I'm not sure it can be called a turning point because there was no change around it, the week before the chargers they lost, which has been what they've been doing since 2010. Before the game against the colts at the end of 2010 the Jaguars were a team in contention, even if in 2008 and 2009 they had losing records, in 2010 the curbstomp was delivered to the Jaguars and they were put out of contention at least through 2016. If the Jaguars do well this season and moving forward then maybe we can look at the 2016 titans game as another true turning point, when the direction of the franchise was righted.

Secondly - while it definitely takes time to overcome the damage done by that ^ there were other contributors. The biggest one was the decisions by Khan and Caldwell to hire Bradley and then to keep him (at least) a year too long.
Caldwell's over eagerness to gut the roster and "go young" cost the team as well, but it was a much lesser sin than those Gene drafts, Caldwell's first draft and the Bradley hire.

I agree with everything you have to say here. I just was talking about the point at which we could clearly see the Jaguars were not going to be competing anymore, and since then they've failed to even compete for something as pitiful as possibly the weakest division in the NFL over that timespan.
