The people upset about a win seem to be operating under the assumption that certain college prospects are guaranteed locks to be studs in the NFL. They aren't. If there was a redraft of every draft in history, none of them would have the players drafted in any order that even remotely resembles the original order which is an indictment on just how difficult player evaluation is. I understand having the top pick come draft time would be better than having the 2nd or 3rd pick, but with the historical uncertainty of the draft I'm not taking away any joy out of a loss or pain from a win and I would encourage you to look at it in this light if you aren't already.


If you're focusing on the draft position of the Jaguars and basing your emotional response to wins and losses with that in mind, wouldn't rooting for divisional rivals to win their games so they have a worse draft position next year also fall into the same line of thinking. You'd find yourself in a position where you are rooting against the Jags, and for the tacks, clots and tinhorns. Doesn't sound like much of a Jag fan to me.


Bottom line... Worry about the draft after the season. Allow the coaching staff and front office to do their jobs, hopefully we've got the right people in place. And for goodness sake allow yourself to enjoy the Jaguars' win today, they've been few and far between the last few years.


I really like that this team isn't giving up with the start to the season that we had. That is a direct reflection on Gus and a very good thing to see.
