Quote:People like to act like Teddy would come in and we would be automatically saved. Luck/Newton/Griffin like success in a rookie year is rare, and definitely not the norm.

 

People used to say that Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton were going to be our bookend tackles for the next 15 years.

 

Luck yes.  Newton?  He's just finally getting decent.  RGIII?  I'm still not convinced he's gonna be there. 

 

Britton was a sad story...  Monroe?  Yeah, we could have kept him.  But we didn't... 

 

I agree with your thoughts.  Teddy is a QB, and probably the best prospect of this class.  But to think he's just gonna come in and make us a juggernaught is simple minded.  We need a WHOLE team to be good.  That's the job of Caldwell and the Jag Front Office.  I'm hoping they know what they are doing.

 

And I honestly hope that Shad's son isn't involved in any of it.  That whole thing about his cybernetics, or DNA analysis, or analytics is dumb.  Don't let a kid that knows numbers and stats create your personelle strategy.  Now if he was 50 and had been studying football for 20 years, I'd think differently, but he's not.  So stop touting him as some genius.  He's not. 

 

Caldwell, on the other hand...  He's deserved some time to make choices....  Our D looks good, and it's his personelle that were brought in.  Now let's see what he can do on the offense.
