Watch this everyday. Especially come the trade deadline and free agency time of year.

this appears to be a thing for 1st time young HCs. Going all-in at all costs to win right now at the expense of the future. It might be exciting for fans…but the piper is going to come to collect soon!

They have a much greater chance at actually achieving their goals today than they did three days ago. There’s no arguing that. They went quality over quantity and it may work. We have chosen quantity over quality for several seasons, and it hasn’t worked. Let’s see where the two teams end up this season. I feel like the Jags star players are much younger than the Lions but I could be wrong. I admittedly don’t pay a ton of attention to AFC South teams. This is definitely much more the approach I would like my team to take. I want that September 2024 moxie back. But it remains to be seen as to which method truly works better. An argument could be made for big splashy type moves being made by the recent Super Bowl winners. The trade deadline of the Super Bowl winning season may not have necessarily been a contributing factor, but the aggressiveness in the pro scouting department has definitely helped for the majority of eventual winners if that makes sense.

I gave that same speech to my fantasy team after last nights waiver pickup … can never have too many back-up TE’s

Good for the Jags and their fans, I’d like to see them in the SB, better yet, I’d like us to be facing them in the game.
But, their window was just shortened by a good bit. Yes they are taking a win now approach, hope it works out, I do have my doubts. Going into 2027 they are already $20M over the cap.

Who’d you get? I’m 8-1. I cannot believe it lol. Season 32.
Yikes. That’s pretty easy to correct, but definitely not a very good starting point for them.

A bare cupboard of draft picks and being over the salary cap at the same time is not a good recipe.

Jags traded away a 1st, two 2nds, a 5th and 6th yesterday.
The 6th for Godchaux is in 2028, but becomes a 2027 6th if the Jags acquire one.

I can’t stand our own fanbase.
I guess if they don’t win the SB + GM of the year every year it’s not good enough?
I despise our own fanbase. I despise Mike Valenti for being the head of this illiterate snake.
*Edit - This is aimed at the more negative/reactionary portion of our fanbase that appears to be entirely devoid of any critical thinking skills. Not the portion who’s heads aren’t up their asses.

Valenti’s station is now available on Siriusxm as they recently added local sportstalk from all over the country.
I listened to one full day and really didn’t care for any of the shows. I went back to the national sports options on Sirius.
That’s not really a fair statement.
Let’s go back 4 draft classes since they are 4 year contracts….
Hooker
Bro Martin
Sorsdal
Green
Manu
Vaki
Mahogany
Wingo
Teslaa
Frazier
Hassanein
Dan Jackson
Lovett
Rolder
Abney
Law
SGH
T West
11 of the 19 played zero meaningful snaps… that’s generously giving credit to the likes of Wingo “Rolder….
Out of all that capital and all those darts… I don’t see a K Turner, B Young, Puka, K Williams in 4 years. Not one
SGH is having Rodrigo type rookie year. Will he he become a Milt Williams type DT3 like Philly had that gets 4-6 sacks in 400 snaps each of the next 3 years? Will mahogany be our starting LG the rest of this year and next? Is Vaki truly the RB2 we want the next 2-3 years?
If Teslaa was on the 21’ and 22’ Lions he likely gets 700-900 yards… we don’t have the snaps unless he’s a star. We need a CB1 a FS, a DE and a LG along with a WLB right now We also need all of those things next year
I am not following how this response to what i said even came to be my friend

I think it also speaks to power dynamics. If a HC dominated the building then you get the Veruca Salt approach. Fortunately Dan, despite being one of the league’s best coaches, enjoys the process of working together and sharing in the journey. Therefore he will defer to Brad more than most star coaches would. We are so blessed.

Agreed.
We could also have the opposite, like currently in Green Bay, where the GM doesn’t listen to the HC about needs in free agency or the draft. That (and a few injuries, for sure, but every team has those) is how you get the horrid O-line the Packers currently have.

I’m sorry, what starters on the Jaguars are better than the starters on the Lions? A couple DBs? Maybe? Lions don’t need to trade picks to aquire talent, they draft and develop it.
