Yep.

Whatever it is that has better players running for the hills (besides just the Coughlin thing) it won't last forever  - and the bevy of upcoming draft capital is encouraging to at least equip the team for a bounce back. 
The odds of firing on all cylinders in 2021 don't seem too bad to me. 

2020?  Well, may have to be a transitional year.

See, I dunno about that.

Pittsburgh lost for forty years before finally winning.

Detroit has won ONE (1) playoff game since 1957, and has had one of the few winless seasons in league history.

It took the Saints 21 years to finally have their first winning season.

If teams continue to do bad things, they will continue to have bad results.  Sadly the Jaguars are not immune to that reality.

Given the next two years of draft choices and the possibility of landing Trevor Lawrence, I like our chances of having a long term turnaround.

But we have to get a lot more things right.

That means hitting big on the draft picks the next two years.

That means retaining the players we really want to keep and eliminating the acrimony between players and front offices.  Ideally, players should only leave here if: 

1.  We truly can't afford them because of the cap, not because we are being cheap
2.  They aren't good enough to remain on the team
3.  They retire
4.  The team decides to trade a player for picks-and not because a player forces a trade like Ramsey did and Yan is trying to do.

To be honest, a 1-15 season would be better than a 5-11 season with Trevor Lawrence entering the draft next year.

If we get the #1 pick in 2021 Season Ticket Sales would go through the roof.

Agreed completely.

I think Minnesota is entering the mix for Lawrence.
