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? 🤔

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
