Quote:With a star-studded draft and FA roster, we might crack .500. Bill Belichick would take our practice squad on a playoff run.

I'll role with this too. I think Dave has done a great job with player acquisition since he's been here. They've not all worked out but they never all work out as we hope. On paper, we are significantly improved on defense now. I nevertheless choose to pay more attention to rational thought than to emotionalism where the Jags are concerned and not raise my expectations too high too fast. Cracking .500 would be an awesome accomplishment for this team given...

 

* our not so distant past records; we've only won 12 games in the past 3 years

* the difficulty of our current season schedule

* the fact that while we did gain some talent via the draft those draftees are nevertheless rookies who will need some time to realize their potential here. 

 

If we do better than .500 then that's terrific! Let's hope for a super bowl championship this season! Hip, Hip...Hooray!

... however, my expectation is to reach .500. Anything beyond that is gravy.
