Our single most egregious sub is Gary Brackett.  It is galling, two weeks after Brackett and the Colts embarassed Ray Lewis and the Ravens on national TV, that Lewis is picked over Brackett.  So are we to assume that as long as Lewis plays, he gets picked?  Another Raven, Jonathan Ogden, is evidently favored by this sort of grandfathering as well.

I'm not sure that's worse, though, than a 10-4 team, probably the hottest team in the conference right now, with ZERO selections.  The two that most stand out are Taylor and Garrard.  Taylor's recent words to the effect that he's a Pro-Bowl-caliber player is not bragging--it's a statement of fact.  Garrard's breakout year is just as compelling--it's still amazing that until Anthony Smith lucked into one, only Antoine Bethea had picked him all year.  

Anyone who disagrees about Taylor is advised to review the Jags-Steelers game, in which he was a man among boys.  Willie Parker?  Where was he?  The Jaguars dominated the Steelers, in large part because of Taylor.  The reverse certainly wasn't true about Parker.  Big Ben is a good QB, certainly, but the Jags wouldn't be where they now are (and, for those who missed it, where they are is the playoff opponent NO ONE wants to play)without Garrard.  The play to Northcutt was beautiful.

You guys have had a really good year.  Forget the rest of the AFC.  How about the Jags take care of the Pats and meet the Colts on January 20 to settle the most important issue:  the best team in the AFC South, which is to say, the best team in the NFL.  Though I remain confident the Colts can do it a third time this year, it would be a hell of a game.  
 

Of course, the Jags have to win one of the next two, beat either Cleveland or Pittsburgh, beat the Patriots, and then go to Indy.   So I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

Jags did get hosed though.  I think Taylor and Garrard deserved to go, Greg Jones is a good pick in  an admittedly thin fullback category.

Now, if Willie Parker has the offseason Knee "cleanup" surgery that he needs, Fred will go in his place.  

But yeah, I agree with you guys that Brackett should have gone instead of Ray Lewis.  Lewis gets the vote because people think of what people have done in the past (Tony Gonzalez, Champ Bailey) vs. what players have done this season.
