Your last comment about the worst 25 made me think. My list below is mostly made of the most disappointing Jaguars who never lived up to expectations. Here it is:

1. Blaine Gabbert-  Had great physical tools, but was terrible between the ears. Nope, he had several OCs, didn't have decent WRs for their firt 2 or 3 years and Del Rio was always awful at developing Offensive players. Gabbert is nowhere near dumb.

2. Justin Blackmon- What a waste of talent! He teased us with some great performances before finally succumbing to his alcohol problems.

3. Derrick Harvey- Worst trade in Jags history when they moved up to get him. Wrong again, actually that was a great trade wasted on a horrible player. We went like from 29 to 9 for a 3rd or something like that

4. Julius Thomas- Without Manning throwing to him, he was nothing special. Waste of a lot of money.

5. Bryce Paup- First really big free agent signing who turned out to be nothing special. More money wasted.

6. Luke Joeckel- Everyone said this guy was a can't miss prospect at left tackle. They were very wrong. 

7. Byron Leftwich- His terribly slow delivery could not be overcome. Might end up being a better coach than player. Dude was decent and much better than Garrard overall, Garrard had 1 good season. He also didn't laugh like an idiot after an INT or a loss like Garrard

8. Reggie Williams- Had his moments on the field, but too inconsistent and a real "head case." Dude was decent, I followed him every game, and there were several plays where he was open and Leftwich never looked his way. He could have been a decent #2. BTW Reggie only got into problems when Matt Jones arrived

9. R.J. Soward- Speaking of head cases, this guy took the cake. Probably the only guy who needed a chauffer (sp) to make it to practice. I imagine T.C. still has nightmares about him.

10. Toby Gerhart- Just terrible.

11. Andre Branch- Ditto

12. Derek Cox- Traded up to get him and the guy could never stay healthy. He was decent here

13. Mike Sims-Walker- Looked great in pre-season. Ketchman gushed over his receiving skills. He also couldn't stay healthy.

14. Michael Cheever- Could have been a pro-bowler only to have devastating injury to end his career just after it started.

15. Tavian Banks- Ditto

16. Matt Jones- Horrible draft pick in the first round. 

17. Khalif Barnes- Had talent which never materialized. Also got into trouble off the field. Another guy who was decent and doesn't deserve to be on the list.

18. Blake Bortles- Why so low? It's hard to be disappointed when you've seen very little to give you hope.

19. Bryan Anger- What was Caldwell thinking? 

20. Austin Pasxtor- Very poor pass protector paid way too much in free agency.

21. Zane Beadles- Another free agent bust on the offensive line.

22. Hugh Douglas- Tied for biggest [BLEEP] in team history with

23. Jerry Porter- 

24. Terrance Knighton- Had a great nickname, but his weight problems caused him to never rech his potential. He had like 1 bad season and he is here? I think he was a pro bowler one season

25. Jason Myers- How could a guy kick 55 yard field goals yet cause you to hold your breath on every extra point attempt? Now a pro-bowler.

Who did I leave out?
