Truth be told, I did not expect wonders from him this season aside from adjusting to the NFL game. The franchise did him no favours by hiring Mayer, drafting Etienne and ignoring the O-Line in the off-season. No offense to Etienne, but this team had many needs and RB was not one of them.

The addition of Dan Arnold helped us out at TE, and I think we are in a position to take a step this fall. Our defense is vastly improved, and with a few more pieces will it be competitive. Looking at the Bengals turnaround this season gives me hope; From hopeless to playoff in a year. Of course, we are the Jags, so I expect Khan to mess up the front office and coaching positions, but I try to remain hopeful. Give Trevor a WR1 and a respectable O-Line along with an improved DB corps, and things TL will surely improve.

I agree with some of the things you mentioned, but I have to strongly disagree with your opinion on etienne. Robinson is super nice but he has no homerun ability. This offense strongly needs a big play maker. All the top teams have this. You need a "cheat code" on your offense to blow up the defense. The defenses has 0 respect for this slow jags offense. As far Arnold, I like him a lot. The problem is he needs to stay healthy. With additions of 2 really explosive wide receivers this off season, (hopefully) he should be even more of a weapon. I don't think I seen a bust play as well as tlaw has played in any game; therefore another reason I dont think hes a bust. It's super ridiculous for some to say that this early, and let's knock on wood.

My issue is not with the player Etienne whom hopefully will be good when he comes back, but rather that the team drafted him rather than addressing the many needs this team had. Had our roster been solid, I would have applauded the selection, but the roster had more holes than a swiss cheese.
