Quote:Yes, they will improve. Will they improve enough to start winning more games, like maybe at least go 6-10 in 2015? They better, or someone may be looking for a new job...4-12 (or worse) ain't gonna cut it and 5-11 will leave someone's job in doubt I suspect.

 

No, I don't think the jags will make the play off's next season. There just isn't enough evidence to support such a prediction given this teams records over the last couple of seasons. I think Dave is doing a fair job as a GM, but he hasn't hit a 'home run' yet either with any of his drafts or f/a acquisitions. We still have too many people on our team who are legitimate backups but not starters who are out there starting. At the end of this season, we're still seeing some rookies continue to play like rookies. JO said that "losing is understandable but not acceptable." Starting next season, it won't even be understandable, and a head coach's job may be on the line. 

 

I have been one for patience these first couple of seasons; but the 'rookie rational' won't be quite so easy to buy into next season. It'll be 'put up or shut up' time. Anything less than 6-10 and I think an argument can be made that we're heading down the wrong road with Gus... 

 

I sure hope Dave can get us some serious help for our o-line.

 

I agree. If undrafted players or street free-agents are starting next season out of necessity...we are in trouble. We've been fed the line of how they wanted to build through the draft first and then supplement with free-agents. This season will give us three drafts. Its time to load this team with real solid starting caliber players.
