Fun fact. 

The Jags have been historically bad under Shad Khan.  The only common denominator is Shad Khan. He seems like a nice guy while caring about the team. It just seems to be out of his league to obtain success in the NFL.  He is a great salesmen and very smart business man. That does not mean he has the Know how to run a successful Sports organization.  I really do hope I am wrong. I hope to come back this time next year with you guys telling me I was wrong. I just cannot currently see that happening.

Biggest common denominator though is the flailing away trying to find a franchise QB since Brunell left.

IIRC the only first round QB we've taken to earn a second contract with the team was Bortles, and we can all agree that was a catastrophic error in judgment.

Beyond that, ownership don't matter, GMs don't matter, coaches don't matter. You find a franchise QB, and all the wrinkles any of those other guys have start to smooth out just fine. Everyone here holds Ozzie Newsome in high regard as a GM, but how many remember that he spent a first round pick on Kyle Boller? Or the example I used before, Dean Spanos. The Bolts have been blessed with VERY good QBs over the past two decades, but he is a terrible, cheap, owner that probably robbed fans of a lot to cheer for by failing to spend and build. But, because Rivers and Herbert have been among the top at their craft, few hold him as accountable as owners like Shad.
