Quote:Enough already with the comments for Toby Gerhart to be moved to fullback position. There could not possibly be a dumber move to make. Toby Gerhart went to Jacksonville by choice. Had the coaching staff told him we have plans for you as our fullback........... he would not have gotten out of dodge fast enough. Let me be perfectly clear. Toby Gerhart is NOT a fullback or of fullback caliber. He is a RUNNING BACK, but he excels as a RB by being a north / south runner. It also helps to have a line that can open holes and so far at least even with Toby on the sidelines, whoever is in there has had some of the same difficulties getting beyond the line of scrimmage. If this is ALL on Toby, then why has there been NO BREAKOUT games by any of the other RB's either?

 

The ones calling for Toby's contract and head are the same ones who were calling for Henne's head and when they got their wish and Bortles became thee man............how come they are STILL LOSING AND STILL LOSING BIG? Nobody wants to own up to the fact that so far this year, the Jaguars are simply not a very good football team. Sorry to burst the bubble of all you eternal optimists, but that's a fact! The moves they made in the offseason looked good on paper but there's a world of difference between looking good on paper and looking good on the football field. There were very few (including myself) that honestly thought the JAGS would NOT be all that much better this year. They were of the school of thought that this would be a work in progress. So far, it's turned out that they were right and we were wrong. I now reluctantly admit, the JAGS are just not a good team right now.

When your other RBs are a former QB that hasn't done much and a 7th round rookie RB, it's no surprise no one else is going to break out.

 

I was all on board Toby being signed here and I even kept the guy on my fantasy team the whole year until this morning, but to keep rolling with him as our bell-cow would be insane.  It's clear that not all the blame is on the O-line for our run game.
