Quote:I don't think the colts got worse, the moves they've made so far seem like horizontal movement. The colts will have to do their talent acquisition in the draft, and the GM there hasn't been consistently great at that so far, so there is no certainty it will happen.

 

The Jaguars definitely got better in free agency. Julius Thomas alone is a massive upgrade over Marcedes Lewis whose blocking isn't nearly as good over recent years as he seems to be getting credit for. I think Parnell couldn't possibly be as bad as what the Jaguars trotted out at right tackle, either. Odrick will have to show me he's worthy of a forty million dollar contract, though. If the Jaguars land a real pass rushing threat in the draft and shore up the linebacking corps I think they should show some major improvement.

 

I think that the Jaguars are getting better at the perfect time.  The Pats are worse, the Broncos are worse, the Ravens are staying the same, the Colts are the same...There is about to be a changing of the guard in the AFC, and if Bortles becomes our franchise QB, we're going to have a very strong shot for the next 10 years at a SB.
