The part in bold I think is a huge part of all of this.  2 seasons ago the Jaguars were the youngest team in the NFL.  After a couple of seasons players are either going to be better or be busts.

I also believe that the coaching change will make a difference.

I'm not going to say "division champs potential" just yet since we haven't seen them on the field, but I do expect a much better record this coming season.  I think the team will surprise a lot of people.  I still think .500 or better will be the end result.
