when you ditch good players (stroud) and draft idiots high (jones) it can affect your team a bit especially if you're not pulling in a lot of outside FAs.

they also lost tom coughlin, who seems to have moved on quite well.

I mean under Del Rio they seemed headed in a good direction. Then they just fell flat on their faces. It's like whoever was in charge of personell got canned and whoever took over sucked.

Garrard had a really, really good year in 2007, which we all knew wasn't going to repeat itself thanks to his career to that point. So that was a major source of decline, and then their OL just got really injured, and there's nothing they can do about that.

Honestly, their offense needs a part or two, and they can get the WRs in FA. The pieces of what they started back in 2007 are all still there. What's more trobling with the Jags is the defensive decline. Getting what you could for Stroud while he was at his peak seemed like a nice little move at the time, but their LBs collectively had a really bad year, and that secondary is pretty trashy.

None of this is unlike the 2006 Redskins, actually.
