Quote:This SI writer also picked Jags to make a run in the back half of the season to make the playoffs

I think the Jaguars will play well at the end of this season, but I don't think it will be enough to get us into the postseason.

 

I don't think this will be comparable to the 1996 season/team, because I don't think the talent nucleus is as strong as it was then.

 

Then you had a young Brunell, a young Boselli, a young Jimmy Smith, an in his prime Keenan McCardell, an in his prime Leon Searcy, a young Tony Brackens, and a young Kevin Hardy.

 

Now, while we have some promising guys, I don't think we have the same number of Pro Bowl caliber players or higher.  I could definitely see Bortles as one.  Maybe Lee or Robinson develops into one.  Maybe Cyprien (easy TMD).
