Just stop. You are only setting yourself up for a letdown. Anderson had no preseason with this team and he's approaching Brady age. We all know how this will end.

I'd like to play, but your draft depends on your FA signings. If we don't sign anyone... OL first two picks. It's not conventional but good OL are way overpriced in FA and the rest were allowed to walk for a reason. Good WRs can be had in FA and have a better ROI if you do your homework.

Somehow he still benefits from illegal picks by his receivers. Game after game

First game I've had a chance to watch this year. Allen is the real deal. He reminds me in some ways of Jim Kelly when he was young. Different styles of course, but I totally expect to see Allen bringing down a defender on a pick off like Kelly used to. As soon as he gets some experience, he is going to be one of the best in the league.

Didn't see the game today, so thanks for the thoughts. This team will improve over the season and every year, teams that start hot, fade by Thanksgiving. We have been that team a couple of times. Let McD build his team and sort out coaching. Looks like every draft pick will be O-line next year.... Wouldn't hurt in the long term.

I'll have what he is drinking!

Thankfully didn't watch this one. Very disappointed that they were so unprepared for Baltimore. I understand the lack of talent on offense and the inability to address it in the off-season due to salary cap hell, but it seems that the OC and DC lacked any imagination in dealing with that. Maybe best to root for an 0-fer season and clean up in the draft next year.

OK, I can't take it much longer. It's spelled "drought". "Draught" is a British word (draft). Oh, the drought is not over, it was just interrupted by one game....

McCarron's arm looks just fine here.

I think the one thing that fans can reasonably call out GM's on is their philosophy of drafting. For example, I have always believed that good football players are better choices than guys who have eye-popping measurables but no real success at the college level to show. Especially with quarterbacks, you can see clearly that a guy is a winner, one of those guys who hates losing more than anything in the world. Maybe he is an inch short and doesn't jump as high, but he makes everyone around him better. Hoping to coach up a player at the pro level too often is a fool's errand.

Would love to see Josh Sweat on this team. He is a baller. Go Noles!

They never asked about that troublesome completion percentage.

But the boat will still sink if you plug the one big hole. IOW get a QB in this draft and you have a choice to make. Play him right away and waste all that effort (cause he will get killed and lose any confidence he had) or sit him at least a year until you can somehow rebuild your OL and get 2 good WR and maybe a great TE. The boat will likely sink in 2018 no matter what you do.

Maybe, but this is my prediction.

Our run D might not feel that way

LB, WR and OL are very weak areas. I see Beane standing pat at no. 12 and trying to rebuild the roster.

I have high hopes that this guy can be good for a couple years, while a rookie learns the pro game. Starting rookies almost never works. You ruin them quickly. If I were drafting QBs, I would put emphasis on how well they played against the best college teams. Winners are winners and you can't force that at the pro level. Accuracy and toughness are not something that can be coached, so those are next on the list. I'm not enamored of this QBs mechanics. He seems to flail around a lot, but he's fearless and I like that.

Don't most college systems rely on the imbalance of talent between teams? One would think there is a good reason that the Oregon offense didn't work in the NFL.

Probably need to trade both 1sts for a shot at QB

Why did I click on this....

Bye Tyrod

He was probably still butthurt. Just saying a lot of calls were going our way that usually don't. Maybe the NFL has forgiven us for those SB losses.

Had to make it look good and I think he was right.

I'm not, but it seemed weird. I think they were trying diffuse the issue from last week!

With this weather, head to St Augustine (about 30 minutes south) and America's oldest city. It's worth it. If you get there really early, head down south a couple of hours to Kennedy Space Center. Not much in Jax itself, except the beach and it's too cold for that. The zoo is good, though. Oh yeah, just about 40 west is the Olustee battlefield where the South won one of its last battles.
