Wow, the Jaguars have surprised me. I stand corrected!

The Jags SUCK as a road team this year. Sure they won in NY, but were BLOWN out in SF, NE, Tenn and Seattle, on NATIONAL TV.

Garrard is a backup QB. He won't lead the team to wins in the playoffs, no matter if they Jags had the best WRs in the league. I do like the new WRs with the team, but Garrard shows he is a backup QB every week. Mark Brunell would be an improvement at this point, and probably sell more tickets.

Del Rio is not the problem, his staff is the problem. He has not had a consistent OC since he has been there, every year, there is turnover, seems Del Rio shuffles people out because he needs new people to blame for next year's failures. Weaver HAS TO SEE THIS. I see it, and I don't own Shoe Carnival.

All I can hope for is a few club seats available, (which should not be a problem given the pathetic Indy showing at Home), and a few upper deck seats for the company I work at, because it will be the corporate community that saves the team, not the walk-up seats.

It was fun and frustrating a little this yr. I enjoyed the Tenn home game the most. Jags did sweep the Texans this yr which was a bonus. IMO Del Rio is one of the problems and many fans believe that.

What has Del rio given us in 7 years other than bad draft picks, mediocre at best seasons, and one lucky playoff experience? We need a change.

Del Rio was never in charge of drafting.

Keith-N-Jax · December 30, 2009, 10:41:35 PM

Lucky playoffs,, the 07 Jaguars earned that spot in the playoffs. DG mistakes(ints) made it more interesting than it should have been in Pitts. I just hope we dont lose our team. Jaguars still could have done better this yr despite their roster.

QuoteDel Rio was never in charge of drafting.

He actually had veto power on picks with Shack Harris, so he is culpable with the draft picks during Shack's tenure. He was right there when they choose their picks. He can't wash his hands of some of these picks.

copperfiend · December 30, 2009, 10:47:40 PM

He never had veto power. Shack had final say. It is widely known that Del Rio wanted Brady Quinn in 2006 but Shack Harris overruled him.

Del Rio has consistently given us mediocrity. He (as the head coach) is ultimately responsible for the players on the field and their performance in their given roles/positions.

Fans have become very tired of his formula (and his weak excuses after horrific losses). He is (was) supposed to be some sort of defensive guru and the defenses that have rolled out under him have been horrible in recent seasons.

If Weaver wants to put asses in seats next season, he will make a coaching change (not coordinators and assistants-already been done every season) soon.

Keith-N-Jax · December 30, 2009, 10:50:51 PM

Well not a bad choice there. (Quinn that is). I do believe a change is needed. Since Rio has been here you always ask yourself before a Jag game, which team will show up. I never remember thinking that duriing TC days.

During the good years the Jaguars were unbeatable at home and average on the road but the last few Coughlin years were pretty hard to watch. Mostly aging has-beens and young never-weres.

Keith-N-Jax · December 30, 2009, 10:57:57 PM

True, but RIO Jags, sometimes I am lost for words.

DavidWilliams · December 30, 2009, 11:00:34 PM

I would love to see Dungy here if he were to come back to coaching and the Jags were willing to pay what he would command.

Keith-N-Jax · December 30, 2009, 11:06:56 PM

Del Rio and DG should have never been given those rich contracts. WW should have said do again and then we will talk. I think we are stuck with them both for a little while longer. I just hope the texans dont get cowher.

mtraininjax · December 30, 2009, 11:13:34 PM

QuoteShack had final say.

Actually according to a 2007 interview with Vito Stellino of the TU, Weaver said that WE (himself, coaches, personnel) agreed to pass on quinn and keep Left(Sand)wich as the QB. Del Rio is as culpable as Weaver as is Shack. Its a team, they're all in it together.

DavidWilliams · December 30, 2009, 11:28:15 PM

I will not even get started on Garrard (ok..guess I will). From a personal standpoint great guy (from my limited encounters with him). Mediocre NFL QB at best. He is not the future for this franchise. A guy that has been in the league 9 or so years and still makes rookie mistakes (consistently in potential game-winning drives) is not the answer.

Get a QB in this year's draft and develop him. Not Tebow! The guy from Cincy doesn't look bad nor does the guy from Oregon. Or my long shot (perhaps next year's draft) Ryan Mallett.
