What Happened Dirk?

by atgators on Nov 26, 2011 6:15 PM EST in Meta-Jacksonville Jaguars

Remember the good ole days when the Jaguars were one of the top offensive teams in the league? Well I'm going to tell you five reasons why the Jaguars are last in the league this year.

1. The first reason is because of ROOKIE quarterback Blaine Gabbert, (I'm not saying this because he is bad but just because he is a rookie and is still getting used to the NFL life.)

2. The Receivers - The corps that the Jaguars have now have just been mediocre at best this season.

3. Dirk Koetter - Dirk has had some really questionable play calls this season, for example the Blaine Gabbert almost game winning drive with 3 seconds left at the goal line.

4. Marcedes Lewis - What happened to the Pro Bowl TE we all were used to seeing? Instead we have seen the butter finger Marcedes (granted some throw by Blaine were overthrown and almost impossible to catch, and some might have been under thrown by Blaine, but you still have to catch the football.)

5. Guy Whimper - I don't even have to explain why for this one.

6. Finally, I don't like to write end my articles with negatives, so I will end with one positive for this offense and that is Maurice Jones-Drew.

if you notice...

MJD is reason number 6, not 5. And if you read correctly he gave 5 reasons why our offense is bad and one good thing about our offense like he said.

until it was mentioned that whimper should be there, MJD was #5

Offensive line too

Whimper shouldn’t be starting at all.

You can't reason with unreasonable people.
If you ain't first, you're last.

Anybody want to go o the game but don't have tickets (or money for tickets)?

I have 4 tickets in 219, row BB. My buddy canceled last minute, and I am looking to give them to a Jags fan who wants them.
I won them, so you can have them free.

Re: the last play last week

Gabbert is not Maurice Jones-Drew, but he can run. The play that gives you the best chance to win the game is a play that gives you the most options, and spreading the field with a mobile QB gives him the opportunity to exploit 5 different receiver routes, but also to tuck and run if he sees a path to the endzone.

I actually wanted to see a rollout-type play so that Gabbert could have a chance to run, but the call made enough sense for me to be OK with it.

Yea

Yea but passing the ball two straight times on the goal line wasn’t the smartest thing to do

It's "not smart" because it didn't work.

If it had worked, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Drafting Matt Jones was "not smart" because it didnt work.

If it had worked, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

See how that logic works?

If they had run MJD on that last play and it didn't work

people would be complaining that the play was too predictable.

There’s a reason hindsight is 20-20.

Sad thing is

People still want Dirk to replace Jack after this season as head coach

How much can you really do with...

…an inaccurate QB and some bad receivers? It isn’t that Blaine is a rookie, he can’t put the ball on point and he looks afraid. I can understand being a little bit antsy in the pocket because he’s a rookie, but that’s not an excuse for being as inaccurate as he’s been.
