These are not JAGS. These guys have nightly emissions DREAMING of one day becoming a JAG. These guys collectively forgot how to play football at even a high school level. They're terrible. They're not even CFL level.
Last year, we won a SB with a one legged Juju and this group, and had the #1 offense in just about any meaningful category, including 'explosive plays'. THAT was a bunch of JAGS.
That entire group (minus Long Juju Silver) regressed to a state of completely unplayable, clueless, three stooges level ineptitude.
Patience, I counseled. The whole group couldn't possibly regress like this. They'll snap out of it.
Apparently not.
Yeah, we need to clean house and get some actual professional receivers. We don't have to **** our cap to do it, and we don't have to trade multiple picks, and we don't have to go batshit crazy.
As it turns out, a Thielen type probably would have saved this season. (And I was an advocate of signing him or someone like him this past offseason.)
Rice is a bright spot in this shit sandwich. You need a speedy deep threat who can actually catch the ball, and you need a steady pro who knows where to be and when and then to actually catch the ball. Fill those two roles, and we're back in business.

I think the issue with the cap is what we do at LT. Not many options in FA and I doubt we swing for anything but a WR in R1. If we get Tyron Smith we could probably get a solid WR in FA but maybe only one.
Our OL is the emergent issue.
