I'm amazed by the negativity on this board sometimes. Topics like 'Jaguars Armageddon'... Are you kidding me? You think this is the end of the world for the Jags??? What we are witnessing here is quite the opposite. We are seeing the emergence of a group of players that can really be a force in this league for the next ten years.


Just consider this from PFF.https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/20...nfl-teams/


"For the 2014 season, Blake Bortles was the lowest-graded player on the Jags offense (-35.7). Through nine weeks of the 2015 season, Blake Bortles is the highest-graded player on the Jags offense (+9.8).


Bortles has been especially impressive throwing the deep ball as he ranks as the No. 4 passer in PFF’s deep passing accuracy statistic. Finally, Jags fan can be optimistic that they have found a legitimate franchise QB"


If that isn't a reason to be positive I legitimately cannot think of one. What we would have given to be able to say that about a Jags QB! When you factor in the emergence of the other young studs on offense, I can't see why constant negativity abounds on this board!


Of course the last few years have been painful, but, in my opinion the 'blow it up completely and let the rookies play' approach has been justified because it has given these young guys the opportunity to develop into the playmakers we now see.


Are we a good team right now? No. Are we improving? Yes, as evidenced by the amount of close games we are in. Will we continue to improve? With the amount of young players getting experience, you would have to be an idiot to think we won't improve. And what's the next step from losing close games? Winning close games! The future is bright!
