Boselli is a HOF, and Fred and Jimmy are at worst HOF worthy players.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I think 2025 could be the most well-rounded. 2017 was stacked on defense, but left a lot to be desired on the other side of the ball. The 2025 team to me epitomizes whole being better than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>JaxCommenterGuy<\/p>\n<p>2017 was the absolute closest we have ever come to the Super Bowl, and we probably would have matched up well against the Eagles. It took a combined effort of the refs and Nathaniel Hackett to keep us out, and we were still less than two minutes away.<\/p>\n<p>1999 did awesome, but I don\u2019t know if they were going to beat the offense of the Rams in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>2025 was a flawed team, who overperformed, who potentially could beat any team (except maybe the Seahawks) and could also be beaten by any team. A few (unfortunately critical and expensive) gaps on the roster though, and they could be amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>1996 was cool, but probably closer to 2022 than to the others.<\/p>\n<p>DillonAppleman<\/p>\n<p>It feels kind of dirty to use this at the rational but I would lean more towards \u201999 and \u201917 being better teams due to the star power on both. Each had bigger names and those players provided mismatches that you could count on week in and week out. This 2025 team was really good but you never really knew who would make a big impact in any given game. I think that hurts their argument as the best ever when making this comparison. <\/p>\n<p>Travis D Holmes<\/p>\n<p>1999 and 2017 are both insanely hard to beat. A Myles Jack wasn\u2019t down robbery from the SuperBowl and the Tennessee Titans giving Jacksonville tbeir only three loses in 99, with the later rumor of them having a copy of the Jaguars\u2019 playbook during the season. The dominance on defense for 2017 and the overall dominance over all teams, sans the Titans in 1999 must give those teams the edge, IMO. And then, to add what they did to Dan Mario \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>For me it\u2019s (in order):<\/p>\n<p>mnkman322<\/p>\n<p>I think the only reason you can put 2025 over 2017 is because you were marginally better at QB, and if that is your reasoning then I think 2022 should be in consideration as Trevor had a better year AND we got further into the playoffs with Pederson than we did with Coen.<\/p>\n<p>1999<\/p>\n<p>2017<\/p>\n<p>2007<\/p>\n<p>2022<\/p>\n<p>2025<\/p>\n<p>1996<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans if the 2025 team was the best in franchise history.
