Wayne ... Does this have to happen before you see the light?
It's quite clear now that this organizations is really screwed up. they have put a lot of effort into selling tickets but they have no idea how to build a team. Putting together a team seems to be an after thought. Maybe this works in the shoe business but not in the NFL.
Not long ago we were told that they were going to build through the draft. HUH? Then they go out and get at least 5 free agents (this was the only thing good to happen lately). Although this move was good because the defense is playing good, I still don't like the fact they say one thing and do another.
Del Rio does the blame shifting thing when asked about the game time management.
There is an old saying " Coaches coach and Players play". Here in Jax we only have Players playing. If we really had some coaches / teachers / developers maybe a lot of those failed draft choices would still be playing. I thin this point is proven by the fact that all those defensive players came in as veterans and with out an ounce of training or instruction (because of the lock-out) they played great. This can not be contributed to coaching.
The really big screw-up of the century is not drafting Tebow. If WW is not kicking himself in the backside , even in private, then he really is out of touch. Everyone would agree that Tebow would sell tickets and bring much needed media attention to Jax. Now it also shows that he is doing pretty good as a second year QB. Ask yourself this question.....right now ...who would you buy a ticket to go and see: Tebow or Gabbert??? If the reasoning was that Tebow was too raw and gauged to not ready, then how is Gabbert comparing now?
The first order of business to fix this mess here is a complete house cleaning and for WW hand over football operations to someone who really knows football business and let him choose a GM and then the GM will choose a coach. It has been proven that there is no stock within the organization to promote.
When the going gets tough the tough get going....so Wayne fire Del Rio to start and shop for a director of football operations. The fans and the city will respect you and for once trust in your judgement.
