Quote:While I agree that he doesn't have to run the most potent offense in order for the Jags to have success, shouldn't that be the goal?


In regards to Bulger and the Rams, he had a hall of fame offense and barely cracked the top 10, behind the Jags that year. With most of the same players, they were one of the worst offenses the following year. He didn't exactly scorch the NFL even with pieces from one of the NFLs all time greatest offenses. I'm not saying he did a bad job in 2006, but he wasn't doing anything special.

 

The goal is to get this offense better.  They don't have to be a top 5 offense in order for this team to see dramatic improvement in the W-L record.  With the defense as good as it is, and will be in the future, having an offense that can crack the 20 point barrier that they struggled with this year would go a long way toward changing their position in the division. 

 

He didn't have a hall of fame offense.  Bulger had one HOF receiver, a very good running back, and enough talent elsewhere to assure success.  The following year they had to contend with Bulger and other key and injuries.  Check the roster to see what was backing those injured players up and it's pretty easy to see why the offense fell off.
