Real quick.. So I picked up a copy of the Lindy's Pro Football preview mag while walking around the book store yesterday. They absolutely skewer the Jags in what has been a par for the course, hate on the little guy fashion. They call Julius Thomas the 5th worst FA signing including tje moronic statement, the money could have been better spent elsewhere (and in the fantasy rankings at the back say of him only "Who leaves Denver for Jacksonville?"). They have a section for each team which denotes a player who is on the Hot Seat. For the Jags.. that is Blake Bortles. Not Toby, Ace, or Joeckel. Blake flipping Bortles. And they repeat over and over throughout that Gus has great energy, but the team stinks on ice. To call it amateurish writing would be an insult to amateurs everywhere. The cracker jack crew there did the bare minimum of research on the team. I wouldn't care if they said we are gonna be awful again if they backed it up with any sort of facts, but it is just the run of the mill garbage you can get from any big city jerkwad in a sports bar who wants to bag on a struggling team with little to no supportive evidence. I don't have little brother syndrome or get butt hurt when people hate on us, but this did not even try. To think I used to look to magazines like this as an authority is laughable. These guys are clowns.
