Yes, that is the ultimate goal for every team every season. And no, no one expects their fav team to win it all every single season. That is indeed not realistic for ANY team.

But every year there are 9 or 10 teams that are in the mix as contenders to win it all. Yes, I feel the Jags should be better than just hoping to get in the playoffs every year. If just being good enough to have a chance at the playoffs is good enough for a fan base, then great.

That is not good enough for the fan bases of the actual contenders this year
KC
San Fran
Buffalo
Ravens
Bengals
Packers
Lions
NY Jets
Eagles
Cowboys

Now, I actually feel the Jaguars are above a couple of those teams as far as roster and coaching staffs. And Trevor is capable of being as good or better than a few of the QBs.

We shall see how year 4 of the Trevor Lawrence era goes. I think the Chargers and Jaguars are right there to prove they are true contenders as opposed to pretenders. Both have franchise QBs to get them there.

I blame this kind of mindset on the endless amount of talking head sport shows now. Opinions become so reactionary and this endlessly moving rankings and contenders that live and die week by week. 32 teams start the season trying to win it all, 31 of those teams will be disappointed. Every team and fanbase will have their own expectations for what they consider a successful season. Let's look at the teams you consider contenders in the last 5 years.

KC- 3 SB's
San Fran- 0 SB's
Ravens- 0 SB's
Bengals- 0 SB's
Packers- 0 SB's
Lions- 0 SB's
Jets- 0 SB's
Eagles- 0 SB's
Dallas- 0 SB's

So by being a contender, every team there but the Chiefs have surely failed. They didn't win it all so therefore it was a bad season and its the players/coaches/GM to blame. See its ridiculous.

2 seasons ago we were picking 1st for the second year in a row. The fact we've had two winning seasons in a row and contending for playoffs is a huge step forwards and something most fans see the positive and long term progression rather than why hasn't Trevor got a SB yet. Our expectations for this season are still get to the playoffs and hope we have a run in January. No one should realistically expect us to be a SB favourite yet. 

But when we do become a SB contender I'm sure if we don't win the SB that year it will be another thing people blame on Trevor.
