Culture can't change overnight, loseing takes time to get over. Team might be better yes,but still not winners yet.  Your a loseing team until you prove otherwise.

NFL stands for Not For Long.  Teams can and do change very fast in the NFL.  Have you forgotten your Jaguars history?  The Jaguars went from 4-12 in 1995 to the AFC Championship Game in 1996.  The Jaguars also went from 3-13 in 2016 to the AFC Championship Game in 2017.  This isn't just the Jaguars.  The Carolina Panthers went to the Super Bowl only two years after being 1-15. If you want recent examples, just look at the last 3 Super Bowl participants.  They included teams that were 4-12 and 4-11-1 in the previous season plus another team with a losing record.      

For the record, I'm not saying the Jaguars are going to playoffs, but there's no reason that they can't improve significantly in one year.  Barring major injuries (such as losing Trevor for the year), I would consider 5 wins this season to be the floor.  This team won 3 games last year.  That's only two games improvement.  We spent a record amount in free agency and had excellent draft position.  The 2022 team will have 10 new starters who weren't even on the roster last year.  With the promotion of Cisco, that's 11 new starters.  If you count ETN as a starter, that's 12 new starters.  You then factor in new non-starters that may play a role (Arden Key, etc.).  You then consider the high probability that our rookie quarterback from last year will improve this season.  You then hopefully factor better coaching.  If all of the above doesn't get us at least 2 additional wins this year, I would consider it to be a major failure.
