This right here. Can anyone name any player that has really gotten better on Offense since becoming a Jaguar? Maybe Linder or Yeldon. Would they be better on other teams or just as good? Possibly Lee, though you could argue he was just injured early on. 

All the Defensive signings have now fallen apart. This is basically what happened to the NY Giants in 2016 after their big free agent signings. They never lived up to that year again.

We can't just keep some coaches/football execs. and let some go. We really need new blood in here. Why does everyone want to keep retreading people? 

I really wish they could somehow get rid of Bortles. Unless he agrees to redo his contract. I'm not sure I see that option. The best FA options are Tyrod, Foles and Bridgewater. None or really great options. Maybe go after Tyrod because when he goes a to team, they end up with a legitimate franchise QB? Or hope for lighting in the bottle with Foles. Sadly, next year's QB class is bad mainly because I don't think Herbert will jump to NFL.

Defensive class is stellar though. I say trade back in 1st round. Go hard on OL/DL/LB/TE. Give them a season to develop under a new regime. Then hope you can find a stellar QB in the 2020 class.
