There's a huge wave of retired baby boomers moving into the area, particularly from the northeastern parts of the country, and that wave will probably continue for the next decade or so.   These people aren't as infatuated with SEC football.     If the Jaguars can put a Championship contender on the field during this tim,  these transplants could adopt them as their new hometown team.  If not, they'll just keep their old hometown allegiances to the teams they grew up watching.  

 

I have no doubt in Bradley's ability to build a Championship caliber defense if he's given 3-4 years at the helm.   That and a running game, good special teams and winning the turnover margin can win you 8-11 games in the NFL.   After that, hitting the next level depends on what Bortles turns out to be.
