Blake Bortles: 2016 is "the worst nightmare possible."

#81

Quote: Along the lines of what you mentioned, the closer a player gets to Free Agency, the greater the chance he will want to test Free Agency.


^That is so very true.


If this thing doesn't improve next season or two, and frustration is still running high, there's a really strong chance that players will go elsewhere. Why wouldn't they? There's something to be said for loyalty, I guess. But, a lot of these guys will bolt if it's still a frustrating, three-ring circus going on.


-AROB boiling over.

-Malik being "humbled" by being here.

-Ramsey with tears on the sidelines after losing

-Telvin holding meetings to try and "right the ship" with a winning attitude.


Players won't stick around in a mess like this for very long (if they have any choice in the matter).


I'd hate to see some of these guys leave later (especially some of the young defensive core like Ramsey, Telvin, Yannick, Jack, etc.)

They can't all leave. There are only 31 other teams.

Quote:its been a chaotic offense all year. Bad playcalling, poor run blocking, LT coming off injury, weak at LG, get two injuries there, lose both starting TEs, running back injuries, no pass interference on our wrs ever, innacuracy issues, this weeks tipped pass Sterling caught was the first time it seems like the ball has actually bounced our way.


Extend Beachum, Linder, replace Parnel and LG. Spend all offseason reworking Bortles mechanics, bring in an offensive head coach. Extend Arob for 3 years at Randal Cobb type contract, resign Lee for less.


Learn from this nightmare of a season and come out swinging next year.


One thing I would add---


The Jaguars MUST bring in legitimate competition to vie for the starting qb position.


It's time to let bb6 know that the position is back up for grabs.

Quote:His body language during games confirms his public statements. How many times have you seen him get mad after a bad play? For me, way too many to count.
Ive seen him laughing and sometimes talking to himself

I've seen him get frustrated many times after bad plays.

   What you mentioned is probably the # 1 reason why I think Shad Khan made a mistake by keeping Gus Bradley as HC after the team's game in Tennessee.   With 10 days to the next game,  that was the time I think Khan should have sent a message that the product on the field isn't acceptable.   The message would have not only been to the fans of the Jaguars but to the players and everyone associated with the football operation of the team.

You were not alone. That would have been the perfect time to do it and it seemed likely when Shad Khan said, "Actions speak louder than words."

No, but some of them surely will if given the chance, if this circus (suckiness) keeps up much longer.

Telvin Smith is a baller. I sincerely doubt he'll ever want to leave.

 

He strikes me as one of those guys that's going to be here and be a leader forever. This team has done nothing but treat him well

 

I just hope it pays off.

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

99.9% of free agents will go where the money is. It doesn't matter how bad a team is. Look at Malik Jackson. Of course there are your outsiders who will take less money to play for a team closer to Super Bowl contention, but in general, that isn't the case.

 

I'm not worried about Allen Robinson leaving. He is replaceable.

Most athletes have some form of an ego. They'll listen to a smooth talker who says that "they" are the missing piece and that "they" are the one thing missing to right the ship. It is amazing what pride can do to manipulate people.

Sorry but I am worried. Yeah he's having a down year but I remember the years of WR purgatory

Is he? 

 

Young WRs who drop 80 for 1400 and 14 TDs don't grow on trees. That's what he can do when his QB is somewhat consistent.

There are way more things that would keep me up at night than Allen Robinson leaving. I am not taking anything away from the guy, but nothing comes easy for him. Every catch he makes seems to have to be an amazing catch. He is never wide open, isn't a deep threat. 

 

Let's not overvalue AR15.

Arob is kind of a Muhsin Muhammid type receiver.  Really good #2.  We thought we had a 1 and were wrong.  I think he has gotten beat up some this season and the refs haven't helped him at all.  Probably needs to bulk up some to beat press, he has never really had the wheels to run by people.  He needs to set a physical tone to be effective.  Too much finesse in his game this year.


Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good
  • On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
  • Lattimore please,  Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
  • Engram at TE and the MJD clone Samaje Perine
