Campbell continues to look like a guy that probably should have been a late round special teams pick, the offense looked slow, they had to take multiple times out because they couldn't get a play in coming off an officiating timeout, and the team looked utterly unprepared to play an NFL game that they had months to gameplan for.

I thought the fact that Meyer has experienced NFL coaches around him would alleviate any problems with his lack of experience, but after the game yesterday, your point must stand as correct unless and until Meyer can turn this thing around.

The thing that gets me is, did no one ever say, hey, guys, is this really a good idea to have Trevor drop back and throw on every play?  Didn't they have a meeting and make an offensive game plan?  Being behind is no excuse.  This happened from the very first play.  We have a very experienced offensive staff, and in the weeks leading up to our first game, everyone said, we're going to rely on our running game.  What happened?

I thought similarly. I figured Bevell would help him to have the team reasonably prepared to play and Meyer's problems would be more situational and in the flow of the game, and that the Jaguars' superior talent would help them overcome it and possibly even look really good since they had the benefit of an unknown scheme. Boy was I wrong.

Of course the worst part was putting Meyer in charge of the draft and player personnel, that Campbell pick is going to be an albatross around his neck for a long time. Khan might want to get out in front of things and strip him of personnel responsibility today to stop any more really bad moves like him trading away a young and promising player for peanuts.
