How long should the Jags tank for the future?
|
Sorry it took a while to get back to this.
Quote:How would they even be able to pull that off??They'd probably get better (too good to get the #1 draft spot) merely by the additions from the upcoming offseason. Fairly easy to do. Draft players at positions that don't offer immediate improvement in the W-L record (developmental guys, OGs, DTs), and/or trade lower picks in 2014 for higher picks in 2015. Again sign no difference makers as free agents. Keep the same mediocre coaching staff. Just keeping the same QBs (or replacing them with equally poor discards) would probably go a long way toward getting us the #1 pick in 2015. Quote:So we are assuming that Winston is outstanding, and better than Teddy. OK. But how good is Teddy, since we're making assumptions? The assumption is that Teddy is good, but not great. Call him an average of Carson Palmer, Matthew Stafford, Sam Bradford, Alex Smith, and Cam Newton to use recent non-bust #1 overall picks as examples. The question is premised on there being two 'sure thing' QBs in the last 30 years (Elway and Luck), and the assumption that Winston is in that category and is known to want to enter the NFL in 2015. Elway next year or McMahon now? Luck next year or Newton now? I think it's a difficult decision, especially if you factor in the rapid development of QBs these days. Quote:The OP assumes that the Jaguars are trying to lose and will continue to lose in order to gain a better draft spot when I would argue that the Jaguars I'm not saying that the players or coaches are actively trying to lose. But Caldwell has created a roster that 'simply sucks'. He could do it again next year while still adding good players in the draft (see my reply to TMD).
