I came home from the game yesterday, and turned on Red Zone, and watched a couple of dozen teams successfully execute plays the Jaguars are not capable of executing.  Receivers getting open, passes thrown with great accuracy, etc etc etc.  It should be apparent to Shad Khan that our number one problem is lack of talent.  So perhaps the silver lining from yesterday is that Khan can see that the problem with this team goes beyond the head coach, and that we need a new GM.  When you line up on offense with Tavon Austin, Jaydon Mickens and LaQuon Treadwell at WR, at Ogunbowale as RB, and O'Shaughnessy at TE, those are not starting quality players.  And then you watch Red Zone, and you see former Jaguar players all over the league making plays, and it's stunning.  Darrell Bevel is an experienced offensive coordinator who has had success with other teams.  But this offense doesn't look like an NFL offense at all.  It's the talent level that is the main problem.

As bad as Urban Meyer was, Trent Baalke has been just as bad.  All those draft picks, all that cap space, so we were supposed to have this major infusion of talent this year, and it looks like we went backward talent-wise. 

So Leftwich, McDaniels, Pederson, Caldwell, who cares?  If we don't get a much better GM, whoever it is will be fired in 2 or 3 years, and we'll be right back where we are.
