Quote:What worries me is the media will heavily scrutinize Gus Bradley all season no matter what Shad Khan says about his job security. When reporters write he has no excuses left, they are setting him up for bad press conferences when we are on a losing streak. In reality we need to let our rookies make the leap from Year 1 to Year 2 like the offense did last season. High expectations are great if people don't go overboard and call this a "make or break year" for Bradley.

 

All of the love we are getting from media sources who used to disrespect us is wonderful. How could any Jaguars fan not like seeing former haters change their minds about us? We have been frustrated for so long about being disrespected by NFL analysts who are supposed to be team-neutral. So the complaints about finally getting the respect we deserve make no sense. You wanted it and now you have it. Bring it on.

Bradley deserves to be criticized if this team doesn't produce wins. He will be in year 4. All the pieces are in place. If he doesn't win, he should and will most likely be fired and a new coach will be brought in.

 

If you don't think this is a make or break season for Gus (regardless what Shad or Dave say) then you're delusional. He absolutely must perform this year. No more "they competed" or "We played hard and thats what matters." Wins matter. Always have and always will. It's how you judge a coach.
