Quote:Other then Rivers and Rodgers no Qb on that list scares me.


We play alot of non shootout style qbs and the ones we do (stafford,cutler) are not what they once were.


Mariota,Bridgewater,Smith,Osweiler, and Flacco are game managers if the offense scores and forces them to throw a ton they will falter.


Also why would we be swept by Luck? His luster has worn off he is injury prone and a turnover machine in his own right.

 

Rivers shouldn't scare anyone at this point either. It's just been the complete ineptness of Gus and every other Jaguars coach since Coughlin left that makes Rivers such a problem, but he's not one of the true elite QBs in the league.

 

I see the defense differently than some, I expect it should be pretty close to 100% right out of the gate in game one. Gus is supposed to be a defensive Guru (lol) and aside from Ramsey and Jack the defense should be set up with a lot of veteran talent that can be brought up to speed quickly to play any scheme, and I personally expect Ramsey and Jack to play pretty well right from the start just thanks to overpowering talent.

 

No, if the Jaguars defense isn't at least as good as an average defense in the league right out of the gate it'll mean problems, because it's not that likely that Gus will be able to find time to teach a buy of guys the system more than he'll be able to do so with all of the open practice time he's having now through the end of August.

 

It's time for the low expectations to drop by the wayside, this is year four of a the rebuild, teams with good management are talking playoffs right now, not about possibly being decent at the end of another season of losing.
