Noticed this yesterday and almost posted it. It is a good (if a bit brief) summary of how the team is progressing.
Here's hoping Winston Guy lives up to the praise. I have a good feeling about him, but don't have very high expectations. Maybe the pressure up front will help make him a "playmaker."
I like the 2nd place in AFCS prediction as well.
I pretty much just want to see improvement overall.
Besides winning more games, I would like to see some "quality" wins, as in beating a playoff caliber team.
Also, if/when the Jaguars lose, make it a "quality loss". By that I mean, lose by no more than a touchdown and keep games close, especially against a playoff caliber team.

I'd settle for more wins and less blowouts, but it never hurts to dream.
i think we are gonna be much better than everyone thinks we will be. but maybe thats just the fan in me.

Nothing wrong with that.

Maybe a little bit but that's fine. I think we'll be better than the early predictions of 2 and 3 wins too. If they can challenge for 8 wins and are showing improvement along the way, I'll feel pretty happy.
Bold prediction: We take the AFC South in 2015. This year, we grow.
Am I incorrect in recalling a lot being made of Blake's somewhat just serviceable arm? Has mechanics really helped to the point that the write up actually refers to him having a laser rocket arm? The strides he's made in such a short time is incredible.
That dude is hyped about Blake. It still feels too good to be true.

It really is. All the throws I saw him make in college were very wobbly and ugly. Now, he throws strikes and "pretty spirals". I remember reading on this board that the wobbly passes he made in his first TX practice bothered a certain few, which was under a month ago. Seems like he's improved that much in less than a month. Keep it going Bortles!

I think a lot of credit needs to go to our coaching staff, wow, having a coaching staff that can develop talent, (hey Jack this is what it looks like)

I like Guy, but he'll take some bad penalties(late hits). We saw it again against Chicago and I remember at least a couple from last year. If he can clean that up, I have no issues with Guy.

Yeah, I remember seeing somebody predicting last years Jags were going to go 0-16 for the season and Jeff Prosser going off on them on his morning radio show.
I have to admit, it sure looked possible after the first 8 games of the season, but luckily the Jags turned that around in the 2nd half and some how, some way found 4 wins, thanks mostly to the Texans tanking for TB.

8 wins would be complete validation of what Caldwell and Bradley are doing here. Anything more than that would be incredible.
I think 7-8 wins is definitely possible. Also, will alot of them coming in the second half of the season. Giving the team momentum going into 2015.

8 wins would be great...
and would fall into my sig prediction
I'd be a pretty happy camper.

Agreed. It is interesting that every since preseason you don't see anyone saying 2-3 wins anymore which tells me people are understanding the progress that's being made. Just hope people aren't getting *too* optimistic.
