Quote:Do you realize how much trash you just threw out there and 2 special teams players that don't matter at all? All of those guys can't hold a candle to Taylor, Smith, Stroud and Henderson.

 

The 4 players you mentioned are amongst the best players in Jaguars history.    Having said that,   doesn't Rashaen Mathis belong in that class as well?        How many CB's in the previous decade were better than Rashean Mathis?       Champ Bailey,   Charles Woodson,  and Darrelle Revis come to mind but not by much.     Off the top of my head,  no other CB jumps out in the last decade,  when comparing him to Mathis.     

 

IMO,   the Shack and Jack regime made more than their share of personnel mistakes but got tremendous value from three 2nd Round picks:       Rashean Mathis,   Daryl Smith,  and MJD.    The fact that Mathis and Smith are still making winning level contributions to their respective team,   despite being in the NFL for over a decade,   speaks volumes about them as players.
