I feel good about the Jaguars waking up this morning. Sounds odd to say that after the season we just witnessed, but it’s the best I’ve felt about this team in a long, long time.

If you want to be a good team in the NFL for the next era, say 10 to 15 years, you need to secure your quarterback. You need that quarterback to sustain your success and be a contender. You have to have that guy.

In a season of misery, I can say that Sunday’s game was the worst of them all.

I don’t think anyone expected the Jaguars to win on Sunday against the Titans, but I’d hoped that they would at least be competitive. It just wasn’t there.

If I’m coach Doug Marrone, I think the decision is clear — I think it’s time for a change at quarterback.

A bad day for the Packers still meant a win for Green Bay. A relatively good day for the Jaguars by Jaguars standards tells you where things are.

It’s still a loss, but the Jaguars didn’t play like a team that’s going in the tank on Sunday against the Texans.

At this point, I don’t know what else there is to do for the Jaguars. These are the players you have. These are the players you have signed in free agency and drafted. They’re young. There isn’t a hidden gem on the roster to plug in and make this team better.

That’s five straight losses for the Jaguars and Sunday’s 34-16 clunker may have been the worst among all those defeats.

The phrase that keeps running through my head as I break down another Jaguars loss is the same as it was last week, the week before that and the week before that, too.

Another bad loss and more of the same in how it looked.
