Dude, we're like the Browns and Lions.  People don't respect you just because the other teams in your division are good.

You misinterpreted my meaning. I did not mean the Jaguars will be thought of as better while they are still a bad team. 

I meant that when (or rather if) the Jags ever become good, they could get a small bump in esteem because the division has a higher regard. 

This would be in contrast to current general NFL fan/media response of, "Who care about the AFC South, none of those teams/franchises are ever really good". I know the AFC South will never get the respect of divisions with major media markets, but it would be nice for the division to not be a complete afterthought.

Plus, watching those teams deal with heartbreaking playoff losses when they thought they were "this close" will give me more schadenfreude, then them just getting blown out by the Ravens/Chiefs.

Lastly, Texans doing well would ensure they keep BOB, who while better than Jag's coaches is not an elite coach. And Titans doing well may "force" them to sign Tannehill to a large contract this off season, when it is still questionable if this is just a good streak or he is a bon-a-fide franchise QB.
