Quote:Where is the improvement, besides adding a franchise QB? We are 0-6 AGAIN and can't stop anybody on defense AGAIN...

 

If you don't see any improvement from week 1 until now, then I really can't help you much.

We have seen no improvement whatsoever.  

 

Never said that either. 

 

I listed people above in post 13 that deserve credit and have done a good job.

The only improvement I can see is putting Bortles in at QB instead of Henne. Our line still can't block, we still can't run the ball, and we are still blowing coverages left and right, not to mention the idiotic coaching mistakes...

Thats on the OL coaches/ scheme more than the talent. The current starting OL talent is fine. The scheme and OL coaches are horrible IMO.

Again, if you don't see a difference, then I'm afraid that you can't be helped.  The team as a whole has gotten better from week 1 until now.  That has been the goal all along.

The talent might be fine, but the experience is not there.  The coaches can't magically pour experience into players' minds.

I think David Caldwell is doing a good job in not giving away the store with FA acquisitions and contract renewals/extensions. The financial impact on the team with a busted FA is minimal as he left himself an out with every contract. Good work there, IMO.

 

His two drafts have been okay, I'd say he gets a solid grade for them. There's some players who could develop into pretty good players and several others who may be helpful. Cyprien looks like a solid player and BB and AR15 look to be good. The jury isn't even close to a verdict on guys like Joeckel, Bowanko and Linder but all are essentially rookies.

 

He's done what he said he would do. He's built through the draft and augmented with low-priced or well structured FA contracts. They are only a year and a half in so wins-losses don't matter much.

From the coaching staff there's only a handful and neither of the coordinators are one of them. Gus isn't either.


Can anyone name me a moment in a game where they've thought "wow, that was a great coaching decision by Gus!" This year or last. Can anyone give me a game where we played above our means because of coaching? Maybe the first half of the Eagles game.

Dave Caldwell is not the problem here...

Agreed. As a matter of fact, Caldwell's biggest blemish on his Jaguars resume would probably be choosing Gus Bradley. 

 

IMO, he tried to follow the Atlanta blueprint too strictly there. 

Quote:Pretty much the whole front office/coaching staff.

 

I give them more kudos for sticking to the plan through the tough times.

 

Any sane, honest fan on this board can't say that they thought the Jaguars would have a winning record at this point of the season.  At best I would have hoped for 3-3 and at worst I figured 1-5.

 

That being said, I for one see a good improvement from week 1 through now.

Well then it's worse than your worst case scenario of 1-5.....

Quote:Agreed. As a matter of fact, Caldwell's biggest blemish on his Jaguars resume would probably be choosing Gus Bradley.

I want so bad for Bradley to succeed but his coordinator choices were bad enough it's hard to. I feel like barring 0-16 that he gets one more chance and if he does he has to make coordinator changes. They better be the right ones this time.

But seriously....even if you trust Bradley to get the Coordinators right this next time (which is a leap of faith at best)....what Coordinator candidate worth his salt would be beating down the door to come here at this point in Bradley's regime with such little security given Bradley on the hot seat??

 

Its almost better to just dump the Bradley staff (keep Sullivan/ Wash/ Scelfo as holdovers) and get a head coach in here that has a better chance of landing 2 quality Coordinators as the new coach will at least not be on any hot seat.

That's a valid point and something that would need to be considered. I think it would be easier to lure a good OC here regardless for two reasons. 1. Blake Bortles and 2. If Bradley doesn't make it there's a chance that good level OC gets a crack at the HC job with a well developed Bortles at QB by then.

We have seen no improvement whatsoever.  Maybe we should have them read some more of your posts.

But they are sticking to the plan.  Just like the Jags on game day the plan is not showing progress but they stick to it anyway.

The only progress worth a damn is the win record

 

2013- We started out 0-6 ended up 0-8 at the bye week.

2014- We are currently 0-6 and most likely will be 0-8 at the bye week.

 

Great Progress

Quote:Jedd Fisch. His unpredictable, innovative, deep strike offense is fun to watch.

/sarcasm  We are dead last in points per game

If they win Sunday will you go away?

Quote:What does this have to do with people who are doing a good job?

Winning= you are doing your job and progress is being made

 

Losing= People aren't doing their job correctly and its obvious some changes have to be made

What??? Deep strike???? Jedd looked like *#@! the other day calling all those short dinks and dunks. When the game was about over Bortles went to a 2 minute offense and we opened it up.Look what almost happened.

We just played lesser teams the past couple of weeks that are bottom feeders than us.  I doubt Pittsburgh makes the playoffs and the titans are no way making the playoffs.  The other scrub we played the redskins who are 1-5 spanked us.   I want to see how the jags do against a soild team again and then we can measure progress.  We have been playing scrubs
