2 – Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars need help and they need it badly after starting out 0-3. The team is underachieving and the offense may be the most disappointing unit in the whole league. The Jags’ offense is stacked with studs and for some reason they can’t get it together.

Coach Gus Bradley is a defensive guru, similar to Belichick but with less of a pedigree. Bradley, the former defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks was brought in to install some discipline. He inherited a mess of a team with its best player –wide receiver Justin Blackmon– constantly being suspended for off the field issues. The discipline that Bradley was supposed to bring hasn’t materialized and the team is still in disarray.

The Jaguars have brought in a ton of talent this offseason, including high priced free agents like Malik Jackson and Prince Amukamara. Although the added talent hasn’t turned into victories, coach Bradley still has his job.   The defense has some top rookies this year in Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack. The Jaguars are surrounding quarterback Blake Bortles with a talented offense but they can’t seem to crack the wins column. The Jags have two of the best young receivers in the league in Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns. The young Jags’ core would be like putty in the hands of an offensive guru like Josh McDaniel.

The Jaguars have an owner in Shahid Khan who wants to make a splash internationally. They play every year in England and he spends a ton of money marketing them in foreign markets. If they want to truly market the team, make them a winner with an explosive offense. Points on the scoreboard sell, and if Khan wants to be a player internationally, the Jaguars have to start winning games. In my opinion, McDaniels could help put points on the scoreboard and make this franchise marketable.
