"Believe this: The Jaguars should be in better position than anybody in their division to dethrone the Indianapolis Colts. I'm not saying it'll happen, but the way general manager Gene Smith tweaked this roster in the offseason, the Jaguars' reconstruction is such that long-term success can be visualized. It's just a question of whether now or 2012 is the time for Jacksonville to ascend." The Times-Union

Dwight Lowry gives the Jags a free safety until Chris Prosinski is 100% and a guy who can play corner. Gene knows where to find value.

The last word
"The Jacksonville community, all of the fans, you've shown me so much support throughout. You've been there with me through thick and thin, through my injuries, just all the good times. Whatever bad times there were, you were there and you were supporting me. I just want to thank you for being fans and gracing me as one of your own, and as long as I'm alive I'll do whatever I have in my body to try and help this community continue to grow. I've seen a lot and this community is continuing to grow and trust me, one day, one day this team will have its opportunity to have its time and we will be able to rejoice and celebrate like we should. All of the sponsors that have helped the team that have supported the team over the years, continue to support because this team is working on something special and I know it's going to happen."
