Quote:No matter how bad things may get with this team, those of us who have been here through thick and thin will continue to support this team.


The first two games have certainly been a test for most, and the frustrations we all feel are only natural. But, a time will come when this team is on the upswing, and success returns. These challenging times will make it all that much sweeter.


Patience is going to be required, but I continue to remain optimistic we have the right people in place to address the years of abuse this team has been subjected to. It won't be a quick fix, but most things worth having take time to develop.


It's not a pretty picture right now, but it will get better.

It's definitely understandable for fans to be frustrated, and I agree, we're certainly looking up.

 

I think what gets most fans is the vicious abuse the franchise and its city receives from the media. As someone that has lived in four different NFL cities, I have never, ever seen any professional sports franchise receive the type of abuse from the media the Jaguars do when they're doing bad.

 

As another fan once put it, there's sort of a Godwin's Law effect going on in a sense that the longer discussion about the Jaguars being bad goes on, the closer it gets to relocation talk, lack of fan support, and Tim Tebow. Eventually, it gets to some people.

 

I do hope those people stick around though. It'll never be like this forever. Century-long rebuilding phases like the Lions are rare. I'm willing to go as far as to say that the Jaguars are one Teddy Bridgewater away from being an 8-8 team.
