In a Tuesday interview with Adam Schein and John Riggins of Sirius NFL Radio, Jaguars running back Fred Taylor gave a candid assessment of the 2008 version of his long-time team.
“In my eleven years this is probably the worst team, emphasize the word ‘team,’ that I’ve been on,” Taylor said. “We have some outstanding players but the mix is bad. We can’t really find that chemistry that we need. Usually, I think, if you have that chemistry good things just tend to happen to you just because. But we don’t have that mix and it’s just tough right now.”
In reference to Sunday’s 30-12 loss to the Vikings, Taylor said that it “reminded me of the Bad News Bears.”
“Every phase is kind of not good right now,” Taylor said. ”Every single phase.”
Despite having high expectations at the outset of the season, the Jaguars are 4-7 and, for all practical purposes, out of the race for a postseason berth.

I’ve heard stories that their locker room is a mess right now with selfish players running around collecting big checks.
Jerry Porter, the King of overrated and cancerous players is one of those selfish players in that locker room that Taylor is talking about.

When are teams going to learn that big name free-agents typically ruin a team.
Look at the Cowboys this year. They’re basically an all-star team of players, but can’t function together. One goes down, the whole team goes down.

The Jaguars have two starting Guards on IR and a Tackle that was attacked and shot 14 times. I’d say THAT is the problem with Jacksonville, not “team chemistry” or whatever.

How come the media isn’t all over the Jags? They have more arrests in the last year than the Bengals. It isn’t surprising to me that they suck. Even the Fragile One got popped.

Jags are a joke. The city doesn’t deserve a pro football team. It’s a disaster that there is not a single pro football team in nation’s 2nd largest city and there is one in a crappy city like Jax.
They have had lowest attendance in the league for years and yet they continue to rip off a few fellow supporters.
I hope Mr.Weaver can find a way to get rid of this mess so that LA can get a franchise.

Punisher - The 2nd largest city in the country had TWO NFL teams and wasn’t able to fill the stands. Hell, San Diego is having trouble selling out this week. Jags have the 2nd smallest market in the league, hence the 2nd lowest attendance. Duh. Your argument sucks.

The jags suck this year but…….the guy that said they have sucked for years is retarded. In the past three years they have gone 12-4, 8-8 and 11-5 (resting their starters the last game of the season).
As for moving to L.A., according to NFL.com the Jaguars are 19th in average attendance in 2008, while being in the 2nd smallest market. Do that math on that before you start acting like L.A. is getting shafted. In case you forgot L.A. lost 2 teams in the mid 90’s. If it was so great there I can’t imagine why any team would leave for markets substantially smaller.
