Shout it LOUDLY, Jags still don't have a QB (or an O-line) and we also beat the Pats pre-season. I'm expecting another poor season where our defence keeps us competitive and our offence is woeful, even with Fournette.

With this in consideration, I'm looking forward to re-establishing our friendly AFC South hostilities soon enough, DFP!
The city of Houston might well run out of cotton wool wrapping up Watt and Clowney on a weekly basis.
But those 2 and Mercilus should make it interesting times for QBs.
In the words of NFL's Dave Dameshek..."Let it begin!"
So the LA Charges will play two seasons at the 30k capacity Stub Hub Centre( the soccer stadium used by Galaxy) This makes no sense to me, what were the average crowds at the Qualcomm?

They have Bortles? Could be worse, could have Josh McCown (jets) as your starting QB
Averages:
2016 - 57k
2015 - 66k
2014 - 64k
2013 - 64k

You'd be hard pressed to find a Jags fan that wouldn't take McCown. Bortles genuinely can't throw a proper spiral. He's thrown more pick 6's (11) than he's had career wins (10) in 3 yearsThey have Bortles? Could be worse, could have Josh McCown (jets) as your starting QB

I still don't see how Kaepernick is a free agent. Most teams put off for fear of backlash from fans over his political views?
There's at least 10 teams he would make starter over the current QBs there.

Big Bucs fan since the late 80s as a little kid. Been mostly down since winning the super bowl while I was in Uni, but we are again looking like building something. It's happened before and never actually come together but some good pieces and finally have a QB.
I'm a bigger Clemson fan though so whilst the Bucs went down on Sundays, they have gone from strength to strength Saturdays and there are lots of players I look out for in the NFL now not least at the Texans.
Here in Asia the games are during the night so it's even harder than when was living in UK, but it does promote early alarms and less beer!

Teams?
Without a doubt Colts, Ravens and Jags.
Following that Jets, Texans, Bears, 49ers and Browns.
Okay so maybe exaggerated with 10 teams but there's 8 where I feel he is better than the current starting QB. Could possibly even go with Broncos.
Kap over Andrew Luck?? i know luck is carrying an injury but Kap wouldn't start there. I do agree though that he should have a job and would be arguably one of the best backups in the league.

I should of clarified Kap because Luck is injured with an unknown return date.

I don't agree because CK7 would probably want a fair chunk of money and he will also likely want to start IMO, the Texans, Browns, and Bears all have high drafted rookies they plan to be their guys for the foreseeable so they are immediately ruled out. Jets have a safe choice in McCown to carry them through, more reliable than CK7 and probably cheaper. Ravens and Colts won't waste their time and money with Flacco and Luck still being their guys for the foreseeable. The Jags are sticking to the BB experiment win or lose, that isn't on CK7 or any other QB imo, that's just the Jags being the Jags. So really that only leaves the 9ers and he has played for them already, maybe they don't want him back for a plethora of reasons?
Got to also remember that out of the few that he would stand a chance of being starting QB, the coaches may find him unsuitable for their system. I think people are jumping to the politics conclusion too easily. Imo.

I thought backup at the Ravens made the most sense with the Harbourough connections, but that seemed to fall through.

You don't help yourselves though - drafting Mixon for instance.....

I prefer the American way of doing things to football though, where by and large the richest teams win. I think its great the way the sport is set up so everyone should be competitive but even within those constraints you can see the difference in long term performance levels between well run and badly run franchises.
Also, by and large the Americans I know identify more with their Saturday team than their Sunday team. As there's only 32 professional teams in such a vast country many of them don't live close enough to a professional team to go regularly anyway. The NFL is more about the TV and putting the best possible product out there, which I think they do a fantastic job of.
Having said that, if 'my' team moved I'd be gutted, of course.

I think it is as much to do with him wanting starters money than it is about the protests to be totally fair.
When do the Raiders move to Sin City?

Cheering on the Colts as usual. QB a real worry
