With that said, every offseason we let some players walk that are real head scratchers.  Go back to our last winning season there are only a couple players left.  This team has got to get a group of solid players to build upon.  Insane when you look at the turn around in the last 5 years.

Let's go back to out last good season in over a decade in 2017.  Look at the 2017 roster and then look at the Jags current roster.  It's almost entirely turned over in a span of 4 seasons.  Pretty crazy:

I pretty much agree but the superstars need to lead through example and Jalen was not that type of person.  As much as I rooted against him, I think of Ray Lewis when speaking of building a winning culture.  He didn't let their defense take a break.  Sure, I got in trouble in ATL, but in the locker room and on the field he was a true leader. I think Devin Lloyd is a player that commands respect .... at least that's what was presented within that segment illustrating his 2 teammates getting killed and him coming back for his senor season, leading them to the conference title.
