Quote:Football fans on message boards make predictions on what will happen over the course of a season.

 

That's what we do.

 

Whether we do them well or not is another matter.

 

I offer a small number of predictions I made for 2014...right and wrong.  I'd be interested in seeing some of yours.

 

Pat on the back:  I predicted the Jaguars would start slowly.

 

Kick in the Backside
:  I predicted the Jaguars would get much better over the course of the second half of the season and be viewed as a team clearly on the rise.

 

Pat on the back:  I predicted Manziel would be a disaster and wanted no part of him on the Jaguars.

 

Kick in the backside
:  I predicted Jadeveon Clowney would have a monster first year playing opposite Watt, and that the Texans had a good draft class-especially the first three picks.

 

I think the most significant things I said/predicted were that the Jaguars wouldn't finish significantly better than in 2013, Henne = Gabbert, and anyone that thought the team would compete for the playoffs was unrealistic.

 

I was more than right about those three things, which is a shame. I was hoping the optimistic homers would be the ones that were right.
