With Khan's history he probalby will not clean sweep the front office so the vicious cycle seems to keep repeating.  It's like the Jaguars average 1 good season every 5-6 years. The Jaguars to be blunt are Hope Killers.  They get to a point that gives one hope they are on pace to become consistent winners and then just stomps on your hope.  That trickles down to the players.  This Sunday coming up I will watch but have little hope of being entertained. I guess I am a masochist because I have been a fan since day 1 and can't stop watching but know deep down going to wind up disappointed in most cases. I haven't checked lately but I remember reading a few years back that the Jaguars were the most losing Franchise in NFL history under Shad Khan. 

I have taken steps to kinda step back from the product.  Last week I turned it off in the third quarter because it was more frustrating than entertaining to watch. The rest of the season is a no win situation:

A. If we win most of the games against inferior team:  There is little doubt in my mind that Khan would run it back with the same personal. If we squeak out 3-4 wins, I can see Khan with that Typical Speech: "The Jaguars are on the right track, yada, yada, yada."

B. If the Jaguars continue the same level of pathetic play:  It's flat out boring to watch. The defense gets slowly driven down the field while the offense has 3 plays and out.

C. If Lawrence Comes back:  I think it would be stupid to risk him in this lost season but Doug is trying to save his job.  Lawrence is clearly better than Mac but Lawrence isn't a world beater either. The team was 2-7 before Lawrence got hurt and Lawrence himself has missed many open throws this year. 

Just looking at were we were 3 years ago and where we are now:  Lawrence was suppose to be this unbelievable talent to save the franchise or at the very least be a Great QB (hasnt happen), The team has had many high round draft picks since then and most just aren't good players.  Clearly Baalke has failed to secure the talent but he seems to have the back pocket of the owner.  Maybe things will change after the season but right now It's hard getting excited for Jaguar football.  It's kinda depressing when you look at the Detroit Lions and they were in our same spot just a few years ago.

I read your entire post in Dan Hicken’s voice. You even say “yada yada yada” just like he does. He calls himself a masochist. The only reason he turns it off in the 3rd is because his parlay won’t hit. “Run it back” was something he said a million times after the 2023 season. And your (hasnt happen) is something he says and him and Jeff always compare the Jaguars to the Lions. “Vicious cycle”…”Lawrence was supposed to be this unbelievable talent”…..is this Daniel ?
