Quote:I'm with Dakota.  Let's finish 4-12, draft 5th, and miss out on the premiere players or the opportunity to trade down because finishing 4-12 is "better" than 0-16. 

 

Gotta love the simple folks....

 

 

At the very least I can see that we are finally starting to become educated as a fan base. 

 

2 years ago, I was pretty much alone in my explaining to the board that it would be in the Jags best interest to finish poorly and get the 1st overall pick and use it on Andrew Luck. I was met with tons of resistance, insults and the like...

 

I tried to point out what might happen if the Colts wind up with Luck, and what might happen if we did and didn't end up with that pick. 

 

Everything I predicted 2 years ago in those discussions came true.

 

I guess it was a hard lesson to learn, because as said, many people are now joining what I was preaching 2 years ago. The Jags need the top pick, need to bottom out to finally get better in the long run. A few extra meaningless wins in an already dead season mean nothing except for the likelyhood of continuing mediocrity for more years instead of just a few more games.
