I post the above to represent the amount of johnny come latelies to this team since the draft. A team who just went 5-11 a year ago and hasn't won anything in a long time. This is dangerous. I feel like we're being set up for failure. This is a young team and they don't need the distraction or pressure that this type of attention creates. We made hollywood moves in the draft for the first time ever maybe. Usually the type of moves we made are only made by teams like Dallas and New York that are blockbuster and grab headlines. Now everyone wants to be "the first" to predict a Jacksonville playoff berth. 

What sets the team up for failure is an extreme lack of talent, the sort that Gene Smith left us with.

 

Now, this team has talent.

 

It has proven talent on the offensive side of the ball-proven enough so that people have high expectations for that group.

 

It has a lot of proven and potential talent on the defensive side of the ball.

 

Having outsiders acknowledge the talent we finally have doesn't set the team up for failure.
