I just think it's funny because that's exactly what I've said every offseason since we drafted Gabbert.
I'm a glass half-full, even when it's bone-dry kinda guy.

I agree with you. I think that as the young players start to "get it" you'll see a marked improvement in the second half of the season. I think 6 to 8 wins with a flurry of say 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 7 coming in the second half is a possible scenario. Optimistically. But I don't think there has to be an exact number of wins to be a successful season (as long as there are more than 2 or 3 and they show they're turning the corner).
I just hope our schedule is easy in the beginning of the year, maybe get off to a 2-2 start for a change. That would just change the entire feel and outlook lf the season.

I have a feeling that other posters are smarter than you think, and you're dumber than you realize.
I dont know how to spell "cuz" i choose to write "cuz" instead of "because" for people like you. Kick rocks and make a good argument besides grammar and spelling.

Sorry about your dog, man.
As for the 2015 season, it all depends on pass protection. Has getting a FA right tackle fixed our offensive line? Is Joekell going to actually look like a cornerstone LT? Is Bowanko the center that solidifies the oline? Same question with Linder...
If the offensive line is fixed, BB5 will look a lot better. If the that squad is pretty much the same as last year, we'll wind up with 4 wins.
I just don't want the season to be over on Oct 1st. That would be an improvement.
As long as he doesn't brand us as America's team again.
I hope to see Thomas signing combined with the evoultion of these young recievers help Bortles.
we need some serious results this season or it's back to square one. Another <4 win season and I see Gus getting canned. Khan can't be happy with how the first couple of seasons have gone.
Schein loved the Harvey & Groves picks too. In fact, he was pretty supportive of all our drafts during the Shack & Gene regimes, and now he says this was a horrible mess and Gus shoudn't be expected to do too much with what he was given. Schein is just another talking head. He just happens to have a soft spot for the Jags for some reason.
You guys that are expecting a winning season might want to do yourselves a favor and hit the liquor stores now before prices skyrocket due to explosive demand around October. I can see this season ending at 5-11 and Khan/Caldwell/Bradley saying that this was "right about where we expected to be" in year 3 of the rebuild.

i think more like 6-10 / 7-9 is likely. wouldnt really be that unexpected based on where we were at before.

it sure would be great to have a winning season! It's been a long time...

I guess 'talking heads' aren't really required to actually make sense... their just required to talk about a subject. I have no expectation of a 'winning season' (defined as 9-7 or better). Heck, I'll be grinning massively if we reach 8-8! But what I expect is at least 6-10... and yup, I could completely hear Gus and Dave saying 'this is about what we expected' if we finish at 5-11. I'm not so sure if Khan is going to be so hip to a crummy 5-11 this season though. He has already come out and (more or less) said that he expects substantially better this season; so I think the odes is on Gus to make it happen or his chair is probably going to start feeling a bit warm... and rightly so I'd say.
First half of season......3-5, second half 4-4. We finish 7-9, and Gus is given another year to get us in the playoffs.
fyi, Cecil Shorts was on NFL Radio, when asked about Bortles he said he is a stud and is going to be a SUPERSTAR, said he is a hard worker, very smart and humble.
When asked about Blackmon, he said he finished his rehab, is in a great mood and is excited to get back into the NFL with the jags, or something like that.

Do you have a link or is that on Sirius or something?

MJD said the same thing about Gabbert.
I like our chances a little better this time around.
