GOODBYE JIMMY SMITH
It was bound to happen and I can’t say that it was totally unexpected, but it was somewhat surprising last night to see that WR Jimmy Smith has decided to call it quits.
“A five-time Pro Bowl selection, he played in a team record 178 games and started 150 games since joining the Jaguars as a free agent in 1995. He ranks seventh on the all-time receiving list with 862 catches, and has 12,287 yards and 67 touchdowns. He is the only player to start all nine Jaguars playoff games.” (LINK)
Jimmy was the last remaining Jaguar from the original lineup in 95. His departure brings an end to an era, but opens up the door for new talent.
Questions arose during the press conference concerning his past problems with drugs. Namely, “Could this have anything to do with his departure?” Jimmy maintains that it doesn’t, he merely says that he’s “tired.”
Whether drugs played a role in Smith’s decision to leave the Jag’s or not, he will definitely be missed by the fans and by his teammates.

Smith is one of the good ones. A great receiver and unlike most of them not a loudmouthed prima donna.
Hear, hear on GuyK.
Also, that neon team logo looks great.
Yes indeed..
GuyK is pretty straigtforward and right on target.
Btw, Blogdog. The logo came from some Jaguar site, I just can't remember which one.
