TE Julius Thomas to Jags

[Zombie Slayer]

May we all have a moment of silence for his career.

lol.

Outside of a true 3 down back, you can't say the Jags haven't tried to help Bortles out.

But yea.....my god. Who would EVER want to live in Jacksonville? Had a friend who lived there for a time. Said it was absolute shit.

 

[Zombie Slayer]

I guess getting around $9 million a year helped his decision on living there lol

 

[Ram_Rally]

"Julius Thomas not going to Seahawks" is all I needed to hear

no state taxes too,so its that much more as well

The jags have 70 mil in available cap space. That much can build you a pretty promising team.

Maybe in other sports money buys teams, but the best players rarely see Free Agency in the NFL. What they're really buying with all that money is likely to be a whole lot of mediocre talent that only looked good because they played on a better team.

Not in one offseason it can't.

I would. I love living in Jacksonville. It's only absolute shit if you love the night life and partying. Great place to raise a family. Just gotta understand how the city is laid out. It's not built around downtown. Rather, it's a bunch of suburbs and independent areas.

Never said in one offseason. But I have seen some good players hit free agency lately. Also more cap space could secure players to keep playing on the team.

You can say they have tried but they have horribly failed.

Brandon Linder has panned out but outside of him...

• Luke Joeckel has been an absolute joke as well as the rest of that offensive line
• Toby Gerhart turned out to be a terrible starting running back and then sustained injuries
• They tried to convert Denard Robinson to a RB which saw a short stint of success until he got injured
• Justin Blackmon was obviously suspended
• Cecil Shorts was off and on with injuries (mostly off)
• Marcedes Lewis is old and spent half the season on IR
• Marquise Lee was out with hamstring issues for a portion of the year
• Rookie Allen Robinson got injured early on
• Clay Harbor was hurt after week 1
• OT Austin Pasztor was either out with injury or playing hurt at any given point
• Tommy Streeter emerged late in the season before even he got hurt

Maybe I'm forced to conclude that Jacksonville has the worst medical staff in history but the Jags have really missed the mark in providing a healthy supporting cast for Bortles.

Yet another validation of what Jeff Fisher, Les Snead and SK are doing - building a franchise the correct way.

We need to get this guy, we need to get that guy, we need to get the other guy.
The "Fantasy" guys need to get their collective heads out of their collective asses.

Just a general observation on my part.

( 9:00 pm local time. Happy hour was 4 hours ago - just sayin')

Wow, when you put it all on a list like that, it really paints a clear picture of how dismal their situation is. That's worse than the Spagnolo Cornerback crunch when he was in St. Louis.

eh hold off on that - didn't we have like 11 players on IR;like 6 at DB before week 1?

You may be right. It was very bad. Guys off the street were starting.

I blame Bradford. No...on second thought, I blame his contract.
