The Jacksonville Jaguars made a few moves during the off season that led many to wonder whether they may once again contend for the playoffs in 2009.

Since that stunning win the Jaguars have become just another team. A disappointing season followed in 08′ with an embarrassing record of 5-11.

Then there’s the acquisition of Torry Holt at wide receiver, adding tremendous strength to the team’s passing game. Holt’s proven himself to be one of the top in the league, but does he still have it considering he’s on the wrong side of 30?

The Jaguars pass defense in one of the worst in the league - in the same division as the Colts, QB Peyton Manning will carve them up. Matt Schaub shouldn’t have a problem either.

QB David Garrard was supposed to take that leap into one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL, he is yet to take his game to the next level and has become and average QB. If this is Garrard’s fault or the fact he has no play-makers other then MJD remains to be seen.

Week 2 was somewhat disappointing after the solid week 1 effort. The Cardinals, who had fallen to the 49ers in week 1, visited Jacksonville and ripped apart the Jaguars defense at the seams, winning by a 31-17 margin. Kurt Warner was 24 of 26 at quarterback, and such a high completion rate raises some serious questions about the defense in Jacksonville.

The Jaguars do have two pieces in place that have the potential to be good team once again, Garrard and MJD, it’s that the rest of the team is mediocre.

If they don’t get things right, they’re going to end up worse than their 5-11 record last year.
