Jags? Talk about a crappy team in an unworthy, sprawling megalopolis. To this day I can't understand how the NFL granted this place an expansion franchise. The only football this city should see is high-caliber high school ball that feeds our program and ONLY our program and the WLOCP. Period.

Assuming these perpetual losers don't eff this up by winning their final games, Lawrence is going to love playing in London.
this guy has a bright future.

I don't know whether that chick or the uniform is worse.

Houston is down, Colts are ok, and Titans are killing it with the ex dolphins/A&M QB tannehill which is not just a fluke, it's 2 years now

Lets go Jags get it together

I don't have a dog in the fight, so I don't really care one way or the other about the city or its football team. Its apparently your city and team and you support them. I understand and respect that.

If I rank NFL cities, only two rank lower on my personal list than Jax and those have an asterisk. At the bottom for me would be Las Vegas. Having so many outlets for sports wagering nearby and given that the NFL is not populated by the brightest bulbs in the package, it is only a matter of time before some player genius gets caught up in some kind of point shaving scandal. Players manipulating results for betting purposes goes straight to the heart of the integrity of the game. So for me, Vegas would be a no go for a sports team based on legal sports wagering. The brothels aren't such a good idea around these guys, either, IMO. To me, Vegas and pro athletes are a dangerous combo and disqualify the city completely. Now maybe these guys today make so much money that they wouldn't be tempted to do shady things, but I doubt it. Why tempt fate?

The other city lower on the list is Green Bay. But they are a relic from like the 1920s, have a trophy case full of championships, a huge stable of legendary players, the most iconic coach in the league's history, a cathedral for a stadium and are crazy-well supported. As maybe the Notre Dame of the NFL, they are one of the small handful of franchises that make up true NFL royalty. But if you were looking to establish an expansion franchise in the mid-'90s, absent all that history, GB would not be on any list.

All of Jax's shortcomings could be erased by consistent playoff runs and a Lombardi trophy or two - but again, they've been right there among the league's laughingstocks.

So recent history suggests you guys will "Jag up" the first pick in the upcoming draft, or that Lawrence will have to learn to live on a steady diet of bangers and mash washed down with a room temp. ale.
At one point you were my favorite poster. This entire post dropped you close to the very bottom. Very close.

You guys interested in trading for that pick? I’ve got a ginger QB that you wouldn’t believe. We’ve wisely kept the mile off of him by sitting him most of each year. Tall, rocket arm, looks like Prince Harry. Think about it and let me know.

I feel sorry for Lawrence. The kid is gonna have the weight of a whole city and franchise on his shoulders. Also I’m not as convinced as most that he’ll be a great pro. Fawning over football players is never really a good idea. If there’s one thing I know without a shadow of a doubt it’s that no one is fool proof in the NFL. You never quite know how a player’s skills will translate on the next level. So I’d be a little more cautious in my expectations if I were a jags fan.

I can't wait until Doug Marrone trolls the entire city of Jacksonville by winning one of the last two games. It is going to be glorious. He will be the most hated man in the city.

That hurts. I thought we was boys.

For all of the criticism I've taken in this thread, I've noticed no one has bothered to argue the merits - that the Jags suck balls, that Jax is not real NFL city, and that putting grown men with zillions of dollars and IQs and impulse control of 7th graders in a city with rampant sports wagering and legalized prostitution is probably not a good idea.

I wasn't there. But I was sure as hell cheering with every Bears score. That is unit the Bears had it in the bag and we looked even worse. They can actually try to win next week.


:bwahaha:

In case no one saw it, this is the worst roughing the passer penalty I have ever seen.
