Okay, now I'm confused.  Help me here, ytraM.  If San Fran is an aspiration to you ("Same thing could happen here"), then please tell me why we are having this conversation again?

 

San Fran under Harbaugh = Del Rio in Jax.  In terms of ultimate output, not isolated records, or media respect.  Couple of good seasons, playoffs, then fail.  Only, Del Rio did it, as we've all agreed, with less talent, and of course, over a longer stretch.

 

I thought the intent was championship.  Hence the Jags' current 'novel' approach.  By the way, I don't mind San Fran's approach, as long as we note that they invested HEAVILY in free agency under Harbaugh (not Jag's way thus far) to add to the youth they accumulated over time.  They'll be respectable for a while, indeed, but until they deliver the expected goods...

 

My list was purely a jolt, but factual.  The stirring came with one line that these guys were all run out of town.  Moot indeed.  Run out, FA departure, age, conduct, salary, performance...not the issue at hand.  They left Jacksonville and proved value elsewhere.  As every other team goes through, stealing your line.  Just a list, augmenting the OP's cry for Forsett and Reggie freaking Nelson, and illustrating that it can be applied to other players and situations.

 

NYC, I am a fan.  This line told me a lot "but there were too many instances of one guy just blowing it".  So, if all the pieces aren't in sync, it puts a strain on the entire unit.  Sometimes they make up for it, often they don't.  It's a challenge indeed, achieving consistency enough times to pull out Ws in the league.
