Jaguars QB Luke McCown is not a downgrade

…a lot of these national talking heads eating crow and backpedalling come Monday morning!

GO JAGS!!!!

He looked great in the preseason. The offense looked completely different when he was in. The problem is that it was against backups and backup’s backups. I don’t know what to expect

Or will they put in a conservative plan for him?

Check back to the unlimited refrences in the lsat three years to receivers running open David didn’t see or choose not to throw too. Check the stack of David holding the ball for way too long instead of letting it go and ending up with yet another foolish unnecessary sack. Mr. King has not seen David play much or he would know that in the last three seasons the number of times David punished a team for loading the box or blitzing or leaving single coverage hoovers right around zero. If look is even marginally better at these things, and I think he has the potential to be markedly better, we will have and upgrade at QB. How significant? I can’t wait to find out!

Man today was a great spirited practice…moving forward and excited about our opportunity as a football team! @MarcedesLewis89 (tight end Marcedes Lewis)

Man today was a great spirited practice…moving forward and excited about our opportunity as a football team! @MarcedesLewis89 (tight end Marcedes Lewis) From reading player tweets and quotes, I get the feeling that the players may actually be a bit happy that Garrard is gone, or at least not starting. Of course they are going to be the PR darlings and say all the right things to the cameras but behind closed doors I feel the players got what they wanted. They knew from practice and the work put in by Luke that he was indeed better that Garrard. The ineffectiveness of the offense in preseason may have had more to do with a lack of chemistry in the locker room to the field more so than anything. Say what u want, but not voting Garrard captain was very telling. Luke came early, stayed late for practice, dave did not. Luke knew his playback and could execute it fully, dave didn’t. There is more to that terrible Monday practice than the organization wants you to believe. Whatever ‘new plays’ David spoke of in practice which caused the 3 ints obviously weren’t that big of a deal to Luke. I believe Luke came in right after Dave and handled the team like a man. He executed his plays with ease and finally made it painfully obvious to the team that they weren’t going to go anywhere with Garrards less than inspiring play. He simply was too comfortable and didn’t put it in overdrive because he truly believed he was the starter no matter how he played or practiced. It’s just preseason right? Wrong. The players were the last straw Jack was speaking of. He listened to his own, gene, and dirks convictions at first, but after seeing the players respond to Luke overwhelmingly..he concurred. Kudos to the locker room for wanting to win.

this whole perception that the Jags are done this season because we cut Garrard is absurd. Im curious how the national media reacted in regards to the Jags season when Del Rio cut Leftwich and went with Garrard… anyone know?

Anyways, not trying to be a downer but the Jags still have their work cut out for them this coming Sunday. My two cents comes from living in Seattle since 2006 and having the chance to watch Hasselbeck run an offense. The guy is still good. Sundays game is going to come down to how much pressure/time we can disrupt for Hasselbeck. If their is one thing that the old vet can do – it is shred an offense if he is given time. He doesnt have the biggest arm but the guy can get the ball where it needs to be. And noone really knows what we have in our secondary..

I read a lot of comments that the Jags front seven are gonna load up on the Titans and Johnson – thats all well and good and I firmly beleive we can win that battle up front. I beleive their was an article on this site saying that Johnson isnt expected to get too many carries… thats definitly a plus. I just hope, even if we dont record sacks, that we can make Hasselbeck uncomfortable and make his welcome to the AFC South very unpleaseant.

GO JAGS!

While I am not completely convinced our team will be fine this season, I will say this, Luke looked much better then Garrard, in preseason, and the Media? to heck with em, remember these are the same people that never gives the jags any credit for anything, I mean look at our history, they always pick the “other” team in the playoffs, when we made them, some even going so far to say “jacksonville, isnt that a USFL team”? and against pittsburgh? we were expected to be blown out. They consistantly rag on us for ticket sales, even though we are comparable to the steelers(last year) and we hardly ever get any calls at all(did you watch the giants game last year?) THEY HATE US, AND I HATE THEM-FIRE GOODELL

We can go 3-13 or 4-12, get a good pick in the draft, hopefully a nice target for BG to throw too and develope with, or we can go 8-8 or 9-7 and shut the mouth of every fuckin doubter out there…AGAIN! JAGS!!!!!
