroe to the Ravens, and our star rookie was injured as soon as Gus moved him to LT.  One hopes he's fully healed and can handle the LT position in the NFL but our Guard has been injured two years in a row.  Our RT was on the bench but did a great job when he was put in.  Our star WR is banned and even if he wasnt who knows when he'll go to jail again.  The other WRs show promise but they are no Julio, Megatron, or Jackson caliber.  Our star RB is in Oakland, and while Toby looks promising he has everything working against him. 

Do you really think only a great QB can turn this all around?  I dont.  If Gus / Dave did nothing but brought in Peyton Manning, he would have to retire after being killed by the lack of OLine.
 

Chad Henne is a legitimate concern, as he's simply not very good. However I have no doubts about Luke Joeckel playing at a high level at LT, he was stonewalling Robert Quinn before the ankle injury, he looked much more comfortable on the left side. Austin Pastzor excels in pass protection, but struggles in the run game; if he can improve his upper body strength he has a chance to be a really good player (think Zach Strief) at right tackle. This receiver class is incredibly deep, there's a good chance the Jaguars will find an impact starter in the 3rd/4th round, MJD hasn't been in a "star" in the league for a few years now, he's more name than game. At the end of the day I think you're painting a grim and inaccurate picture of the state of our offense, they obviously have a ways to go, but this draft is historically deep on the offensive side of the ball, they'll be fine.
