If the Music City Miracle didn't happen, we would have beaten the Bills, and most definitely beaten the Rams. We should have been the champs that year.

The Panthers made the chmapionship game in the second and same season, not that big of a deal. With a fit Fred Taylor, it's not that big of a deal as well, anything can happen...well, except one thing...

...No team, regardless of circumstance or if Fred Taylor is playing, were going to beat the '99 Rams!
 
oh dear

Jacksonville has a new NFL owner and a new head coach. But now it also has new PR problems.

Not only was the hire of coach Mike Mularkey panned by critics Wednesday, Jaguars owner Shahid Khan is in serious damage control mode after his comments about what makes a fan of his team.

Khan explained just what it takes to be a Jaguars fan, in his opinion: “I think I can clarify at this point for me a fan is somebody who is a season ticket holder fan for the Jaguars,” said the new owner. “We want to hear from people, we want a huge amount of constructive feedback. We need input, but we need that from fans who are season ticket holders.”

So the implication is if you’re down on your luck and can’t afford season tickets in a state hit hard by the recession, you’re not a true fan.

------------
New owner of the Jags endearing himself to the fans.

Some owners are just out of touch with reality. Lower the costs of season tickets and the fans will come. It aint rocket science.

That's one of the reasons I don’t attend games.
Good tickets are about 200-250. Parking is 25-50, and you need another 70-100 snacks and drinks.
300+ for one person to attend.
Not worth it for me. I rather get Direct TV NFL for that much money.

Jaguars training camp off to rough start

Posted by Evan Silva on July 30, 2012, 12:49 PM EDT

Unsigned first-round pick Justin Blackmon has missed five days of camp. Franchise running back Maurice Jones-Drew is holding out, with no resolution in sight. Big-ticket offseason addition Laurent Robinson struggled throughout the first few practices, and dropped more passes on Monday. Head coach Mike Mularkey says $35 million tight end Marcedes Lewis “has to get in better shape.”
They drafted a punter in the third round.
Jaguars training camp is off to a brutal start. One development that could spark the team would be a big second-year leap from quarterback Blaine Gabbert. But if Monday’s training camp display was any indication, Gabbert isn’t yet ready to deliver.
According to Vito Stellino of the Florida Times Union, Gabbert executed just one completion among 12 passing snaps in Monday’s morning practice. He scrambled seven or eight times. The remainder of Gabbert’s dozen passing plays fell incomplete. Mularkey explained away Gabbert’s tendency to scramble as a product of coaching. As relayed by Stellino, Gabbert is “taught not to force throws.”
Perhaps the receivers were to blame. Or maybe the offensive line. Either way, Gabbert doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt after an abysmal rookie year. And based on the training camp attendance and performance of his would-be supporting cast, Gabbert isn’t exactly rallying his teammates. If he’s going to meet expectations inherent for a top-ten draft pick, Gabbert needs to elevate his team’s play.
Disregard Stellino’s practice stats, and the first few days of Mularkey’s first Jaguars camp still couldn’t have played out much worse. For Jacksonville to silence the preseason doubters, Mularkey is going to need a whole lot more help from his players.
 
Nothing is won or lost on the first day of camp, but yes it could have been better. When MJD gets his thumb out of his arse I'm sure the rest of them will lift. Wish Blackmon would also sign up.
 
Gabbert needs his o-line to STAY healthy for him as his ball security is hurting the Jags. Eq League High : 14!! (lost 8). Needs to play a conservative game very similar to Alex Smith who adjusted under Jim Harbaugh, Smith played smarter and to his limitations last season. Greg Olson, not TE from Chic fame, is the Jags QB coach having coached @ TB last few years. No O-linemen drafted from Missouri into NFL in recent years. Gabbert had an impressive 127 passer rating in his senior year @ Missouri. His highest passer rating game (102) was the season opener when the Jags got slapped 32-3 @ the J-E-T-S. Of his 40 sacks last season, 30 were in losses.
 
Jags finish three straight years with no blackouts



play_g_everbank_d1_576.jpg


With more than a few teams continuously facing an inability to sell out all (or, in some cities, to sell at least 85 percent) of the non-premium seats, the Jaguars aren’t.

The franchise will be completing its third straight season without a local blackout. More importantly, the Jags are pulling it off this year without having to buy any of the tickets in order to ensure a single sellout.

“People who think we’re at the bottom of the table in the NFL, that’s just not true,” team president Mark Lamping tells the Florida Times-Union.

From a wins-and-losses perspective, the Jags share the lower rung with the Chiefs, at 2-12. But the fans have supported the team unconditionally.

“I’m very proud of the way the organization has responded to some of the challenges we’ve put in front of them and the fan response has been unbelievable,” Lamping said. “If we were performing as well as our fans, we would be having a banner year.”

Of course, fans in few cities will support a two-win team indefinitely. In Jacksonville, the excitement of a new owner who is committed to the building up the area has helped create a short-term push. For long-term success, the team needs to compete for a playoff berth at least once every five years, if not more often.

That will be the next challenge for Shahid Khan. And it could result in changes to the front office or coaching staff. Lamping made clear, however, that football isn’t within his job duties.

“Shad is working that,” Lamping said. “I’m focused on the business side.”

