They don't even need to get someone at that level. Give me a top 10 QB. Look at Blake Bortles already. What a massive jump up in his 2nd season. And he's on freaking Jacksonville. That team has been an absolute dog show for most of my life.

Get StartedBeating up on weak teams to inflate stats... Man that sounds like someone around this area, just can't quite put my finger on it.
Theres instances where NE and GB have a shit ton of starting oline injuries....and their qbs still play well. Were playing this shitty with a completely 100% healthy oline lmao. So either Stafford sucks real bad. Or our starters are worse than most teams back ups.

Jacksonville is absolutely loaded on the offensive side of the ball though. Robinson, Hurns, Thomas, Yeldon and D. Robinson.......you kidding me?
Rodgers has struggled big time with his OLine decimated this year. Try again, man...

Robinson is the only special talent in that group. Hurns is a good #2. Yeldon is nothing special...decent back. Don't get me wrong...I like the group because of the age and it is well balanced but I wouldn't call them "loaded"
I will give Jax TONS of credit for how they got the 2 WRs.
Robinson late 2nd round pick in 2014 (Lions took Ebron and Van Noy ahead of him)
Hurns undrafted FA in 2014.
Jacksonville, who was DEAD FREAKING LAST in PPG last year, suddenly has an explosive offense, and you are trumpeting their weapons? I love how you include Hurns (undrafted), Robinson (4th rounder) in that list of mammoth weapons. Denard has done basically nothing in three years other than a decent year. Hurns was a great find by that organization and the QB play is making him darn good this year.
And here's the great irony in your statement. You include TJ Yeldon in that list. You, the person who gives players like Ebron a free pass for sucking the first year, but he's a weapon for them. Pick a side of the argument.
No, that QB makes a lot of those guys look better.
Actually, Russell Wilson... wait for it... wins. And he doesn't have jack shit on that team besides a broken down Lynch and a decent Rawls.. His offensive line is probably just as awful as Detroit's. You remember that game against the Lions? Dude wish he had Stafford's line that game.

Then you don't watch football then. That team is loaded. They have monsters at tbe WR position and Yeldon is a great back. Its just that their defense is garbage so they tend to keep away from the running game. Yeldon will be special in that offense soon enough. Then they added a top flight TE in Thomas. Offense is stacked....
Yeldon has the 12th most rushing attempts in the NFL this year. He is 27th in YPA and only has 4 20+ yard runs and only 2 TDs. Your definition of great is much different than mine.
Great might be exaggerated but the kid is solid.
Lol. Love that you got called out for calling Yeldon great, and then you backed down. It's okay for rookie RBs to be great, but heaven forbid that a hybrid TE/WR is crap year 1 and we call him out for it. What exactly does Ebron need to learn, other than running routes and catching the ball? Stop making it so fucking complicated. He doesn't have to learn blocking assignments, because as you have so eloquently stated on here, they didn't draft him to block.
Actually, he really didn't struggle all. He had above a 90 QBR in each of the first 7 games in the season. I know, his struggles are actually better than our guy's struggles. It's crazy how that works. But he's a winner. Our guy is a loser. Keep drinking that blue aid.
I agree. I also thing Hurns is solid. I think Robinson will be an elite WR. All that said...I would trade Jax "skill players" for the Lions right now!
Stafford, Abdulah, CJ, Tate, & Ebron for Bortles, Robinson, Hurns, Yeldon & Thomas.
Right now CJ and Tate are probably a little better than Robinson & Hurns but that group that Jax has is good because of age AND salary.
Lol Rodgers has struggled this year? That's news to me. 97 passer rating, 28 td/5 int. Man, what a bum.
