Quote:I would say the Bengals (Bungles years) were once as bad and maybe the Saints(Aints years). But I agree, there is a culture of losing and it is disheartening to say the least.

Yup. The Bungles had just about a decade of futility (what the Jags are currently going through in year 7). Although, during that span the Bungles did post an 8-8 record or two.


Anyway,, Cincy finally broke out of it when they got a guy who's great at drafting (Marvin Lewis,, they didn't have a GM). Even though the Bengals had early draft picks for years,, it didn't necessarily translate into wins. Lewis kept drafting solid, year after year, and the past decade has seen that come to fruition (yes,, no playoff wins, but constant competitiveness and ability to beat the upper-tier teams with fair consistency).


Anyway, for the Jags,, coaching aside, they need to put together some more solid drafting for the next 4-5 years. The draft picks that'll stick from the past 3 years are still young (you can see this teams core slowly,,very slowly,, coming together). A few more solid drafts, and the Jags will be out of their decade of futility with a nice offensive and defensive core.


Well,, they will need a coach that can produce those drafted cores into win results. But, if DC can hit on a few more players from the next 2-3 drafts (particularly on defense or the O-line), Jags will be solid AFCS contenders again.
