Wayne and Delores Weaver To Be Added To Jaguars 'Pride Of The Jaguars', According To Source

by Alfie Crow on Jan 1, 2012 11:01 AM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars News

The Jacksonville Jaguars will honor owner Wayne Weaver and his wife Delores today by adding them to the Jaguars' Pride Of The Jaguars, according to a source. The final home game of the 2011-2012 season against the Indianapolis Colts will be the final Jaguars game with the Weavers as the owners. While the game is a dedicated "farewell" to the Weavers, this final gesture will be done to show how much they mean to the franchise. The Weavers will join first ever Jaguars draft pick and star left tackle Tony Boselli in the Pride Of The Jaguars on the west side of EverBank field.

The Weavers brought the NFL to Jacksonville and they no doubt deserve this honor and the honor of the final home game being dedicated to them. The Weavers have been an asset to the Jacksonville community and dedicated to keeping the NFL in Jacksonville. In their final game as the owners, the Weavers will be bestowed with the highest Jaguars honor.

This is great, but

who decides the members of the Pride of the Jaguars? Did they have to vote themselves in?

Im not sure you put the owner of the team in the Pride of the Jags

I mean … then where does the list stop? I thought that it was for players, and honestly I have been waiting for MANY retired jags to go up on the ring. Jimmy Smith deserves it before any one on the list (however due to his off the field habits I doubt he will ever get one), Freddy T obviously should have already been inducted (AND NEVER LET GO ILL ADD), Donavan Darius maybe, and a whole list of other great bad ass players that played when the Jags were in the hay-day… you know that time before Del Rio, Leftoversandwich, a whole messed up and incompetent front office… you know those times.

I just think its kind of lame the weavers are in there, don’t get me wrong they brought us football to the city… but if someone who scans tickets at the gate does an awesome job for 16+ years do they get inducted?

oh and #8 Mark!

how could i forget him? most won’t remember but he was a pretty awesome QB for us and won many of those games after the season, they are called playoffs. shoot he even won so many we were in the abc championship… MORE THAN ONCE! however… in the early 2000’s they organization (Mr. Weaver & the retarded front office) drafted BY-RON LEFTOUT and somehow Markhad an ‘elbow injury’ and he was getting “old”…. long story short, lefty was the worst choice and worst player to dawn a teal/white jersey and single handily put us in this position with his AWESOME playing skills…. and guess what, Mark has continued playing. I’m not sure but last I checked Lefty isn’t backing up big ben anymore….
