Quote:Again, no one is arguing about the value of having the number one pick.   I am simply trying to point out the terribly high price of that pick, which some people seem to be ignoring. 

There is just so much variance that can play in to a win or a loss that isn't pure talent. If Weeden hadn't self imploded with 3 turnovers on their side of the field in less than two minutes to end the half the Jags wouldn't have won. Do we feel differently about the talent/future of the team simply because of the end result? I don't. I love that the team is playing their butts off and getting better, but if we can look improved and still lose then that's ultimately the better result in the long run.

 

I will agree that these wins are better than the late meaningless wins against the Bucs and Colts in 2011 that cost us Andrew Luck. That team was stagnant and uninspiring on all levels. This is better than that, but still not as good as looking youthful and improved while still losing.
