Does Jacksonville gaffe push Jags to Los Angeles?

TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars
Let's play a game. Let's pretend that you are Shahid Khan. Seven months ago, you spent $760M to purchase the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars. The NFL team that plays in the league's 3rd smallest market. The team that has had so many issues avoiding blacked out home games that former players and Jacksonville mayor Alvin Brown, himself, have been involved in door-to-door grassroots campaigns begging people to attend the games. The Jaguars. You are the least valuable NFL team according to Forbes, and even though you received a revenue boost thanks to a new NFL-ESPN television contract last year, you also had to convince the City of Jacksonville to not take a 25% cut on your stadium naming rights deal with EverBank because, well, you're trying to run a successful business (* technically, this happened before Khan became the owner, but you get the point). Since you've began your tenure as owner you've been doing things like: involving yourself in local phi...

Recap of yesterday's lease scare with the Jaguars

Via This Given Sunday  |  May 31, 2012
Yesterday, the media became aware that the City of Jacksonville had notified the Jaguars that they were in default of their lease, and the termination process had been put in motion. To say the least, that's a dire piece of news for a team that is expected to move by many in the media, and a short-lived firestorm began. The reason the news was so huge is very simple. The Jaguars...

First shots fired in Jaguars’ inevitable exit from Jacksonville

HELLO LOS ANGELES!!!  ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL??? * Crickets * Oh right, nobody in LA cares about professional football.  Doesn’t matter.  If the NFL doesn’t expedite this whole “putting football back in LA” thing, the Jaguars might just have to take matters into their own hands and move from one pro football apathetic [...]

Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon 'Lost' At Times During OTAs

Via GridironFans.com  |  May 30, 2012
Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Justin Blackmon -- perhaps as much as any rookie in this year's class outside of a handful of quarterbacks -- is being asked to step in and solve problems for his new team right away. At very least, the expectation is that Blackmon gives quarterback Blaine Gabbert a legitimate weapon to throw to starting Week 1. History tells us that receivers, however...

Jaguars' worst case scenario in 2012

Via The Jaggernaut  |  May 31, 2012
Yesterday, I said that the Jaguars could have a very, very good year. I went out on a limb, saying they could wind up as good as 13-3, which is likely good enough for the top seed in the AFC, and at the very lest the second seed. Now it's time to look at the bleak side of this equation. We really don't know what to expect from the Jaguars in 2012. All indications from...

Jags’ new practice facility is food court-y

Via Kissing Suzy Kolber  |  May 30, 2012
With Tropical Storm Beryl making everything in Jacksonville all wet and mushy, the Jaguars were forced to conduct some indoor practices. Being the Jaguars, they don’t have a fancy indoor practice facility (or poles to hold up the tarps they use to cover their upper deck seats, or even a gym membership), so they packed up their **** and practiced on the club level at GenericBank...

Jaguars' best case scenario in 2012

Via The Jaggernaut  |  May 30, 2012
There's been a handful of the always fun "best and worst case scenarios" floating around the NFL in recent weeks. I thought I'd take a stab at giving my opinion of the Jaguars best and worst case scenarios. I'm breaking this into two posts just because there's the potential for me getting long-winded in explaining myself, and I don't particularly like...

Jacksonville Jaguars: Maurice Jones-Drew Wants To Get Paid

Via Football Nation  |  May 30, 2012
It may surprise some NFL fans to find out that Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew led the league in rushing in 2011 with 1,606 yards along with a league leading 343 carries. He also remained productive as a pas receiver with 43 receptions for 373 yards, and scored 11 total touchdowns (eight rushing). He clearly was the centerpiece of a Jacksonville offense that...

Jaguars Think RB Maurice Jones-Drew Has Lost A Step

When he signed that deal, he had one year left on his rookie deal and that contract made him one of the top-three paid backs in the league. Jones-Drew hasn't participated in voluntary OTA's since his rookie year, according...

The Jaguars are optimistic -- and they should be

Via Bloguin Best  |  May 30, 2012
I wrote yesterday about the optimism that's running rampant through the NFL at this time of the year, especially inside the Dolphins' organization. Landing HBO's Hard Knocks series should provide the team with considerable exposure as they try to prove their critics wrong. For the first time in a long time, the Dolphins are showing genuine signs of optimism. There'...
