Quote:Byron Leftwich, Superbowl Champion

Tom Coughlin, Multiple Superbowl Champion

Daryl Smith, In race for championship title

Eugene Monroe, In race for championship title

Jeremy Mincey, In race for championship title

Terrance Knighton, In race for championship title

Justin Forsett (though not home grown), In race for championship title

Mike Smith, Turned Falcons around into championship caliber till the gray hairs surfaced

Rashean Mathis, just got ousted in race for championship last week, says he'll continue playing

Reggie freaking Nelson, just got ousted in race for championship last week (cornerstone of top AFC D)

Will Rackley, In race for championship title (Backup, but hey, he's in the team and contributes)

Jack Del Rio, In continuous race for championship titles to add to his existing ring (I know, credit Jughead, but...)

 

 

These are right off the top of my head.  Certainly, the list can be expounded upon

 

What do they all have in common?  They got ran out of Jacksonville.  Look at them now.

 

But, but, but, we have no talent

 

Curiously, once you head out of da Ville, your talents begin to resurface, both for coaches and players

 

But, we are not the problem.  It's the water from that peaceful St. Johns River

 

Byron Leftwich was a backup player on a Super Bowl Champion.  

Jeremy Mincey couldn't get to meetings on time here.  What were the Jags supposed to do? 

Eugene Monroe was demanding a huge contract.  We weren't going to pay him what he was demanding.  I've heard that he's underplayed his contract in Baltimore. 

Mike Smith was not run out of here.  He was offered a head coaching job in Atlanta. 

Rashean Mathis was so old, the Jags correctly figured he would not last until the time we became a contender and would have to be replaced anyway. 

Why do you count Justin Forsett as "run out of Jacksonville?"  He was also run out of Seattle, wasn't he?

 

And besides, this happens to EVERY team.  Every successful free agent pickup, starter or backup, on every team in the NFL,  came from somewhere else.  What is your point here? 

 

Am I missing your point?  Because it sounds like you are saying we are unique in running successful players out of town.
