1) TMD craps on whatever the team does, unless they picked the guy he wanted.  Then he only slightly hammers them for every other pick.

 

2) Crazy returns in some form and says the Jags are the worst team ever and everything they do is awful.

 

3) JaguarsWoman posts something that is completely obvious and acts like she's a genius for figuring it out.

 

4) People who wanted player A talk about how great of a draft was had by the team that picked him.

 

5) People who wanted the guy the Jaguars picked claim to have "called it".

 

6) Casual fans of the team post tons of youtube links to highlights of the first few picks, thinking no one has ever watched them before.

 

7) Other casual fans watch the videos and get really excited about the player(s), having never seen their highlight reel before.

 

8) Armchair QBs post walls of text about how each player will fit into the system and predict approximately 20% of the team changing positions.

 

9) Approximately two dozen "Predict the opening day depth chart" threads go up.

 

10) Approximately one dozen "*** OFFICIAL Predict the opening day depth chart ***" threads go up.

 

11) 2015 Mock Drafts go up.  The guys who hated the first round pick have the Jaguars picking first overall next year.

 

12) The inevitable Tebow Thread.

 

EDIT: The "Jersey Numbers" Thread.

Quote:Everyone will discuss the prospects that the Jags drafted, the ones that they passed on, etc...

 

A lot of people will be gung ho about everyone we drafted, and talk about how they'll be good.  Any previous vitrol for players will be long forgotten until the player doesn't work out, at which point the vitrol will return with a vengeance.

 

Personally if Manziel is drafted, I will be concerned, but excited.  I'm not sure he'll translate well into the NFL.  But I'll be excited about any of the Top QB's getting drafted by the Jags.  

 

 
I agree completely with this.

 

I think even though some may have initially opposed the choice, I think most will be enthusiastic about seeing the new guys in minicamps/OTAs/whichever ones are open to the public post draft, then training camp.

 

I think you'll see some debating whether or not we should have traded up/down (see Gene Smith's trade of a 2010 2nd round pick for the right to choose Derek Cox in the 3rd round in 2009).

 

But yeah, I think most will fall in line with who the team picks until preseason.

 

If any opposed the pick at the time, and the pick shows any signs of struggle, then you'll hear them.

Depending upon the player, there will be hordes or a slight trickle.

 

Matt Jones seems to have brought all of Arkansas.  Not too many hogs left over.

 

My guess is we'd see a similar dynamic with Manziel, should the team draft him...but they would stay should he succeed.

Yes there is!!!


It is called 'the dead zone'. It's that time of year that exists when nothing of sporting significance is happening. Football is trying gear up for training camp. Basketball is winding down from the playoffs. Baseball is still weeks away from the all star break, and hockey is........... Hockey.


In short, get off these boards and get some sun. Once trainingcamp starts all outside life will cease to exist.
Signature goes here.

Don't forget the half dozen "Gene/Shack/Blaine/Alualu are the most terrible things that ever happened evah" threads.

 

And we never see another post from anyone with any form of Johnny Manziel in the user name. Thank diety.

I see you are in the UK, so this does not apply to you.

 

But this is what I look forward to during the dead zone.

The dead zone isn't so bad when you are only a few minutes from the ocean.

Theres no way you are vagrant. Vagrant was die hard Teddy Bridgewater, and I don't think he cared for Manziel at all.

Although this post was a great one by Dr. Football, he did forget two big ones.

 

The guaranteed, "What team will suck for Jameis Winston" and "Jags should give up for Jameis Winston" threads.

 

I love me some FSU and Jameis, but know how to differentiate my fandom between College and Pro.
