Florida Times-Union columnist Gene Frenette writes:
"When training camp practice begins today, all those wait-and-see code words (rebuilding, patience and x-year plan, to name a few) should be outlawed. Sure, there are still elements of construction in place, but at some point, Jacksonville has a right to expect its NFL team to elevate itself to special."

Frenette doesn't foresee any problems signing Blaine Gabbert and Marcedes Lewis.

They said it
"Jason is really just kind of coming into the second half of his first year here but we worked a little bit in the offseason to make sure that he stayed up to date with a lot of our system and with him now being one of the guys that's going to be utilized more and more, he'll fit in just fine and I love his ability and what he can do. He's a smooth route runner, he catches all the balls, and I'm still surprised at how he's not with San Francisco anymore."
