I d just like to give a shoutout to Dave Caldwell. It really does take special skill to truly convince people that the Jags were serviceable while at the same time easily being the worst roster in the NFL. Truly operating on another level. One for Dave!

I was living in Jacksonville when we were awarded the franchise some 25 years ago. I never heard of relocation, struggles of a small market, having to think outside the box to survive during any time of the Wayne Weaver era.

It was only after Shad Khan purchased the team that all these negative discussions started taking place. In your opinion what has changed between then and now? Simple. We won in the Weaver era more times than not and Shad is struggling to stay out of the bottom of fastest owners to 100 losses. The next general manager hire will be the single most-important decision he has ever made in business. Just win baby … just win.
