Quote:It's not sad and it's not true in any way. You're stretching what people are saying all to twist it into your own pre-formed opinion. All so you can puff up your chest and sling a few insults around.


We're all Jaguars fans. Some of us are different levels of fans, some of us have differing views on the direction they would like to see the team do things, some of us are invested in the team more or less. None of this makes anyone a loser . None of what posters such as myself, Bullseye, or TMD are saying makes us any worse or better than you. As I said before I have no issue being called a loser, an idiot, a "non-Jaguar fan", or whatever anyone would like to label me with. I'm passionate about this team and I want David Caldwell to have the top selection of the draft where it's becoming more and more apparent each week that a top level QB prospect will be available. This team is going to be bad this year regardless, I'm perfectly OK with 0-16 and a chance for this team to finally have THE guy. Some years (like last) there isn't much benefit of having the top selection. I don't see this being one of those years. Regardless I'll still be here, I'll still watch and support the team. I don't think it's right to belittle me or anyone else for an opinion or viewpoint but do as you wish.

It is sad and it is true. We're buddies, so don't take it personally.

 

The fact of the matter is that there is a serious philosophical problem with wishing for your team to lose. When do you flip the switch and want them to win again? Next year? The year after that? What if the picks in the draft flop? Do you go back to wanting to lose again? How about during gametime. If the team makes a great play, are you upset? If players show promise, does that incite fear that draft position may be tarnished?

 

What if the team ran the table these next ten games? Do you get angrier with each win? Do you boycott their playoff games?

 

See where I'm going with this? Once you wish for losing, you tarnish fanhood in my eyes. It's a boundary that should never be crossed.

 

Are you a Jag fan or a fan of the player selected in next year's draft? If you are the latter, what makes you any different than one of the Tebow crowd?
