I am talking about the current Jags roster and coaching staff, which I do have more confidence in than some here.

I am saying that this team is good enough to have a  winning record with a QB lesser than Lawrence. Ok, you think Tannehill sucks? Then we will go with Carson Wentz. The point is that it's time for this team to become better than just playoff contenders. How 'bout World Championship contenders. With a quality coaching staff, a good roster, and a "franchise" QB, just a 9 win season would be a failure in my opinion

We'll do better than 9 wins this year, barring something totally unexpected. Everyone's picking the tinhorns to win the division which is fair I guess given what happened last year but it'll be tough for that to happen with the level of talent on the Jags and the caliber of QB we have. You have to throw out his rookie season due to the dysfunction on the coaching staff which was historic in scope. Last year was effectively his 2nd year and thanks in part to some injuries, he had a major slump (as did the rest of the team) in the second half of the season. It wasn't all injuries, some of it was his decision making but he's going to be 24 this year when the season starts, just coming into his own. It'll become clear that he's not Tannehill or Wentz and by the time the season's done, they'll be talking about him in the same conversations as Allen and Burrow.
