1. I get that. However, 1st year QB can have success more than every in todays NFL with the rules favoring passing. and Glennon isn't even that good. 

 

2. I don't think the Jags OL personnel wise is as bad as everyone here seems to think. 

 

3. Ok, fair point. (So far anyway). Storm will be pretty good tho. 

 

4. I think Jax' WR talent is fine, rookies or not. As a matter of fact I'd easily take Jax' WR corps over TB's. 

 

 

Jimmy Johnson took over a team that was very similar in overall roster talent to Bradley. 

 

ALso, some of those players you cite were DEVELOPED BY JOHNSON. He gets CREDIT for that. I think Caldwell has done a decent job in the past 2 drafts. If some of these rookies aren't developing I tend to look at some of Bradley's assistant coaches as failing in their jobs. Could a few just be bad selections by Caldwell? Sure....but I'd doubt that being the majority. Jimmy Johnson for the most part put together a good staff. Yes, he had to tweak it a bit by year 3, but I'd certainly rate his assistants over what Gus put together, for the most part. 

 

You say that Jimmy only beat bad teams in his early success in 1990, but Tampa was 3-1 and 4-2 when his Cowboys beat them twice. 

 

Bottom line is After Jimmy Johnson's 4-22 start (the low point before he started winning consistently), I don't know many coaches that have started out as bad as Bradley (4-17) and recovered to be a successful NFL head coach with the same team. 

4.  If you are talking receiving talent 1-5, I'd give the edge to Jacksonville in terms of potential.

  If you are talking top two receivers, I'd give the edge to Tampa.  Vincent Jackson's size and experience and ability places him, at this point, above all of the Jaguars WRs, and while I did not care for Evans in the pre draft build up, he has proven to be a decent big play option and is bigger than any of the Jaguars WRs.

 

I might be able to buy the argument that Jimmy Johnson inherited talent similar in quality to Bradley, if you can tell me who the equivalents to Aikman, Irvin, Newton, Norton, Tuinei and Stepnoski are on the Jaguars roster.  Remember:  all six of these guys went to multiple Pro Bowls.
