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.

Gotcha. I'm sure any number of folks may pick a number of different specific moments, but the one you've isolated makes sense.  I suppose I'm just (for some reason) inclined to point to a wide swath of bad decisions over a period of time than a certain spot on the calendar when the bed decisions really culminated in an obvious moment.
