Quote:In all seriousness what I would try and do is focus on individual performances more than the "team" - Allen Hurns, Telvin Smith, Jalen Ramsey, stuff like that.  Talk about how those players are developing into playmakers for the future. 

 

If you just look at the team performance, you'll end up as disappointed as everyone else on here.  But, Hurns typically makes one tough catch in traffic a game, Telvin is fast and improving, Ramsey is going to develop into a shutdown corner. Those are the things the team can build on. 

 

Even Jason Myers is vastly improved from last year.  

 

Yeah, wish there was more positive to focus on.  Hopes were so high this year, but you never know what will happen.  Maybe Foles gets hurts in the 1st quarter and the Chiefs have to play their 3rd string QB? That could give the Jags a chance to keep it close or something and make it competitive.  

 

Of course we don't want to hope for a Nick Foles injury. Everybody would be saying, "But we beat a third string QB," if that happened. I know because we were saying stuff like that last year.

 

Jalen Ramsey has already shown the potential to be a shutdown corner while playing against #1 receivers. He forced Derek Carr to throw away from him, limiting Amari Cooper to one catch.

 

Jason Myers is my midsesason pick for Most Improved Player. Perfect on PATs only one missed FG try IIRC.

 

When Allen Hurns makes a great catch, we need to focus on the other end as well because he can't do it without Blake Bortles throwing the ball correctly.
