Quote:So you look for good things and overlook the bad? Do you buy a car with a blown engine because the chassis is solid? A few positives among several negatives is not what you want in a head coach.
when have I overlooked the bad? I have criticized Gus plenty...

 

It's nearly hilarious that people think any team with mostly 2nd and 3rd year players and a handful of FA are going to win many games. Even winning half of them would be difficult...

 

BUT...when you look back to the beginning of the Caldwell/Gus regime, are we not better today? Has Bortles gotten better? How about the receivers? The running game? How much more effective is the running game compared to last year and the year before? The online is better, we can move the ball a hell of a lot better than 2 years ago, (until we get to the red zone)...Last year we had a good defense....This year the DL disappeared...We have more takeaways than we did last year and the year before, more defensive TDs, the passing game has improved dramatically, we have been in position in nearly every game at the end of the 4th quarter to be able to win which is a far cry from where we were the last 2 years even if it is against bottom feeders, and yet all some people can see is we still suck...

 

Some can't even acknowledge that any aspect of the team has improved...Gus gets all the credit for everything bad and not a single mention for anything good...

 

I'm on the fence with Gus...The rebuild is a process and I'm reluctant to abandon the process when I can see that the team is better than when Dave and Gus first got here...

 

They play as well as any team would that is slap full of 2nd and 3rd year players and a handful or so of FA...No first time HC is perfect...Look at BB when he started and look at him now...Jimmy Johnson wasn't lighting the league on fire his first few years, and neither has very many other first time HC... Not to mention this roster was gutted to the bone, it has been said that no rebuild has ever been this extensive...

 

This roster had less talent on it than an expansion team roster and some think we should be lighting the league on fire...That's not realistic folks...

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
