Has the league, the national media, sports fans as a whole, finally caught on to how good the Jaguars are?

I don't know.

I, I don't think people have.

I don't, I don't think people realize how.

I am, I am, I because, OK, so they're 4 and 1.

It's not, it's not just the record.

It's the fact that first of all, Trevor Lawrence, we've been waiting for so long to see him.

Morph into whatever it is we thought he would be coming out of Clemson, which, and we kept hearing generational quarterback, you know, the guy's a superstar, and he's had a lot of ups.

He's had downs, but now he gets Liam Cohen, and that's the key.

Liam Cohen did wonders for Willies at Kentucky.

He did a lot at, uh, you know, with, with Baker Mayfield at Tampa, and now he's doing the same thing for Trevor Lawrence.

But defensively, I think we all knew this would be a top 5, top 10 unit.

We had Eric Armstead, uh, on our show last week, their standout defensive tackle.

And one of the things that he said that struck me was, We have a lot of young dudes in this, in this locker room, but he didn't mean players.

He was saying first year head coach, first year DC, first year OC, first year general manager.

All of that creates hunger.

So, Jacksonville is, I think they're a very good team.

The crazy thing to me is that they still haven't really gotten Travis Hunter or Brian Thomas Junior going.

When that happens, that team to me is going to be a real threat in the AFC.

I, I know they beat the Chiefs.

I still think the Chiefs are the team to beat.

Call me crazy, but until you really knock them off, there's a long season.

But what they've done, Jacksonville is, is really impressive.

But to answer your question, I still don't think people are giving them enough credit.
