Awful? If Parnell was "awful" what word would you use for Guy Whimper? The Jags haven't had even a mediocre RT since Maurice Williams, and he wasn't any better than Parnell.


 

In fairness, I too thought that Parnell was a liability. But if he was playing injured, well that explains a lot.

Disagree, Tony Pashos back in 2007 was as solid as a RT as could be. Even forced Maurice Williams to kick inside to RG (well technically the bench, but RG once Chris Naeole went down). Case in point, we haven't had a serviceable RT in nearly a decade.

Championship Formula:

1) Draft Trevor Lawrence!
2) Play good physical Defense! 
3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy!
4) ???
5) Blank #2
6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

I agree.  Pashos was above average.  Mo Williams was pretty average, and I'd take him over Parnell.

leopold is going to be all over your [BAD WORD REMOVED], you hater.

At least you spelled my username right and we're off to a good start. Honestly, can respect other people critique on Blake when its warranted but what I can't stand is people being trolls like you and taking the criticism of Blake overboard to the part where it's becoming personal and that shouldn't be the case.

Bortles is terrible. Nobody cares if you think it's warranted or not.

I'm just tired of so much suckage.


Winning cures all. Winning is more fun arguing about, losing and arguing is the worst.

I think that's actually something we should all agree on.

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

Bortles is terrible. Nobody cares if you think it's warranted or not.

And nobody care what the blazes you think. You're not like Bullseye where we value anything you post on here. Believe it or not, your opinion is just as irrelevant as mine in the grand scheme of things.

It is amusing to see people who believe they speak for the masses, when they don't.

 

I believe you're wrong, so add that to the "Do care" crowd.

No argument with the analysis overall, but I do have one minor quibble with the portion in bold.


While it did not feel like it throughout the game, we actually DID beat the Bears, even with AR's bobble.

Thank you for the correction

Yes, I am ignoring the health part.  Every player is playing through injury.  Unless his groin was torn like Fred's was, its just making excuses - the same that are made for all of our players.  He was a below average player without injury and an awful player with injury.

 

You are ignoring the part where Caldwell is content with Parnell, regardless of injury.  Injury didn't make him one of the most penalized players in the NFL.

That last sentence is pretty dumb.

Hey dimwit,  Show me where a. I 'trolled' anything and b. I 'took my criticism of Blake overboard'.  I defy you to show me either.

 

Dork.  Just because you get your panties in a wad because someone says Bortles isn't perfect...

I can remember when people were so excited to get Parnell. I wasn't one of them though. I wanted a full time starter from another team and Parnell was a spot starter. I didn't see enough from him in the NFL to warrant whether he deserved such a contract. It's kinda the same way I feel about A.J. Bouye this year. He's a guy who played well last year in the short term, on a stacked defensive team, but I wouldn't sign him. He just doesn't have enough of an audition tape to make me believe he will be worth the money he commands.I hope we learned from the Parnell signing.

---

So are we expecting him to be Leftwich'd/Garrard'd? (cut just prior to the regular season opener)

 

I think the Jags are upping their game, the cutting will be done just before the first snap...at the beginning of the first game...on the field. :whistling:

We're signing Jack Tatum?

Pashos was fine in 2007, not so good in 2008 (hence the drafting of Britton in 2009). Even in 2007 I don't think he was any better than Mo Williams in 2004. Pashos in 2007/2008 is very similar to Parnell in 2015/2016, with the optimistic difference that maybe Parnell can get back to his 2015 form.


 

Pashos was signed because Mo Williams declined in 2006. Once Pashos was signed to a fat free agent contract he was going to start whether he was better or not. The same thing happened next year when Drayton Florence started over the better Brian Williams.

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"

Or just admit that you believe this roster is full of Hall of Famers that just need to be given their 3rd, 4th, and 5th chances to prove to the world everything of which you already know.  Smartest man in the room mentality and all.

 

Losing has really softened this fan base into a bunch of emo, excuse makers.

 

Your literacy problems showing through, again? I never said any of that. I did say that there's a world of difference between saying:


"Sure, he had an awful 10 games, but his last 6 weren't nearly as bad."

 

and saying:


"Jermey Parnell improved as he got healthy in the second half of last season" and "He played really well those last four or five games of the season,”

 

And if you can't see that, the only thing that's softened on this fan base is between your ears.

Wow, you can make your point without the name calling but it's okay because I'm a big boy and I can handle it. I never get mad because people thinks Blake isn't perfect. I get mad when people put all the blame on him instead of spread some of the blame on other areas of the team as well especially on the offensive side of the ball.

And your willful omission of the whole point.

 

"We feel good about the right side of the line."

 

Many do not.  But continue to be toxic of others' points of view.  You're always right, after all.

It could be that we're just not being used to the new era of "smoke screens."

 

Dave's been pretty transparent in the past.

 

Tom is king of coachspeak and holding his cards close to the vest.

 

Words like "we feel good about the right side of the line" to me sound like "we're not telling you what our plans are for the right side of the line."

 

When our individuals are speaking about the club, I'm hearing a club voice instead of individual voices.

 

Sounds to me there's been a subtle change in communication style.  Not a big one, but it certainly does seem like there's more unity of message and delivery to me.

So calling me a troll isn't name-calling?
