Quote:We were told that it would be a measuring stick by Bradley...see how we stack up against the best...obviously not so great.

 

Yes, we have been the dregs of the league the last 3 years...unfortunately, we are still in the same spot.  At least the other teams that find themselves towards the bottom eventually get better.  I wonder how bad our record is the last 4 years compared to the next worst team.  Bet it wouldn't even be close.

 

Bradley certainly talked that game up, and they came away lacking.  In the grand scheme of things, who was really surprised?  That's my point.  He may have called it a measuring stick game, but the reality was completely different.

 

The Jaguars are no different than any other team.  It will get better on the field.  We're already seeing the improvement on the field.  It's just got to become more consistent, and more prevalent.  It really doesn't matter how bad this team has been compared to others.  The approach they've taken to rebuild this roster is different from what any other team has done previously.  Think about how many rookies we started last season.  Think about how young this team is even today.  The expectation was that the team would struggle, and it has.  But, there's also an expectation that it's going to get better, and that the experience the young players have gained will start to reap rewards on the field.  That should come as well.  The hope is that it happens sooner than later.  If it doesn't, there will be changes coming.
