Quote:The thing is, I don't necessarily think the fans are out of line in this case.

 

I think many, if not most of the fans, knew this roster was horrid when Gus took over.  I think many, if not most knew this wouldn't be a quick fix.

 

Many, if not most of these same fans, to say nothing of outside observers, felt the team has had some really good drafts the past two seasons. 

 

The overarching sentiment was that this roster is in much better shape from a talent perspective than it was when Gus took over.  I don't want to be unfair to Lageman here, but I do not recall any public pronouncements from him trying to dissuade the masses from that assessment of the roster.

 

Fans are reasonably thinking that if poor talent led to poor results then better talent should lead to better results.

 

When, in the minds of the fans, that 2+2 is equalling <4, people are going to wonder, grumble and complain.

That's why I believe the fans are completely justified. Id say most of the people on here were on board with the terrible first two seasons, because we kept hearing about how well the Jaguars were building the team for the future. They were so on board in fact, that a lot of people wanted us to lose on purpose.

 

" Wait until the team is built" they said. Guess what? Its year three, and however "built" this team is, they are still losing. Not only losing, but not taking advantage of a GOLDEN opportunity to take the division, and losing to one of the worst teams in the league.
