The fans had great hope when the GM was fired and Dave Caldwell was hired & hired Head Coach Gus Bradley.  The fan base has always wanted that Coughlin, JDR, and had hoped for Bill Cowher type of Defensive team but instead got Mularkey & Gus Bradley.   The team's fan base was told by GM Dave Caldwell that they needed time to rebuild (and many thought that the team didn't need to be gutted as much as it was, some felt it was rebuilding to fit Gus's scheme but hoped that they both knew what they were doing).  We kept the hope after only four wins in the first season, and kept the hope after even less the following year with three wins, because if nothing else they found their franchise QB in Blake Bortles.  We all knew that Blake was going to struggle his rookie year and even a bit this year when Gus had announced that his OC let him down and they went with Olson.  Oh during the offseason and preseason we were told how Lewis & Thomas were going to be on the field the most with tons of run plays & TE throws yet when the season started Thomas sat on the bench with injuries & Lewis mainly blocked due to Luke's horrible play.

We kept our GREAT Hope saying its simply bad luck due to injuries, but now the players are back healthy & still the team loses.   Most fans had only AVERAGE expectations for this season, heck many fans expected an 8-8 or .500% winning season with simply a shot at maybe winning the AFC South as the HC had said that he had finally built the team that would own the AFC South this year and many to come...


After week 6 we found out it is appearing to be horrible results of being 1-5, 0-2 in the AFC South.

 

My thread wasn't meant to be another fire GM Dave Caldwell & HC Gus Bradley thread, no my thread is meant to discuss why I feel that both are in the hot seat.  The main reason that the team lost this game and all five games this year, along with many in the last two seasons.

 

The team has the worst defensive backs in the NFL.

 

There I said it.  I know many will disagree with me, and argue that McCray is the Jaguars best cornerback in the NFL, or they will hype up House, or Aaron Colvin or whomever Gus starts at CB they will find a way to justify why he is the best corner in the league, but when it truly gets down to it.  When you look honest reality into it, the best corner is a backup (or was a backup on the Packers).  He couldnt even get a starting job in GB but became the highest paid starting corner in Jacksonville and why is that?  Because the Jaguars have the worst DBs in the NFL.  They had to go out and get Sergio Brown & House and pay them a lot because the GM knew that the DBs stunk, but I guess wasn't aware enough of how bad the team truly is at DBs... I mean some of it is the DC having a bad game plan & playbook, but most of it is lacking DB talent.


Sure McCray, Aaron Colvin, Gratz they all have potential but they wouldnt be starters on most of the other teams in the NFL.
