Quote:And obviously those coaches were only fired because they lost to Gus, right [TIRED JOKE RETREAD] gang?


Some people refuse to acknowledge how bad this team was under Gene Smith. Some people are unable to look at NFL history and see that both the Steelers and Patriots endured around 30 years of losing before they became legendary. The Bills lost 4 straight superbowls. The Browns lost their team to a different city and watched them win the superbowl that next season. The Lions have 1 playoff win since 1957. These people expect 3 years to be enough to overcome a decade of horrible drafting. These people refuse to refer to history and reference it towards the future.


Is Gus Bradley the long term future HC of the Jaguars? Probably not. Those that think this team can press the reset button and be an immediate contender are mistaken. Look at what they did to Gabbert; 3 seasons, 3 head coaches, 3 offensive coordinators. Is that what we really wanna do to Bortles? What about that whole "definition of insanity" thing you fools keep going on about?

When people are mad perspective goes out the window. I agree. Just like when they asked the guy they interviewed on 1010xl who talked to Khan, they ask "When have you seen a guy go 8 and 31 and not get fired?" He said "I never have but I've also never seen a team draft so bad for 10 years straight either." I know people wanted Caldwell to get this thing right quickly but you have to realize how bad the team was when he got here. That kind of roster needed time to find the talent.


I always refer people back to the 2012 depth chart. That was the starting point.
