Quote:You're putting way too much thought into this. 

 

Ultimately, these "experts" (you're being generous by labeling them as such, but I'll go with it) are simply lazy.  That allows them to laud the drafts and other personnel moves made by the team, but then completely shelf that and focus strictly on the records the past couple of years.  They don't care about any tangible improvements the team has made, and they're not going to spend their time researching a team that has a media market that doesn't register on their radar. 

Probably right here.

 

I guess I set my cynicism aside for the moment.

 

Nevertheless, I look forward to this team proving the media hacks wrong about this team being among the worst in football.

 

Goodness knows the team has proven them right over the last 3 years.  SMH.

 

P.S.-Just read the USAToday Pro Football Preview.

 

Jacksonville is 22nd in their Preseason Power Rankings, two spots below the Texans, a spot below the Jets, a spot above the Giants, surprisingly TWO spots above Kansas City, and nine spots above the tacks, who rank as the second worst team in the league behind Chicago.

 

They predict we will finish 7-9.
