Quote:This year was our year. Never again will the stars align like they did this year.

Really? Lol

The stars aligned when Marks got injured twice and missed almost the entire season? The stars aligned when Fowler tore his ACL in rookie camp and missed the entire season? The stars aligned when our best offensive lineman went down early in the year and missed 13 games? The stars aligned when our big FA TE got injured in the first pre-season game and missed the first 4 games?


Give me a break. We've been just as unlucky as every other team with injuries if not more. The clots are missing Luck and who else exactly? The Texans aren't exactly reliant on having a good QB.


We have the youngest starting roster in the NFL. We have so many talented pieces and the most talent in a long long time. There's a reason we see NFL.com saying the Jags could become the next great offense. The core of this team is made up of players in there first 2 years:

Bortles

Yeldon

A Robinson

Hurns

Lee

Greene

Cann

Linder

Fowler

T Smith

Colvin


All of those guys are rookies or second year players, all are getting better. People have such a "win now" mindset but look at the bigger picture. You add another draft to those guys, you bring in some more free agents, you throw in some talented vets like Marks, Thomas, House, Miller, Parnell and Walters. The future is extremely bright. I hate losing as much as anyone but this season was never win now, I'd have taken 6 wins at the start of the year as long as we stayed in most games. We've been blown out once and blown out another team once. Caldwell always said it was going to be a 5-year plan to become a team that can sustain winning over a long period of time.


Maybe people have the "win now" attitude because the NFL season is so short and the offseason is so long but the future of this franchise is great. We've got a great owner and a great GM.
