Quote:If you're going off of performance from pre-season? How does that make sense? I know some of our key players are out, but its not like we struggled without them. Except for the pass rush.

 

Because this team hasn't been good in several seasons.  That's why it makes sense.

 

I'm going to quote Al Davis here, because if we want to move up in these useless power rankings all we have to do is "Just win, baby!" and that will solve it.

 

So long as we continue with the 2-14 or 3-13 seasons, nothing is going to change.

 

I do think we are on an upswing and this roster has more talent now than it has in a good while.  That is all projection and most national sportswriters aren't going to do that with unproven talent.  

 

The Jaguars have talent but the majority of it is unproven or hasn't shown their talent for long enough.  All we have to do is win and this false perception from fans that the majority of national sportswriters don't like us will go away.  They write about the things they think the most people want to read and that the most people will click on.  The Jaguars aren't yet a team that gets that favorable treatment.  Someday, though, someday soon.  It's coming.  

 

If Bortles continues to improve through the regular season that is all it will take.  Blake is the x factor.  If he plays well, the team will win more games.  He is the best QB this team has ever had and yes I'm saying he is more talented than Mark Brunell.  As a passer and his potential it's really not even close.
