Quote:He makes valid points it starting to seem like every guy we bring in was a backup, and now we pay them nice contracts and they come in and start and suck and we shaking our heads.

Think about it Daryl Smith, Eugene Monroe, Pot Roast,Derek Cox even Mojo all players that could have been kept and we still haven't replaced those positions.


I like the Julius Thomas signing but we kept Marcedes Lewis and cutting him would have free'd up like 5 mill that makes no sense.Lewis is trash now! Like they say Parnell was a backup, but now he suppose to come here and play great. Hmmmm Some of yall thought Gerhart would do the same last year too. We had Red Bryant who was decent, not sure why they bought Odrick in plus they resign Alualu days prior that makes no sense.Seeing how Alualu havent really been good since he been here."bust" And especially when Marks played good and we still have Roy Miller. Smh.


Since we Let Smith go we been searching every since for another good LB,I think Telvin Smith is the best LB on the team personally. Not sure how Skuta gonna look because he too was a backup! And so was House and Pierce so on..

Only proven player Jaguars bought in was Julius Thomas to be honest!


And the one backup that they needed to let go!! Is yo boy Henne ! Smh!

 

 

 

As to the part in bold:

 

1.  Daryl Smith...replaced by Telvin Smith, who has already been named AFC Defensive player of the week once.

 

2.  Pot Roast...replaced by SenDerrick Marks, who was named Pro Bowl alternate last year.

 

3.  Derek Cox...not that replacing him was like replacing Lester Hayes or Darrelle Revis...but take your choice between Colvin and McCray.

 

4.  MJD...was good to great when he was here, but was clearly finished when he was let go.  IIRC, had <100 yards total last year, then retired.  This year is a very deep RB class.

 

The one guy you can definitively state we haven't adequately replaced from the group above was Monroe, and Monroe wasn't that good his first couple of years here.
