Man, I know it's only preseason and none of it matters and all that but that Jacksonville showing last night was insane high school football levels of god awful. They never even crossed the 50 yard line. You'd almost have to TRY not to do that, especially in the first preseason game and getting into 2nd half garbage time. Longest play from scrimmage = 16 yards. Longest rush = 8. Imagine paying full price for an NFL ticket to watch that during the pre-season.

Randaconda posted:Jim Brown quit because he had reached the top of the mountain and didn't think there was anything else he could do, so a bit different than poor Barry and Calvin getting beat down by the Lions. Right. I just meant top tier players who still had more left in the tank. I don't think it's fair to hang this on Luck's wife but even if she did influence his decision I'm having a hard time seeing anything wrong with that. Clearly, Luck is not right physically and more years in the NFL aren't going to help that. If his wife wants his health, body and brain intact moving forward then so what? Luck is young, intelligent, has a Stanford education, millions of dollars and a wife who loves him. I can't say I wouldn't walk either. Besides that he really doesn't have anything going for him. I assume he loses the remaining contract money but he's still got the garaunteed money he made along with his past salaries. Good for him really.

I've been listening to some sports talk radio today and seriously gently caress all these desk jockeys, pontificaters and assholes stirring up poo poo about Andrew. I'll listen to an honest negative opinion about it from a former athlete or whatever and, ok, maybe he could have done it sooner. Maybe he could have timed it better. Fine. But maybe he didn't KNOW until now and was trying to fight, push forward and convince himself to keep trying. And guys on the radio getting paid to talk poo poo and generate controversy to drum up ratings, along with the listeners and callers making GBS threads the bed about their fantasy drafts can get hosed. None of them would last a single scrimmage, a walk through, or a single 2 a day practice without checking themselves into a hospital or collapsing on the field and it pisses me off to hear them ranting about what someone should do with their body, their brain and their future while couching it in resentment for all the money they made. These players earn every loving dime they make, IMO, and Andrew Luck can do whatever the gently caress he wants to in order to maintain his health and enjoy his future with his wife. These players are modern day gladiators fighting lions every Sunday for the entertainment of the masses, gamblers and the Romans who own and make billions off of their bodies. Most of these players don't last 3 loving years and the ones that do pay an incredibly steep price for their longevity, salaries be damned. Sorry, but the idea of calling any of these dudes quitters or implying they're pussies who can't cut it just rubs me wrong. I wish Andre Luck the best of...well..luck moving forward.

I liked Andre Luck well enough and wish him well but people freaking out that it's the end of the world need to take a step back. Let's see if Brissett can play. Trent Green made way for Kurt Warner. Drew Bledsoe getting hurt allowed Tom Brady start. Nick Foles led Philly to their first Super Bowl win after Wentz went down. All 3 times each team and their fans assumed their seasons were doomed. Jim Plunkett was brought in off the scrap heap and led the Raiders to 2 Super Bowl victories in 4 years. Jeff Hostetler and Doug Williams led the their teams to championships when no one wanted them.

Metapod posted:E: well signing Foles was dumb but you have to gamble on QBs lol no. They needed to do something about Bortles and Foles was by far their best option. Their really dumb decision was not drafting DeSean Watson or Patrick Mahommes in 2107. Considering how many top tier draft positions they've had over the last decade, it's astonishing how little they have to show for it and some of the players they passed on. It's why they never improve. Look at some of these top 10 picks: Bortles, Luke Joekel, Blaine Gabbert, Justin Blackmon, Tyson Alualu and Dante Fowler. Leonard Fournette is looking like a bust. Jalen Ramsey is great, Josh Allen looks good and they've had some OK later round picks but their drafts overall have been just woeful. They've passed on Nick Chubb, Desean Watson, Amari Cooper, Todd Gurley, Khalil Mack, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham, Aaron Donald, Lane Johnson, Deandre Hopkins, Luke Kuechley, Fletcher Cox, JJ Watt, Mark Ingram, Jason Pierre Paul, Zach Ertz, Zack Martin, Laremy Tunsil, Pat Mahommes and Dez Bryant in this decade - drafting in the top 10 every year but one and SIX TIMES in the TOP FIVE. You'd think they'd get a star or 2 through sheer luck Those are just mostly the other first rounders and names that jumped out at me.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Yes but Foles' bad is still better than Bortles' best so whats your point? Metapod posted:I mean yeah he's probably better than Bortles but that doesn't mean you should sign him to a large 4 year deal Jags think their window is now and they may be right. They can build around that defense as long the offense doesn't gently caress poo poo up. Bortles and Nick have been in the league roughly the same amount of time and, looking at their lifetime stats, Foles has him beat in every single category, most notably in INT% which is what JAX needs. He's also got him beat in YPA by a full yard and by 8 points in QB rating. Having Difilipo around I think will help him. If Foles can find ANY support around him and get a WR to break out a little there will be a noticeable improvement in W/L record. Even if you consider the Chip Kelly and Jeff FIsher years as outliers, Nick's pretty solid and has shown flashes of greatness. He can throw guys open, make quick reads, throw long and usually doesn't make horrible mistakes. I'm optimistic.

