Quote:Did the Falcons gut their roster?  Did the Jets?  Cardinals?

 

The Jaguars completely blew up the roster 3 years ago, and in year 2, they went with a roster that had more rookies starting at key positions than any other team in the league.  Even today, it's still one of the youngest rosters in the league, especially among front line starters.  So, yes,  It should have been expected for this process to take 3 years before the team started to turn the corner.  We'll see if that timeline actually is achieved soon enough.

 

Where I fault the decision is as follows....

 

You had to have the scouting reports on the available free agents and the upcoming bad draft class (2012).  You decide to gut the team when the new CBA restricts practices and favors established teams.  You don't say you have a three year plan, really it is a five year plan.  Year four will be depend on how we end this year.

 

The way I look at it is at least we aren't the Cowboys and Eagles.  Those teams had playoff and superbowl aspirations.  We have please make us relevant again hopes.  Maybe next year.
