At the franchise start, TC had a plan to win the division and build foundational philosophies and mistakes were made but the vision was executed. Under Shad ownership, what is the vision and where is the plan.

The hires don't make sense and the front office was punching the clock with no consequences. I was Luke warm on Urban because the messaging was wrong. We need football people.

The troubling what ifs don't stop with the previous posts.

Considering all of the missteps Meyer has made since he's been here, how will the rookies develop (or not) if Meyer and the coaching staff remains intact?

Are they talented enough to actually be developed into quality starters?  Baalke doesn't necessarily have the most impeccable drafting resume.  Two critiques I've heard about him are that he takes a lot of chances on guys with torn acls and that he drafts on the triangle numbers (ht-wt-speed) instead of football ability (i.e. potential over production) have thus far proven to have some merit with the Tyson Campbell (Potential over production) and and Andre cisco (ACL) picks.

Can the current coaching staff, which somehow didn't know that Jack plays better when he doesn't have the responsibility of calling the defense and somehow doesn't have a clear indication whether Trevor Lawrence is comfortable running a QB sneak, develop these guys if they DO have the talent to be quality NFL players?

If the current coaching staff remains, can they get the most out of the talent even if they CAN develop them into quality NFL players?  The fiasco with TL and Jack, the odd substitutions at RB, the ineptitude inside the 5, and the seemingly complete lack of quality second half adjustments makes me wonder.

With Trevor Lawrence, this should be an exciting time to be a Jaguars fan.

But right now, I have as much apprehension for the future as I have had at any point in team history, and that includes when I lost it with Bradley.
