Latavius Murray to visit the Jags tomorrow

Good and bad news. Confirms they are in the market for another running back.

Like Fournette Murray has the size Coughlin likes in his backs. 6'3 225.

3 year vet. Scored 12 TD's and averaged 4 ypc last year in 14 games. Had over 1000 yards year before with only 6 TD's in 16 games.

I'm starting to ponder if we should make a run at the guy. Only 27 years old and only 3 years of NFL wear and tear. Provides a future replacement to Stewart and insurance if Fournette is gone.

This is good and bad in terms of our chances of getting Fournette. It can be good if the Jags sign him cuz that would presumably take them out of the market of drafting a RB with that 4th pick (but who really knows its the jags), bad in if that they don't sign him, we now know they are in the market for a RB, increasing their chances of drafting Fournette.

I still don't think they are drafting Fournette. 

I think they are drafting a QB. You heard it hear first. They came out of nowhere to draft Bortles, wouldn't be surprised if they shocked everyone with a QB.

Nah this is Bortles last season if he sucks again. They want to get a guy like Leonard to take some pressure off Bortles. On paper they have everything you want. 

If/when they suck again, if it's because of QB play they'll draft their guy early next year

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
