Quote:So, in the end... how'd that work out for us?
 
There were many who incorrectly believed that we were "set" at QB, including the FO, and we neglected the position for nearly a decade.
 
That false sense of security has cause the QB position to look like it does today.
 
Had we started drafting QBs and bringing in FAs as short term solutions (McNair, Warner, Hasselbeck all became available and would have been fine solutions as we groomed a draft pick,) we wouldn't be rock bottom as we are today.
 
Since Brunell, we've had no viable franchise QB on the roster and we've only made two efforts to draft one (Leftwich, Gabbert.)
 
We're QB starved, because we quit.  We thought we had our "solution" on the roster at the time.  Well, look where that got us.
 
I expect at least one QB drafted, another brough in FA to compete for the job.
 
Whoever wins it... If some of you can't stand united behind our next QB (for once,) well...

I agree with most of what you posted...

Some on here, me included, only thought that Garrard was the best QB on the roster at the time... I've never called him elite or anything close to that... he was average at best but by him just being average...he still was the best QB on the team in my opinion... was that Garrard fault that he was only average...NO...was it his fault that he might have been the best QB on the roster and offered the Jags the best chance at winning...NO... I don't fault him for that at all...

Yes, it's the FO fault, that they didn't address the QB situation... just like the DL back then... they let it get old and injuries started stacking up on players like Stroud that cut his production down...they did nothing to address this problem either until it was to late... same could be said about the OL... Brads replacement should have already been on this team years ago...

The FO people that the Jags have had in place since 2003 are the ones who put the Jags in the place there are now... mistakes are everywhere and you only have to look at the roster and draft picks from back then to see it... no FO is going to hit on every player but they've to hit more than they miss on their first or second round picks...

One can only hope that this new FO will not make the same mistakes of the past ones...