Not AFC South related but watching the entire league and the fans gradually turn on Kap is just crazy. It even started before all the anthem bullshit. In his 1st 2 years starting, dude went 17-6 including a trip to the Super Bowl and one NFC title game. He electrified the league and had crazy running skills to boot. Any other QB with that on his resume would have been given infinite chances to play and recapture that. The 49ers went 8-8 then completely poo poo the bed and Kap went 2-6. All of a sudden apparently he couldn't play anymore which is insane. Even when they went 1-10, a look at the numbers hardly suggests you can hang that on him. I can't remember another QB with that sort of start to his career that everyone just suddenly decided sucked. Now that half the world hates him or whatever, it's been made retroactive to suggest that he always sucked. Who else had that sort of early success and then just went poof like that?

Culpepper and Sanchez too but both of them at least got more chances. poo poo, Sanchez played last year. Very poorly. Athanatos posted:There were plenty of times last year it was said "Man, the Jags would be real good with a QB better than Bort." Then you don't watch many Jags games obviously. Bortles' gently caress ups were even worse than your average turnover because the dude was famous throwing picks that went the other way for six. His flat and out routes would hit the other guy running with remarkable frequency, so basically handing the other team 7 points in a league where the average margine of victory is like 3 or 4. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pick_six_career.htm Bortles is #34 ALL TIME in career pick sixes with only 5 years under his belt. Wow. Almost all the names ahead of him are Hall of Famers who played forever and threw hundreds more passes. Favre, Marino, Namath, Brees and Peyton. I can't find a breakdown of pick sixes per attempt but a glance at that chart tells me Bortles is #2. I took a look at Lynn Dickey but he has 2x as many lifetime attempts. Jay Cutler has like 1.75x more. The only guy I can find who's worse is Joey Harrington so... yeah. I'll take Big Dick Nick. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Sep 1, 2019 |

I'm in. He did a hilarious press conference last week but gently caress if I can find the audio. Dude is funny, self deprecating, laid back, sarcastic and just oozing personality. He's got this "holy poo poo, I'm starting in the NFL, god drat can you believe it?" thing going on and, If he succeeds, he's going to get a lot of national press and soundbites. Picturing a scenario where he does well and once again Nick is relegated to back up status behind a charismatic, young up and comer and a QB controversy happens when Foles comes back. Or Minshew could flame out entirely and suck real bad, which is far more likely, but I'm rooting for him hard because he's so much loving fun

JT Jag posted:Khan siding with this mediocre management staff over the best player that's ever played for the franchise is what will finally convince me that this team is broken all the way to the management level Marrone is 2-14 in his last 14 games after a 10-6 AFC Championship Game run and a 3-1 start last year that included a win over NE. Jalen Ramsey is openly arguing with with him on the sideline and JAx is in the top 2 or 3 most penalized teams, specifically unsportsmanlike conduct, taunting and personal foul penalties during his tenure. Not looking good. All this team does is talk poo poo and celebrate bullshit while getting blown out and consistently loving up their drafts. Wouldn't surprise me if Marrone gets the axe during the bye and Coughlin rides out the year. And holy poo poo.

One of those 2 is gonna limp their way into the playoffs playing the most unsightly brand of football anyone can recall seeing. Not AFC south related but holy poo poo the Patriots are giving up less than 7 points a game and have double the point differential of their next closest competitor. Shadow225 posted:

Teams the Jags have lost to are 16-4 and 3 of those losses were within one score. 2 were on the road and all were with a rookie backup QB. They've allowed 13 points or fewer 3x and lost 2 of those somehow I still have hope. Not sold on the Colts and Tennessee is a loving mess.

They also have a lot of draft picks (that they'll probably gently caress up) from the Ramsey trade. They're not awful. No shame losing to KC, HOU by one point on the road with a rookie QB, and NO and CAR by a touchdown each (Panthers also on the road). Next week against the Texans will tell us a lot I think. Gonna get real weird when Foles is ready to play though (and they're saying he's close) and then a strange QB controversy develops. I don't know how you pull this kid at this point no matter how much they're paying Nick. If the trade deadline weren't in 2 days it wouldn't have surprised me to see Foles dangled in front of, say, Chicago just to see how desperate they are. Speaking of that, would the Bears bite on Marriotta? He might fit there since Trubisky is a disaster.

Intruder posted:you didn't have to get all whiny about it Please explain. I've been rooting for the Jaguars for 25 years. Is there some other way to do it? Also, the talk has already started down here about what to do at QB once Foles is healthy. I can't imagine yanking Minshew since he seems to be in a groove but consensus seems to be if they lose in London then Foles will start against Indy. I dunno. I like Nick and really wish he could get an honest shot to fully lead a team but Gardner seems to have an "it" factor and has been playing really well. He can also move around better than Foles and that comes in handy behind this average O-line. Asking your receivers to adjust to a new...chemistry I guess...midway through a season that's on the uptick seems risky. I guess it's a good problem to have but a full blown QB controversy is not something this team needs at 4-4. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Oct 29, 2019 |

All I said was that you won't really get a sense of where the Jags are as a team because the Texans are currently decimated by injuries, so any success you see against them doesn't necessarily translate into success against the rest of the league. You apparently took that as a personal affront, gave some sarcastic reply that "It'll show they're above the Texans in record", then got pissy that I brought up injuries as if I were using them as an excuse rather than a reason why stomping the Texans next week doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to go beat up the Patriots or Chiefs or Colts I didn't man.
