Los Angeles Jaguars?





Maybe I'm alone in this, but this weekend captivated me in regard to the NFL. Dallas puts a second smackdown on the overrated Eagles. A team that only beat one team with a winning record (Falcons without Ryan). Romo's monkey is off his back... for now at least. Also, Kurt Warner put on a clinic at the QB position. He had more touchdowns than incomplete passes and near perfect QB rating and he still almost lost. Green Bay have themselves a franchise QB that is young and great. Of all the teams left in the NFC, there are a list of superstar QB's left:

Romo
Warner
Brees
Farve

If that list bad asses can't sell TV ads, nothing can. Speaking of selling things...Jacksonville can't. They can't sell tickets because it's simply not an NFL town. They also have a horrendous product on the field. The front office have consistently taken the draft picks, covered their eyes with blindfolds, and picked wildly. They have a huge stadium they can't fill despite covering seats, except for the last Saturday in October, then it's standing room only with all seats open(GA/FL NCAA). It has been known by everyone with a clue that Jax cannot keep that team. Los Angeles is building a huge stadium, and with absolute certainty, will steal this team away from the apathetic Jaguar fans. It's so sad, most fans people of Jacksonville won't even realize. This is where the story gets ironic though. Since the resignation of Pete Carroll, there seems to be an open position in Southern California. Since Jack Del Rio probably won't keep his job and even if he does, he will almost certainly jump at the chance to coach his Alma mater in his home state. After all, I'd rather be homeless in Southern California than be the head coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars. USC has fielded at least two teams in the last decade that had more talent than the teams the JAGS front office has drafted. Del Rio would be a fool to pass this up and trust me, he won't.
