That requires an elite QB, which the Jags don't have. Jags currently have a SB defense. Those types of defenses don't last long at all. In fact this upcoming season will likely be the last time we see everyone together + draft picks. Who knows maybe the draft picks end up being solid replacements on defense. After this season Fowler is a FA and a young pass rusher like that will require big bucks. Then the following season Ramsey, Ngakoue, and Jack will be FA. You don't let all 3 become FA, which means 2/3 will sign extensions next offseason. Similar to what the jags did with telvin and Linder and keeping the tag open for Arob. Players will be cut and the older vets will be aging while we wait for a rookie QB to develop if that's the plan. The window is now to win. If you got a stable QB then no there is no window and you continue to draft well and players come and go. That's not the case here at all unfortunately. We saw two year 2 QBs take massive jumps in Goff and Wentz. Thing is they have excellent offensive minded HCs to work with them in McVay and Pederson. Is that here in Jacksonville with Marrone? Is Hackett the guy? Because if you go the rookie option you better not miss and you got to have right coaches.
