important perspective to have. as easy as the schedule is, it could take 2-3 games for it to start clicking for the young and new ones.

Bryce Young has pretty much been the definition of a slower starter going into every season.  I frankly don't like the fact the "easy" games are upfront. 

plus, the flip side is the Jags are talking about us just like we are them.  And I think they have more proven explosive offensive players.  I think at best, it's a coin flip opener.  Jags probably will be favored by Vegas.

oh i'm sure the jags will be favored, but it's mainly just based on optics. nothing substantive at this point. i mean how could it be anything but that? 

it is funny to hear jags fans talk about this game being a gimme for them. do they need to be reminded that the second half of the season last year the only games they won were against the titans. while they picked up hunter in the draft...i mean is that one guy going to be THE difference between winning and losing this year? 

who else did they pick up? dynami brown? ok...nice pick up, but again...is it enough to drastically turn things around? also, trevor lawrence. when was the last impressive game he had? 

and with a new coach? i just don't see any reason for much optimism.

the Jaguars are basically the Panthers. Bad D.  Inconsistent O.  But I think they are a more threatening O.

Rookie season? He had zero MFL experience and bad coaching

Season 2? He took the off-season off to hang w/ family and friends and play video games and not think football. Plus, getting used to a New coach 

But Dave knew what he was doing. Sat Bryce down, worked on fundamentals (footwork, timing), designed plays that worked with Bryces style and abilities. Was a different Bryce coming off the bench. Everybody saw the improvements

This past off-season? Bryce was working with TMac before the draft even happened. More football-focused. Head is in the game it seems

I dont think Bryce will be as slow as starter this coming season as qe saw in yr 1 and 2.

both had a common theme though (loudly discussed here going into both seasons), unusually light work going into both seasons given what he was.....

again, Mahomes, Allen, etc were getting more preseason reps than Young. 

I hope Canales plays him a lot in this preseason.   3 good NFL games vs the rest of his resume shouldn't put him in the light work tier he has been going into prior seasons with
