Quote:I mean if the Jaguars finish 8-8 I would be very happy even if they didnt go to the playoffs, 7-9 for that matter too.

Heck even 6-10 as long as they showed improvement.  I however will not be happy if the team finishes 4-12 while Chad Henne remains at QB (its obivious he will never get better but only go down over time along with Blaine).  Now is the time for Gus to cut ties with Blaine, bench or cut Chad and give Ricky a or DR a shot at least if the GM wont sign anyone.


Give us some hope for the future.  I mean maybe Bridgewater is their plan if thats the case why try hard to win and lose him in the draft?

Players don't give a rat's behind about the long term success years ahead. They know that they may not even be on the team next year. They are playing for their own personal future. The coach's job is to win.....that's if he wants to stay here. Our GM gave us the best shot to get a top draft pick by not resigning certain high priced free agents. As far as fans like you and me......we want the best quarterback possible. We think long term....the players in the game don't. When I started this topic, I was concerned that for the rest of our schedule, we only play 1 team with a winning record. Also, because our players love the coach, they may try harder than the other teams that we play. I remember 10 years ago, we were looking to be in the top 3 of the draft. I was praying that we wouldn't win a couple of meaningless games at the end of the season because Larry Fitzgerald was gonna be there for the taking and we were DYING for a number 1 receiver. So......we won a couple of meaningless games and had the hardest SOS of the 5 teams that we were tied with. So we got Reggie Williams instead of Fitzgerald. I still have nightmares.
