L.I.MikeBleedsGreen Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Del Rio wants to move away from jimmy and wants to use the young Wr's that can't catch a ball even if it had Krazy Glue on it, Instead of throwing to a sure thing in jimmy IMO. I live in FLA So I see alot of there Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 People wrote him off like 5-6 years ago saying that he couldn't continue to be a good player. Every year since then he has been solid and a #1 receiver for the Jaguars and really a player they could rely on. I've always liked the guy and this does come as a bit of a surprise.

Nick Ferraro Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The Jags made one of the biggest draft mistakes in not grabbing a WR. Even if Smith came back, this was likely his last year. Their offense will again keep them from truly contending in the AFC. There is almost no big-play ability on this team now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
