Some people even picked us for the supperbowl

That was 2008..........

Then... almost a decade later...
The Jags are dark horse darlings again... being picked by many to make a jump again behind a promising young QB and a plethora of weapons at WR and TE along with a promising revamped defense...
Then they bumble, stumble, and collapse to a 3 win season...

Y'all have fixed the HC issue, and now I think the only thing holding the Jags back is the QB position.  Unless Bortles does an about face, you'll be taking a QB in the first round next year.  The worst thing that could happen for you is for Bortles to suck and you go like 6-10 and have to trade up to get your QB.

Yeah... for sure... this team is to the point where they literally live and die by the QB play. Average or better and the team is in good position...

But I was speaking on the all of a sudden tack hype train in certain media circles... which tbh, I kinda pushed some myself... Based on last year, the promise of progress of a young QB, etc etc...

But like you said... kiss of death... Too much hype and one ding or dent into that young QB... and the tacks could end up falling way short of the goals many think they are able to achieve. 

Here's hoping.
