They HAVE to Tank Now

This is the worst franchise in the NFL and there is a 50% chance this group doesn’t win a game this season, even without selling. There is nothing to play for this year; zero benefit to winning games, and this group is not 2-3 players away from being a contender.

Every effort should be made to deal every player who holds value. Stockpile picks and try to legitimately rebuild this team.

Going forward, from this week on, it’ll be very interesting to see which path they choose. If they pack it in and do nothing, I’m not sure I can force myself to give a damn anymore.

In an interesting aside, I watched the game today with several former Jaguar players. Prominent former NFL players whom everyone here would recognize. Both guys told me they had chances to sign with Cincinnati and just wanted no part of the franchise. Had no desire to play for Brown.

As much as I think the right thing to do is to trade AJ, I can see why they may not want to. If he has 2-3 years left in him, it can help a new QB. However, I'd rather see that money spent toward an OT, but they probably won't due that after the Glenn fiasco.

They absolutely need to trade Eifert. He has a whopping 118 yards. On pace for less than 300 yards and 2-3 TDs in this offense. Trade him to SEA ideally for a 4th but would take a 5th.
