Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey appears to be running out of patience with those who are doubting the team during a trying season.

Amid Jacksonville's disappointing 3-6 start, Ramsey sent out a cryptic tweet Nov. 12, saying "when I'm gone from here, y'all gone miss me." The Jaguars star clarified Thursday that it was meant for "fake fans" who've left the team.

"If that's what people want to do or if that's how people feel, then it's certain people, like y'all going to miss ... we bring some good things," Ramsey said, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. "And, yeah, we slipped up here recently. Not executed and played like we know we can. But, like whoever, the fake fans, if y'all (the media), whoever, if y'all want to jump ship, then, look, it is what it is.

"But y'all going to miss us when we either gone or when stuff back popping. We don't want y'all no more."

After appearing in the AFC Championship Game last year, the Jaguars are currently last in the AFC South.

It's also been a difficult season for Ramsey, who's dropped off from his All-Pro form after establishing himself both as the NFL's premier cornerback and premier trash talker last year. With the season rapidly nearing its home stretch, it's on Ramsey and his Jaguars teammates to weather their fans' expectations as they gear up for one final push toward the playoffs.
