The Jacksonville Jaguars have been largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of the NFL over the last 4 or 5 years, and most of the blame for that falls on former general manager Gene Smith. At the helm for 4 years, Smith systematically and mercilessly destroyed the Jacksonville Jaguars roster. By the time David Caldwell took over as general manager, the Jaguars had by far the worst roster in the entire NFL.
Owner Shad Khan knew the rebuilding process would take time, and he bought into Caldwell’s three year plan, so far with good reason – Caldwell has done a very good job in his 3 offseasons.
