Quote:While a little righteous indignation is good for the soul, it's not like these are award winning journalists saying this stuff. They are ex-jock talking heads, some of whom may be starting to exhibit signs of CTE.


Do you pay attention to anything these guys talk about? Why even watch? If you do watch, isn't it only for entertainment? If you don't take any of their babble seriously, why would you think anyone else would?


As Oesher keeps pointing out - this is what happens when you are 1-9, following a 2-14 season. All the news about the Jags is going to be pretty negative until they start winning. If/when they start winning we'll then get to see stories about "the tough fan base that stuck with them through thick and thin..." etc., etc.


Take a deep breath - we're tougher than they are.

 

I respect your opinion but view the situation at least somewhat differently.

 

There are many award winning journalists that have no business getting the award.   Yet,   the perception of them as journalists is greatly enhanced in a favorable manner because of the award. 

 

Jimmy Johnson is a former NFL HC that had tremendous success in that role.   Jimmy Johnson's opinion is taken seriously by many.

 

My overall take is that Jacksonville has to be proactive when it comes to the inaccurate narrative that many around the country convey.   The more people hear something,  the more believable it starts to sound.     The damage that can be done before the Jaguars start winning,   if the false narrative continues,  can potentially be enormous.
