Is this team "really that" talented?   Whatever that means. 

 

I see a team with enough talent to go at least 8-8.   I see a team that lacks a pass rush, that doesn't block very well, and has a big hole at QB.   I think fixing any one of those things would put us in the playoffs.   In fact, I think we could be in the playoffs next year.  

 

The main reason this team keeps losing is mistakes.  Dumb penalties, missed assignments, and a QB that can't hit the broad side of a barn.  I think there are 50 QBs in the league that are better than Blake Bortles right now, and it shouldn't be hard to find one. 

 

I actually think this team right now has more overall talent than it's had in a decade.  And I've never been one to tout the talent on this team.   For many years, I've said the problem on this team is the lack of talent.  But as of now, I really think we have almost enough talent to make the playoffs.  And they're mostly young, too. 

 

Really, I think our window is just starting to open, and the right coach will put us in the playoffs next year.
