Who would you rather have?

I just watched the Seahawks, in a much-anticipated-NFC-championship-game-matchup, demolish the Saints, 34-7.

Mr. Peabody and I jumped into the Wayback Machine and returned to a time in the distant past where the Seahawks obliterated the worst team in NFL history by the never-before-heard-of-margin of 45-17.

Remember that paleontological era?

The late heavy bombardment.

Each disaster making the last disaster look like a party at a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home on Mulholland Drive overlooking the lights of Los Angeles.

Each side of the ball plummeting to bottom of the league in an effort to prevent the other side from sitting in cellar alone.

Then came The Bye.

The standard candle against which we will measure this franchise.

Who would you rather have than Shad, Dave and Gus?

Nobody.

Who do you want as the number one pick in the draft?

Nobody.

Not gonna be our choice anyway. Just looking for the best player. That conversation is over.

The Jaguars are the team we’ve seen since Nov 10.

Scored 101. Surrendered 75.

Won 3. Lost 1.

Where are the Jags the strongest? Where are they set for the future? Defensive backfield?

Watch that. That will set the tone. The competition there will be the stick against which this team’s progress will be measured. It’s young and it’s growing and that is where the competition will be stiffest.

Who would you rather have than Shad, Dave and Gus?
