the real question is with the niners now that they publicly shunned smith
- 2Real


I don't think the 49ers are too concerned. Alex Smith isn't anything special imo and they can always trade to get another QB or sign a veteran.

Dont disagree. But Jacksonville's talent level isn't what the Broncos have. MJD is the Jaguars. They have absolutely nothing else. Their a terrible football team.

Tebow was protected by Denver's defense... none of which jacksonville has

He's a gimmick that played well as a rookie. The way I see it, defenses don't normally gameplan for that type of a QB. If he plays that well as a 2nd year QB, I'll be impressed.

No question about it. Their personnel is among the worst in the NFL. If I was the Jags owner, and the 2 options were suck in an empty building, or suck in a full stadium and create some buzz, it's a no brainer.

He has no choice but to try and add Tebow. Then they need to figure out a way to get some talented players through draft.

Free agents no one at this point.

But they can make a trade before or during the draft. IF you offer the right package you can get an upgrade over Smith.

The draft is the way to build in every sport. Especially sports with a salary cap. You have to have cost controlled young players making an impact, or it makes it near impossible to win.

I honestly thought their coach that currently got fire (Jack Del Rio) was horrible. The offense they ran looked like something that is done in high school. They had zero imagination and never were creative in their play calling. The drafts they had were terrible as well. I think they hit on MJD and thats about it.

#Flyers INJURY UPDATE: Andrej Meszaros will undergo surgery to remove a small disc fragment in his lower back on Wed., Mar. 21

Never doubt Eskin on injury news. It's like doubting Jesus as he's walking across a lake

- Jsaquella



There were rumors last Friday that Flyers would make an announcement of this nature on Monday. But no one would confirm it over the weekend til Eskin ran with it.

It'd be nice. As long as they don't both get a point, I can live with it.

And the Leafs-Bruins laugher is over. Bruins scored 8, Leafs had 13 SOG

MJD is a small guy, when you use him like Jacksonville does, he's going to be ran into the ground. Del Rio had some decent years in Jax, their personnel is so bad it wouldn't matter who the coach is. They have zero weapons at WR, and TE. Couple that with a rookie QB, and a defense that is on the field the entire game it's a recipe for disaster.

I hate Florida as a state. And not just for their professional sports, I just hate visiting there. Miami and jacksonville should merge cause their both horrendous and no one wants to go play for them. I dont know who justifies throwing all these pro sports franchises their way when none of them get support.

I don't. I find it quite amusing. The NHL is a better League when they are good, but this is now 8 straight years without making the playoffs. For a franchise with their resources that is criminal. Fans should seriously make a statement there and stop going to the games.
