Quote:Take your pick. There are plenty of posts right here on this thread. The minute someone expresses disappointment, or vents anger because the expectations they were led to believe would happen haven't happened, they get attacked for expressing their opinions and feelings. I, and many others, are fully aware that the Jags are "rebuilding". If you go back in time to the July/August time period and read the posts on this board, you'll realize how hyped the fans were about the prospect for this season. Go back to July/August 2012 and you'll see the same thing. Now, with 20/20 hindsight, we're told that those high hopes were stupid......we had no talent on this team, yadda, yadda, yadda. So, after how many years of listening to lies will you become jaded? Five? Ten? Twenty?


Fool me once, shame on you..........Fool me ten times, shame on me!

I understand your position, but it's not as black and white as you are making it IMO, and no one asserted any of the things in your list.  I'll just assume you were being sarcastically hyperbolic. 

 

Most posters who have tendencies do defend any of the current regime (myself included) also express dismay and/or malcontent with certain aspects of the rebuild -  while often questioning a coach or coordinator along the way. 

 

No one's telling you to cheer for failure.  Many of us expected the team to be take a small step forward this year  - and we have been disappointed that they took a step back in some areas instead while taking only baby steps forward in others.  

 

The gripe really boils down to how high your expectations for the youngest roster in the league in year two of a rebuild were -  and whether you can see tangible areas of improvement or not.  You obviously expected more and don't see anything to be hopeful about. 

 

I see several rookies, a few second year players and and two or three free agent acquisitions that could be great building blocks for this regime moving forward. It doesn't keep me from being disappointed - but it softens the blow. I also have a hard time getting overly worked up about a team's offensive struggles when they're starting a rookie QB who has averaged ~2 picks per game.
