LOL what a shit show.
Yea.  Front office should not be engaging the players in social media wars.  Seems unprofessional and low brow.  Also reinforces Jaguar organization (and maybe the City too) stereotype  But what do I know.

My fish finally get their QB today :-) Listening to Miami radio online now.

I was really hoping this morning's rumors about Ngakoue to the Raiders would go somewhere - not just because the Jags would get another first rounder, but because I couldn't wait to hear Gruden mangle his name 45 different ways in the press conference.

Lee is a better receiver than he's perceived to be, due to all the injury problems.

Lee's career has a steady downward trajectory since his sophomore year at USC.  He's not making 1200 yds next season.

You're right about the latter, of course (and I don't think SMM was being serious).  But credit where credit is due, Lee was a pretty solid player for Jacksonville in 2016-17 and hardly anyone noticed because he was injured so much in 2014-15, Greg Olson made him the "albino tiger" punch line, and because 2016 was so disastrous overall.  Decent productivity, went over the middle fearlessly, got separation on crossing routes, did a very good job of high-pointing the 50/50 balls, excellent run blocker for the position.  He was a heck of a lot more productive than Allen Hurns in both years, yet most Jaguar fans favored Hurns much more so than Lee.

He also had an odd mix of ridiculously athletic catches and ridiculously easy drops in his portfolio.  Jag fans tended to remember the latter and forget the former.  And then even before the 2018-19 injuries, the fact that the Jags retained him while letting Robinson walk caused a lot of Jag fans to sour further on him.

Tua it is. Who says tanking a season for your player doesn't work?!

Crap. We have desperate needs on offense and they go local DB.....

Lake, how is the Dolphins O line? QB can't do much on his back side.

We have two more years and a ton of additional picks to get that right!

Gotta love Giants Gettleman...reaches for a pick at 4 and then reaches for a mask with no one else is in the room.

Haha - turns out there's a decent reason. There's apparently a couple IT guys behind the scenes, and he's a Lymphoma survivor.

I thought it was a gag too until that came out.

OK  very disappointed so far.  If the NFL didn't have that pesky "Team that Scores the Most Wins" Rule I wouldn't care.

You gonna see a lot of 12-6 and 17-9 games next year, and we won't be winning them, at this pace.  I would rather be losing 42-39.

That's a lot more fun to watch....  We could have greatly improved our offense (and given Minshew an elite outside threat) in the first round and let it go.

There are still plenty RBs and WRs left on the board.
