This team is a functional offense away from being a contender again.

The false "continuity" mindset is what's the same.  No need to spin it into an argument that wasn't made.

I agree we're a functional offense away from being a contender.

Problem is, we're a long way away from a functional offense.  Especially with so many crucial pieces (coach, GM) not changing to facilitate that improvement.

Patently false.

We just had the 6th ranked offense in 2017.

Heck, we put up 31 points and 480 yards against New England in week 2 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/b...160jax.htm and 31 points and 503 total yards against the Jets in week 4.  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/b...300jax.htm

With four of five starting OL IR, down to the 4th LT and 4th TE, with next to nothing from Fournette, yes we were a long way from being functional.

ANY team going through that would have similarly disappointing results.
