The Jaguars have gone from a perpetually rebuilding franchise into a darkhorse Super Bowl contender in one offseason.
The right coach, exceptional moves in free agency and a once-in-a-generation quarterback scratching the surface of his potential have accelerated that rebuild into a new phase.
It made what was, even then, viewed as a premature and head-scratching decision by signing Blake Bortles to a three-year, $54 million contract extension. Bortles was an average quarterback who never came close to the billing as the No. 3 selection in the draft. The 2018 season was his last in Jacksonville, although the financial strain from that deal lived on well after the team released him.
Pederson’s team doesn’t show those same deficiencies. Hired by Shad Khan to clean up the mess from Urban Meyer and help restore the franchise, the biggest gains in Jacksonville weren’t just on the field.
