Offseason thoughts, musings, and ramblings

Quote:How different would this team be if:


• Blaine Gabbert ended up as a top 10 QB instead of a bust


• Wayne Weaver never sold the team


• Wayne Weaver sold the team to Stan Kroneke and Khan purchased the Rams


• Tom Coughlin was never fired


• The Jags swept the tacks in '99 instead of the other way around


• The Jags drafted Russell Wilson instead of Anger


• The Jags drafted Terrell Suggs instead of Byron Leftwich


• The Jags drafted Big Ben instead of Reggie Williams


• The Jags drafted JPP instead of Tyson Alualu


• The Jags drafted Tim Tebow instead of Tyson Alualu


• Miami was in the AFC south instead of the Indy


• The blackouts of 09 never happened


• Blackmon never touched a joint or a bottle


• JDR was still the HC


• Gene Smith was still GM


• Khan hired Chip Kelly instead of Gus Bradley



Its amazing how one or two things that seem so trivial at the time can change the entire future of the franchise, for better or worse.
 

Let's hop in the Tardis and see!


-No data available.  No alternate universes where Blaine Gabbert is not a bust.

 

-Wayne Weaver never sells the team, then Gene Smith remains our General Manager.  Instead of hiring Mike Mularkey, he hires Eric Mangini.  That was a bad day.  Never want to live through THAT again

 

-The Los Angeles Jaguars change their name to the Los Angeles Leopards after Kroenke gives Wayne Weaver's charity a lot of money. 


-Giants never win a Super Bowl, Jags eventually DO fire Tom Coughlin anyway.

 

-Jaguars go 19-0, winning the Super Bowl.  The 72' dolphins don't get to crack open a bottle of bubbly, and nobody really cares when the Patriots try to do the same years later.  Th 99' Jaguars are held as one of the best teams of all time.  Coughlin doesn't get fired, and Jacksonville gains immense popularity.  League Rules are later made to favor them, and the Pats never have a dynasty.  Instead it's the Jags Dynasty, when Eli Manning demands to come to Jacksonville.  


-Wilson struggles in Jacksonville, but is remembered for being "better than Gabbert".  Meanwhile the Broncos were upset by the 49ers in the Super Bowl, as they won their 6th.  


-Not much changes, but the Jaguars do beat the Patriots in their perfect season!  

 

-Big Ben goes on to win a super bowl for the Jags the year that the Patriots went 16-0.  Unfortunately Shack Harris is still with the team, so they still trade up for Derrick Harvey.  And we're still in trouble.  Also Larry Fitzgerald has a ring.

 

-Jags do slightly better, but not enough.

 

-The Jaguars ticket sales are boosted!  6 more tickets sold than in the original timeline! We never draft Blaine Gabbert at least!  And he's instead drafted by Cincinnati, where Marvin Lewis has been fired since.  

 

-Jags win the AFC South one more time.  Luck is still a Colt, but everyone fondly remembers the years of Manning vs Brady twice a year, every year.

 

-Nobody makes fun of us for them!

 

-Bortles with Offensive Rookie of the year.  Jaguars win 4 games last year.

 

-Everyone would be calling for him to be fired.  Meanwhile Gus Bradley is the new coach of the Falcons, and the Raiders hired Mike Mularkey.

 

-Blaine Gabbert is still our QB.  Margus Hunt was our 1st round in 2013.  Our 2nd round pick was Ace Sanders.  Then in 2014 we picked Johnny Manziel.  It was a move pushed by Khan, who was starting to lose patience with Gene.  Manziel has a terrible first three games with us, as we BEG for Blaine Gabbert back.

 

-We'd all be freaking out over the idea of drafting Marcus Mariota.  

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
