Quote:Agreed, one must consider the bigger picture.

Quote:What happened to the guy with the girl jumping as his avatar?  That was the best reason for coming around these boards..  I need something to lift me up after this idiotic win..

Quote:Sure it would.  It's already an established belief with most people here that there's going to be more roster turnover after this season ends.  That means that most of the "momentum" from winning at the end of the year would go out the door with the guys who leave.  If we won those games, it wouldn't give us a chance to get into the playoffs at all.  All it would do is move us out of the top 5 in the draft order.  That would put us out of reach for the best QB in the draft, which we drastically need.  

 

I think guys that will be here next year know that our QB for next year isn't on our roster.  So winning games that will do nothing but push us out of the running for the best QB in the draft, means those games won are meaningless.

Quote:The Jaguars are finally bad enough to be in contention for the #1 overall pick, in a year where there is an elite QB prospect. I don't understand the mindset of any fan that wants to win 3-5 games down the stretch effectively putting us out of contention to draft what this franchise has never had and oh so desperately needs.

Quote:Yay lets go 5-11 and be picking at # 8 in the draft.

 

Bridgewater - Gone

Mariota - Gone

Clowney - Gone

Barr - Gone

Matthews (lol joke of a pick if we do make it) - Gone

 

 

Teams willing to trade up - 0 especiallly since the top prospects are already gone. This is stupid and we dont need any pointless wins. Remember when we got that "important" win over the Colts in the final game of the season and how much it catapulted our team into greatness by building a winning attitude? O wait u dont because we went 2-14 the next year while the colts went to the playoffs.

 

That way of thinking is dumb. Wins like that dont mean [BAD WORD REMOVED] cept for a worse draft position and they mean nothing towards next year when everyone starts out 0-0. Yes it sucks to lose but we need to in order to win later. We never get a stud pick at the top of the draft and now when one is there at the most important position in the game everyone suddenly wants to win and run from it?
