Quote:All of my NFL/Non-Jags friends are amazed at how good they "perceive" the Jags to be. I mention that many fans want the coach fired and I get a quizical "huh" look. They obviously don't follow the team like we all do, but it is interesting that when you bring up the Jags, we aren't patted on the head anymore. 

 

 Lions Beat Writer Justin Rogers,  who I believe does a very good job covering the team for MLive.Com,  wrote the following in his most recent NFL Power Rankings:

26. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-10)

Blake Bortles is second to only Tom Brady with 35 touchdown passes. Jacksonville could be a sleeper team in 2016 with the return of first-round pick Dante Fowler Jr. from injury and additional bolstering of the defense in the upcoming draft. (Last week: 26)
