The Jaguars have the right idea. They’ve prioritized a path to success that even their harshest critics can’t second-guess.
Dungy saw that first-hand during his seven seasons at the helm of the Indianapolis Colts, where he inherited eventual five-time league MVP and No. 1 overall draft pick Peyton Manning just as his career began taking off.
The Colts went to the playoffs nine consecutive years during that span, tying the Dallas Cowboys’ all-time NFL record streak until the New England Patriots eclipsed it with an 11-year run . Even before NFL offenses began exploding the past two decades, teams who found the right quarterback and had an elite pass-rush were perennial contenders.
The Los Angeles Rams felt they needed a quarterback upgrade from Jared Goff and signed Matthew Stafford, then traded for Miller, an acquisition that produced immediate results when the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals to win their first Super Bowl in 22 years. In NFL history, only the Cleveland Browns previously had the distinction of using back-to-back No. 1 picks on a quarterback and pass-rusher. They selected QB Tim Couch and Courtney Brown , but those picks failed miserably.
Cleveland took Couch over No. 2 pick Donovan McNabb, who went on to six Pro Bowl berths with the Philadelphia Eagles. In the 2000 draft, the Browns passed on first-rounder John Abraham, who had 133.5 sacks in his career with the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals, becoming All-Pro in his second year.