Lamping should be grateful this week for that, with a team like the Patriots coming to town. He also should be grateful for the fact that ticket interest from Pats fans has helped the Jags partially remove the tarps, selling an extra 2,600 tickets.

Also helping Lamping on the business side over the next four years is that, with one home game per played in London. With a 12.5-percent reduction in annual inventory, it’ll be even easier to sell tickets.
 
Report: Tim Tebow playing next year for Jaguars “a virtual certainty”


350x-628-e1352940407358.jpg


When the Broncos put Tim Tebow on the trade block in March, only the Jets and the Jaguars were interested. The Jets ended up with him, but are widely expected to send him packing this offseason.

That leaves the Jaguars as perhaps the only team in the NFL that wants Tebow.

In fact, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that it’s “a virtual certainty” that Tebow will play for the Jaguars in 2013. Mortensen says Jaguars owner Shad Khan still wants Tebow in Jacksonville, just as he did in March, and this time Khan is likely to get his man.

From a business perspective, it makes a lot of sense. Tebow is probably Florida’s most popular athlete, and acquiring him would be a major boost for a team that has often struggled to sell tickets. It’s no surprise that Khan thinks having Tebow in the fold would be good for his bottom line.

The question is whether it makes sense from a football perspective. The Jaguars don’t have a clear-cut starter at quarterback, so adding someone who has started and won games would seem to be a wise decision. But would Tebow be able to develop into a long-term franchise quarterback? Or would the presence of Tebow serve as a distraction to the Jaguars’ efforts to get a long-term franchise quarterback in place?

The risk of distraction is real, but it’s apparently a risk Khan is willing to take.

That's what the Jets owner thought. Probably set the Jags back a few years.
 
Makes no sense - we sell out every game but need Tebow to sell tickets?

I am also a huge Tebow fan so would love to see him in Jacksonville - hell it's not like we have a competitive outfit they he can tear apart anyway.

Also lol at the quote suggesting being in 'playoff contention' once every 5 years would be seen as a success. :rolleyes:

Would have to be Tebow's last chance.

Many QBs don't even get a chance, or a proper chance. Tim's got one last one.

When has he had a chance?

Last year, he came in to fill in for Kyle Orton who sucked. He came in a took a 1-4 team to the playoffs and won againts Pitt.

Hes never been handed the keys properly.

Roman instantly becomes coaching candidate in Jacksonville


roman.jpg


With Dave Caldwell becoming the G.M. in Jacksonville, the first order of business will be to determine whether to retain coach Mike Mularkey. And while their mutual history in Atlanta could help, Caldwell has other ties that run far deeper.

As Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com explains it, Caldwell’s arrival makes 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman a candidate for the Jacksonville job. Roman and Caldwell, write Maiocco, were teammates and roommates at John Carroll University.

“Dave’s in Atlanta,” Roman said Tuesday, before Caldwell took a new job. “We might end up playing them, so I’m really not talking to Dave right now.”

There have been mixed reports regarding whether Mularkey will return after only one season as the Jaguars’ head coach.
 
Caldwell slams the door on a Tebow homecoming

350x-315.jpg

It is widely believed that Jaguars owner Shahid Khan loves him some Tim Tebow.

It should not be believed by anyone that new G.M. Dave Caldwell shares that view.

“I can’t imagine a scenario where he’d be a Jacksonville Jaguar,” Caldwell said of Tebow at an introductory press conference, via multiple reports.

If Khan truly wanted Tebow, Khan could have imposed that condition on anyone hired as G.M. and head coach. Of course, Khan in turn may have had an even harder time hiring a G.M. and a coach than Jets owner Woody Johnson is having hiring a G.M. with Rex Ryan in place as the head coach.
For Tebow, it means there’s one less landing spot for him in 2013. Not including Canada.
 
Jags take a mulligan, to interview Schottenheimer again


300x-6.jpg


If at first you don’t succeed, give it a shot with a new general manager.

A year after interviewing for the Jaguars job that went to Mike Mularkey, Brian Schottenheimer will get a chance to replace him.

According to multiple reports, the Jags asked for permission to interview the Rams offensive coordinator Thursday.

While many have linked new Jags GM David Caldwell to his old college friend, 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Schottenheimer’s the first in line. Owner Shad Khan was in on last year’s interview, but Caldwell’s the one he’ll have to impress.

If the 49ers fall out of the playoffs this weekend, Roman will likely surface quickly.

I still think they are a chance. He prints money and can not be worse then what they already have.
Without him they are in LA by the end of the decade
 
Jaguars hire Gus Bradley as head coach


gus-bradley.jpg


Gus Bradley is the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That’s the word from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and FOX’s Jay Glazer, who reported on Thursday morning that Bradley had accepted the Jaguars’ head-coaching position.

Bradley, a defensive coordinator who spent the last four years on the Seahawks’ staff, became a hot coaching candidate after Seattle’s defense went on a dominant run down the stretch in the regular season.

Bradley was believed to be the Eagles’ choice if they hadn’t been able to convince Chip Kelly to leave Oregon. As it turned out, even though Bradley lost out on the Philadelphia job, it took him less than 24 hours to become coach of the Jaguars.
