I dont care what QB we are talking about, even Manning would have been better with a year on the bench.

Love the response. And I agree about Jack and Smith and Weaver, and the Garrard thing in relation to Smith's attitude toward replacing him. Very well done! I do love Jack Del Rio, so if he stays I am more than fine with it! He's the reason I became a fan of the Jags. That said, I do think that if he is not able to succeed even this year that it may be time to get another defensive man on the sidelines. And the prospect of Leslie Frazier has my mouth watering. But I am merely speculating because it's the start of the season and it's the time to do it. Once again, loved the response! Very well done! And I agree, go Jags! Very good points! Love the response.

I honestly believe he will be around for at least another two or three more years and he deserves it. With GM Gene Smith taking over the personnel decisions, it appears that Jack has a renewed involvement in the direction of the team. Vic stated a while ago that Del Rio has a bit of scout in him and I agreed with that, as I believed it before he said it. It was known that Jack disagreed, at times, with the draft choices 'Shack' Harris used to make. Most notably, picking FS Reggie Nelson over QB Brady Quinn in the 2006 Draft. Although Quinn didn't pan out, it does highlight that there was, at times, a fundamental difference in the way the two viewed the game. But I believe there is a much better camaradie between Del Rio and Smith, which I believe, is what is going to secure Jack's place as the Jags Head Coach for the next few years. Also, the person that would make that decision, Owner Wayne Weaver, seems to be 100% on board with the way the team is headed too. Aaron Kampman's decision to join the Jags is a true testament of this. When asked both times, "why the Jags?", he intently expressed that it was the similarities of values between Owner Wayne, GM Gene and HC Del Rio that persuaded his decision. Replacing Del Rio in that link, while not impossible, could potentially derail the progress that the team is about to make. Looking at the way Gene has been drafting, acquiring free agents and making personnel moves; it appears that Gene is building the team that Del Rio has wanted this entire time. This team is being built to run the ball and stop and the run, period. With better personnel decisions being made, Jack will get a chance to show his true mettle as a Head Coach. Considering he made the most of what he had before Gene's promotion, I believe, he will be successful and has the chance to have Jeff Fisher longevity with the Jags. As far as Garrard goes, it's possible the scenario you described of David grooming his successor could happen. But viewing Gene's personnel decision making process makes me believe if he finds the QB he wants next draft, he will get whatever value he can for Garrard and input the new QB as starter by default. Honestly, it's much harder for me to gauge Garrard's future with the Jags than Del Rio's. To me, there are too many little variables to mention that could take place that is going to ultimately decide David's fate. I'd rather let that play out than speculate on it. Either way, GO JAGS!!!
