Quote:I have no problem with this. Last year was the first real jump in performance. 2014 had a rookie O, could barely move the ball, and was just an all around train wreck. So DC and GB brought in a highly sought after FA, a new OC and Doug M to coach the line. That fixed a lot of issues in itself so kudos to them for finding what we needed on O to GET US GOING ON OFFENSE. We saw improvements in Gus' time management in key situation this past season and they fixed the red zone issues the last 1/4 of the season. It sucks that we only had a handful of wins, I can not argue that point, but if at this point we fire the HC (which keep in mind, every player on this team seems to greatly admire) who would you want? But let's be real too, which big name HC would come to JAX? Because since I've been following the team no big free agent coach or player except Julius Thomas has really wanted to come here. It frustrates me to no end thinking of changing coaches every year. Constant change and instability only creates perennial bottom dwellers. I feel we are on the brink of rising from the ashes. So let the team grow.

This will fall on deaf ears. People seem to think Jacksonville has the same allure as New York of Philly. In reality we are a town that has huge growth potential but that's it. The only way to really build this franchise is to create stability and build through the draft. FA is good because we have the money to over pay anyone we want but the truth is the draft is gonna be our bread and butter and that takes time.



See teams like the 9ers can suck for the next 8 years and not bat an eye because they know they have a stable fan base, ownership and will acquire a ton of great players in the process to make another run. Unfortunately our franchise is not old enough to have endured such hardships so we have not been exposed to the Tim Ratays and Joey Harringtons of the world (although Blaine was really close).


I just laughed when I heard this because I knew everyone on this board would react just like this. It's still funny. I'm sorry we aren't a once in a generation power house like the Pats but that is just not the norm. Somebody stated that the last 13 out of 15 Super Bowls featured Manning, Brady or Big Ben. If that does tell you that there are tons of team waiting at home every year then I don't know what to say.




This team is improving and the arrow is pointing up wether people want to see it our not. Instead for throwing hissy fits when the team doesn't do something you like why not support them and try to understand the big picture? Look at it from a larger scope. I think most would rather be right than to actually see the team succeed. And guess what if in ample enough time we don't continue to see improvement then will we gut the front office and build it over again.


I'd rather have these guys excel though.
