Gerhart's arrival automatically makes the Jags a team to root for. They've gone on record many times already saying he will be a true bell cow.
When's the last time a white RB was brought in through Free Agency to be THE guy? John Riggins? For that matter, even Alstott was drafted to split carries. And we all know the recent history of White RBs being drafted by teams stacked at the position. Gerhart himself is an example. This is a truly unique and almost unbelievable situation, keep your fingers crossed.
Besides Gerhart the team is ho-hum, no NE, far from SEA. A ground and pound approach with solid D could take them far though, HOU is shaky at QB and OL and I expect IND to regress behind an all black OL and mostly coal D.
QB Henne will probably play game manager, Bortles could start.
RB Gerhart is the only viable RB on the roster, Todman is one of the least inspiring runners in the NFL and Robinson is a converted QB hybrid role type player. Almost no depth here, hoping Beau Blankenship can grab a spot, a good team for his chances as there is literally no talent to speak of outside Gerhart.
FB Ewing was brought in to replace Ta ufa u who was a terrible lead blocker for a terrible running attack. Read online he's sure to be replaced.
WR All black. Could be some young talent to get defenders out of the box, but mostly looks like "upside" to me.
TE Mercedes Lewis has the job, Brandon Barden will fight for a spot with a sea of blacks.
OL All white starters! Cameron Bradford probably only black backup, RT. Should be nice to see Gerhart running behind an all white OL, but Beadles is the only proven run blocker.
Offense 8/11 Really good, but no pass catchers.
DL I count Babin. Besides him no one, some talent here though.
LB Under appreciated Posluszny could have a great year in a close games, run-and-stop-the-run setting that seems to highlight other great MLBs.He's a top 10 MLB/ILB in my book. Stupar should play WSTD.
DB When is Prosinski going to start? Atrocious DB play has been mentioned many times on the forum, Jacksonville is no exception. He should win one of the safety spots, it's about time.
Defense 3?/11 Sadly 1-2 white defenders is average in the NFL so they look good. No depth though.
All in all, really looking forward to the Jags. If they run the ball with Gerhart behind Ewing and their all white OL and get solid QB play then they could be good. Key here is that the most important players are all white. I see Gerhart/Posluszny as Offensive/Defensive MVP candidates.
