The Jaguars are slowly making me rethink this tanking thing

No 1 overall pick QB that was considered a way more elite prospect at draft time than any of these QBs coming out this year. 

Plus a SB winning head coach and they have the same exact record as us. I’m torn, a part of me loves the idea of having that no 1 pick and getting our pick of the litter, but seeing how big of a crap shoot it is and a team like the Jags can have both a No 1 picked QB AND a SB winning HC and they still can’t get it right, it has me thinking that things aren’t so cut and dry when it comes to a winning formula in the NFL

I mean we’ve been tanking for 3(+) years. The NFL is a finite window sport(id argue 6 years). Every team is going to slump, it’s just a question how long they let it fester. 

All of the teams under Rhule could have been wild card teams with a better coach I think.

Somewhat doubtful. Though if he had stuck with Teddy on his contract, we might have been able to make some waves in the second year. 

I disagree mostly because 8 wins would have done so and Rhule managed to mismanage the way to so many close losses... But I actually agree somewhat Teddy B doesn't leave if they make the playoffs and we don't waste millions on Darnolds and Teddy B being a Bronco.... 

 

We lost a LOT of games we should have won under fool.

It's hard to shake from a loser mentality once you become accustomed to it.

 

Tanking is a loser mentality. People need to get over this. Fans who want to tank are looking to the future. Fans like you are looking at the now. 
Of course players won’t tank they don’t care about draft picks or the fact a win is meaningless.

    • I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking. 
    • Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him. 
    • Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
