Why are they even a team? I’m pretty confident if you did a count they would have the least amount of fans in the NFL.

And those fans are broke. My company has 50 branches across the country and the one that struggles by far the most despite having an excellent GM is the Jacksonville branch. The median household income there is one of the lowest in the country for any major media market and Jax has to compete for team loyalty with 2 other FL franchises, one of which is defending SB champs.

Don't get me wrong, I thought hiring Meyer was a dumb move on the part of Jacksonville.  I am not a fan of hiring college coaches for NFL teams, especially when they come from big programs where he main path to success is recruiting well. 

But they had a bad team last year, and added a rookie qb this year.  They would likely be 0-4 regardless of who the coach is.  

Ya the two things the NFL seem to have in short supply these days is good coaches and kickers.

Long story short, I was adopted & knew it since I can remember.

My mom's dad (a member of the 761st in WWII btw) had a friend/neighbor who was a member of the 332nd in WWII. Yes the Tuskegee Airmen.

I started randomly "adopting" people when I was about 5 & granddad died a year later. Mr./Cpt. J took over granddad duties whenever I was up there, he didn't have to, but did out if love & respect, so its in honor of him.

 

That's cool.  I was in the 332nd Air Expeditionary Group while deployed in Iraq with the A10s from the 23rd Fighter Group before Pope AFB closed.

This. I always wondered why Jacksonville. It's literally like giving Fayetteville a football team.

My company sells a product I almost guarantee you'd recognize. I've mentioned my role in the company before in other posts so for reasons of privacy I won't get more specific than that, but it's something you'd put on your home.

So you're not the guy who keeps trying to get in touch with me about my car's extended warranty? 🤔

    • We beat Atlanta by 30 in the first meeting
    • The situation here was the doing of David Tepper.  Frank Reich didn't want Young, he wanted Stroud. Stroud fit his QB mold better than Young. So yeah, he didn't design an offense for him. He was lied to by his boss and he didn't want to be here. Would you? It sucks for Young, but as I said, that has nothing to do with his terrible footwork, poor mechanics, his shitty drop backs, fumble issues, not bothering to look off the Atlanta safety that turned into a pick 6 by his own admission. Those were all things that had nothing to do with Frank, the OL or the rest of the team.  And Houston wasn't a complete team. They had the 2nd pick in the draft because they sucked. They built a team and had a damn good HC that I wanted here but he refused Tepper's interview.  Young has been protected in ways no other QB has. Dalton has been kept because he has never been a threat to take the job from Young. We signed him to a 2 year deal this offseason when it was clearly evident we needed an upgrade. For 2m more per year we could have and should have looked at Brissett if we didn't go after Howell, Russell, Winston or anyone else. Anyone else other than Dalton would have been a serious risk to take Young's starting job. If Young hadn't been the 1st overall pick, and been a day 3 pick instead, he would have been cut as a rookie. If he were on any other team as a starter, this message board would be laughing like hell at whoever was starting him for 3 years. That's why this team gets murdered when Young doesn't play. He's been sheltered from ever having to worry about his job and the QB room proves it.  I've been extremely critical of how this team has been constructed the past 3 years, especially on offense. But this whole narrative that Bryce has always been good enough and it's everyone else's fault that he's not succeeding isn't matching up to what he's been putting on the field week in and week out. 
    • He sucks to be honest. He hasn't made much of a difference at all.
