I'm not sure Gus has enough 'football mind' to become even middle level.  I like him, just as many others do, but the words that come out of his mouth don't give me the confidence that he is the 'smartest guy in the room' football-wise.  He has done excellent work here in many areas, and I am still hoping he can show me something this year to change my mind, but deep down I just don't think he has the broader chess skills for the NFL.  

 

Bortles does look promising, but Henne is a hindrance, so to me they offset. I feel that Henne is actually hurting Bortles development. So with BB's inexperience, we have a net minus at Qb.  

 

Agree with the above as well, our ability to stop big plays at big times is sorely wanting.  This is a coaching issue as much as anything.

 

Turnovers - I actually thought last year we did well with the forced-fumbles, but INT's were almost non-existent.  All turnovers are important, but there is nothing as adrenaline inducing to a team as a sweet pick at just the right moment.  

 

We still have a very low opinion of ourselves..  and the rest of the league feels the same way.  The monkey on our back...  This is the single most important area that we need to improve upon.  Knock some top-tier teams out of the playoffs - that'll fix 'er.
