   As far as Bortles he looked great in Preseason, but struggled at times mainly due to the weakest pass blocking offensive line in the NFL. 

 As far as weakness goes the Jaguars have tons as you would expect from a team that barely won 3 games.  The Oline as I mentioned is the worst, the FS is bad, and the CBs are young & learning.

The strength of the Jaguars is the Defensive Line it was fierce last season.  The team lost Big Red Bryant but talent was replaced with talent with signing of Odrick.


This site is the only one I use.

Pretty much what he said. The consensus opinion on Bortles is that he seems to show promise but with such a poor offensive line last season it was hard to tell. We had an excellent defensive line but a poor secondary. We have a new OC this season so everyone here is having to learn a new play book. We haven't had a winning season in a long time; last season we finished 3-13... that should tell you a lot. We have a billionaire owner (a relative new-comer in the NFL) in Shad Khan. He made his money in the automotive after-market industry with his business based out of Indiana, and a lot of interest in London. He has pumped a lot of money into dressing up the local stadium with things like the biggest billboard/scoreboards in the world and expensive 'cabanas' (featuring a swimming pool). We have a relatively inexperienced head coach in Gus Bradley and GM in Dave Caldwell. Bradley was formerly the defensive coordinator for the seahawks. Dave Caldwell was formerly with the falcons and seems to be doing a pretty fair job here so far.

 

As far as forums, this one is probably the most popular and does indeed have some pretty intelligent posters on it, though it's also an excellent place to get 'flamed'. The theme is generally family oriented so don't use four letter expletives or even abbreviations of one. As another poster already indicated, probably the most popular local 'sports talk' venue is 1010xl radio and a good place to pick up team information. 

 

I certainly welcome you as a new Jaguars fan but I have to wonder why, after being a buc's fan for thirty years, would you decide to switch to the Jags?
