Since you asked:


 

"From this point forward" is accepting what was done in the past two years. I think a lot of mistakes were made in 2013. Here are the criticisms that I posted several times before. These are not hindsight, I posted them back in 2013.


 

1. Using the 2nd overall pick on the one position where the Jags had a good young building block. The trade the Dolphins gave for the 3rd pick would have been preferable. This mistake was compounded by trading Monroe for peanuts. Caldwell took the first offer he got rather than shopping Monroe around.


2. Failure to sign one of the seven(!) young good RTs in 2013 free agency. I would have gone after Andre Smith as my top choice.


3. Hiring a head coach with no previous head coaching experience. My choices at the time were (in order) Jon Gruden, Arians, and Reid. Reid was probably already lost to KC. Maybe none would have agreed, but Caldwell could have at least tried. None were interviewed.


4. Given that Bradley was hired, and had no previous experience as a head coach, at least find some coordinators with successful NFL resume's.


 

I was more than happy with the 2014 free agency and draft. No complaints there. I know some people are not happy with Gerhart, but I personally think it's mostly a problem with the OL. Hitting on Bortles (and from what I've seen so far I believe he's going to be elite) compensates for a lot of mistakes.


 

A. One thing the Jags can still do is replace the coordinators (or at least Babich). Gus can take over the defense for the rest of the season.


B. Signing Incognito would be another. I know a lot of people might disagree with that, but I don't see him as being a problem. If he becomes one he can be cut easily enough. It's not like he could hurt our W-L record this year.
